This year, the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI) once again held the International Short Course in Engineering \u2013 UI Creates, which took place from July 19 to August 17, 2025. The program <\/span>was joined<\/span> by 16 students from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) under the theme <\/span>\u201cTropical Sustainable and Renewable Energy.\u201d<\/span><\/em> Upon completion, the program <\/span>is recognized<\/span> as equivalent to 2 credits (2 SKS).<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Short Course featured eight academic sessions covering topics such as <\/span>Biomass Valorization, Sustainable Process and Product Development, Green Hydrogen, Renewable Energy, CCUS, Circular Economy in Extractive Metallurgy, Advanced Polymer Applications in Renewable Energy Technologies, Green Steel: Transforming the Steel Industry Towards Carbon Neutrality, Toward a Circular Future: Sustainable Polymers and Green Innovation,<\/span><\/em> and <\/span>Sustainable Roadway Illumination: Material Considerations for Solar Street Lighting in the Tropics.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The HKUST students also visited four major companies in Indonesia\u2014PT Krakatau Posco, PT Gotion High Tech Indonesia, PT Maggot Indonesia Lestari, and PT Inoac Polytechno Indonesia. These industry visits provided valuable opportunities for students to observe firsthand how sustainable technologies <\/span>are applied<\/span> in industrial settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the academic and industrial components, participants also learned about Indonesian language and culture through activities at Citra Alam Riverside, such as <\/span>batik painting<\/span><\/em> and <\/span>traditional angklung music workshops<\/span><\/em>, as well as a visit to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII). These cultural experiences enriched the students\u2019 cross-cultural understanding and deepened their appreciation of Indonesia\u2019s cultural diversity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., emphasized the importance of this program <\/span>\u201cThe International Short Course in Engineering is not merely an academic platform\u2014it is a space to build international networks and valuable experiences for both universities to learn and share insights on sustainable energy. We hope this collaboration will nurture a young generation that is resilient in facing the challenges of sustainable energy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Acting Dean of Students of HKUST, King Lau Chow, added <\/span>\u201cThis collaboration provides students with hands-on experience on tropical energy issues as well as cross-cultural understanding, enriching their global perspectives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Andyka Kusuma, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., Manager of Partnership and International Education at FTUI, stated <\/span>\u201cThe success of this program demonstrates that international education should <\/span>be designed<\/span> to integrate academics, industry, and culture in a balanced way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With the successful implementation of this year\u2019s Short Course, FTUI and HKUST reaffirm their commitment to expanding collaboration in academics, research, and industrial networking to foster innovation and sustainable solutions for global energy challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n
