The Computer Engineering Study Program under the Faculty of Engineering and Telematics Research Center of Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK) will hold an annual event called “Computer Multi-challenge Day” (CMD). The first event will be held virtually on November 27-28, 2021, with the theme: "AI swifts the Industry: An Era of IoT and Cloud Technologies".
This is one of the programs run by the USK’s Computer Engineering Student Association (HIMATEKKOM). It will take two days and consist of several activities, such as National Seminar, Programming Workshop, and competitions (the Syiah Kuala Hackathon, Fast Digital Logic Contest, and E-Sport).
In this year, the Computer Multi-challenge Day will introduce several programs; one of which is the IND 4.0 master curriculum development program supported by the European Union's Erasmus+ program (https://www.ind4-0-eu.my/). Several nationally-reputable speakers will take part in this event, such as H. Bambang Soesatyo, S.E., M.B.A (Chairman of the MPR-RI), Dr. Jerry Sambuaga (Deputy Minister of Trade of Indonesia), Police Brigadier General Edi Setio Budi Santoso (Karotekinfo ICT Division of the Police) and Iman Rahmansyah Tayibnapis, M.Eng. (Research Group Lead at PT. Nodeflux Teknologi Indonesia). Iman Rahmansyah from the artificial intelligence industry is a graduate of the Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Korea. He will talk about the role of Cloud Computing and IoT (Internet of Things) related to Smart Cities as well as the challenges in their implementation. This topic is chosen because Smart Cities have become one of Indonesia's SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
