Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK) participated in a steering committee meeting which is part of the Erasmus+ program concerning on the Development of the Ind4.0 Master’s Program Curriculum. The meeting was held from 27-28 April 2023 in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The meeting involved 15 consortium partners from Asian and European universities and institutions. Three universities from Cambodia acted as the hosts, namely the University of Heng Samrin Thbongkhmum, University of Battambang, and Mean Chey University. The participating partners from Malaysia were Universiti Teknologi Mara, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and Universiti Kuala Lumpur.
Some partners from European countries were also involved, such as Hellenic Open University (Greece), Guglielmo Marconi University and Sapienza University (Italy), as well as from Germany (BK-Con), Skybridge Partner and AMC (Greece). Meanwhile, Indonesia was represented by two universities, namely Universitas Syiah Kuala with Prof. Dr. Ir. Samadi, M.Sc as the coordinator, and the University of North Sumatra with Dr. Emerson Pascawira Sinulingga, S.T., M.T as the coordinator.
In this event, an evaluation and assessment were carried out related to the Curriculum of Ind4.0 Masters that had been implemented by the consortium members. The evaluation and assessment are expected to provide constructive feedback to Erasmus regarding the progress of the running program. To date, USK has participated in nine Erasmus+ activities, namely: EXPERTS Program, INDOPED, SPIRE, S-FARM, DS/AI, Ind4.0, OPTBANK, UN4DRR, SPIRIT and CABNEI.
On 20-23 February 2023, one of Master of Electrical Engineering (MTE) students, Hendrik Leo, attended the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Information and Communication (ICAIIC 2023) in Bali, Indonesia. This Conference was organized by the Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences (KICS) and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (ComsoC) and IEICE-CS). Hendrik presented his research in an oral session: Medical Diagnosis and E-Health session titled: “A Mobile Application for Obesity Early Diagnosis Using CNN-Based Thermogram Classification”. In his presentation, Hendrik introduced a mobile application that can predict the individual body conditions between obesity and normal by integrating thermal imaging and deep learning Convolutional Neural Network methods.
Starting from January 18, 2023, new campus buses called “TransCampus” are available for the students, lecturers, and staff of USK and UIN-Ar Raniry. The buses operate on multiple routes across these two campuses.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Universitas Syiah Kuala in collaboration with the Telematics Research Center and Master’s Program of IND 4.0 created a regular discussion program called InspireUSThis program aims to motivate students to improve their skills after graduation. Experts in the field of industry as well as academia with a national reputation were invited as the speakers of this program. The first discussion was held in December 2022, and it featured Risman Adnan – the Chief Technology of Samsung R&D Indonesia (SRIN) – as the speaker. Risman, who has years of experience in the world of industry, encouraged students to deepen their understanding of concepts as these will help them operate any software. To develop a better understanding of concepts, Risman advised the students to allocate their time to enhance their technical skills and knowledge of program software as well as read books. In this discussion, Dr. Kahlil, the coordinator of the USK study program, served as the moderator. This event can be watched on the PSTEKKOM-USK YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/f1b-kVOL9Mc
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).
Due to a large number of postgraduate program applicants, the Chancellor of Universitas Syiah Kuala hereby extends the Registration Period of the Postgraduate Study Program for the 2021/2022 Academic Year. Find further information below:
