The chemical/process, biotechnology and manufacturing industries play a very important role in the global economy. However, like other industries, they also face various complex challenges and problems, such as product development, waste management, energy efficiency, workplace safety, and others. To overcome these challenges, collaborative efforts are needed from experts and industry practitioners from various disciplines and regions.
In order to address these issues, we are proud to propose an international collaboration class program (2 credits) between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, and Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) Taiwan and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia on the investigation of industrial problems. The International Collaboration Class will involve experts and industry practitioners from Singapore and Indonesia to share knowledge and experiences in solving problems faced by industry partners. In addition, this program also discussed innovative technology solutions and proposals that can be applied to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and ensure occupational safety in the industry. In this program, participants from the three universities will be given the opportunity to learn from leading industry experts and practitioners from Singapore and Indonesia, and also to collaborate and discuss with participants from the three institutions. Thus, participants will gain a more comprehensive understanding of the problems and challenges faced by the industry locally and globally, as well as the solutions that can be applied to overcome these problems. We hope that this international collaborative class program can be a useful forum for experts, industry practitioners, and especially students to share knowledge and experiences, and to improve skills and knowledge in solving complex industry problems. Thus, we hope that this program can make a significant contribution to the development of sustainable industries worldwide.
