This project is integrated into two courses; Design Projects 1 and 2, which aim to provide Electrical Engineering students with the opportunity to experience a real problem-solving process.

“This Capstone Project provides an opportunity for engineering students, especially to gain experience in the process of solving problems using an engineering approach. This project involves certain stages and was carried out by 7th-semester students, indicating that they are ready to face real-world challenges,” said Adharul.

With the participation of 50 groups and a total of more than 160 students, this exhibition showcased various creative ideas and innovative solutions. Each group consists of two to four members and has completed projects based on actual problems.

In his speech, he emphasized the importance of students having a portfolio and real experience in solving problems in the field of Electrical Engineering.

“Through this project, students not only carry out research but also produce products that can be applied in everyday life,” explained Dr. Eng. Herry in his speech.

The Capstone Design Project exhibition is clear evidence of FT UB’s commitment to producing a generation of students who are not only highly knowledgeable but also able to face and solve the challenges of the industrial world with creativity and innovation.
