WAFERS summer course 2021 raises the challenges from three nexus of water, food and energy for young engineers. This virtual course will give students a broader perspective on water-food-energy (WAFERS) issues as well as offering a number of solutions such as changing consumer behavior as well as adopting suitable technology to tackle numerous environmental problems.
WAFERS summer course is organized by the Department of Chemical Engineering and Office of International Affairs (OIA) Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada, indonesia. This course is equivalent to 3 credit semesters which is applicable for undergraduate and master students. The learning outcome of this course are
- Students should be able to analyze the current global problems of water-food-energy as well as to propose a suitable solution to tackle those problems.
- Students should be able to choose appropriate technology based on physical or chemical treatments as well as biotechnology to solve the current problem on water-food-energy.
- Students should understand the role of community involvement to apply suitable technologies to achieve the SDGs related to water-food-energy issues.
- Students should be able to formulate the environmental challenges in their home country as well as to identify the concrete steps to find solutions both from technology and society aspects.
