WAFERS online summer course 2022 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. The WAFERS summer course is organized by the Department of Chemical Engineering in collaboration with the Office of International Affairs (OIA) Faculty of Engineering and Department of Food and Agricultural Product Technology, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, UGM.er students. The learning outcome of this course is:
- 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 of 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 societal aspects.
