This team succeeded to lure the jury by their design that is "Portable Human Powered Reverse Osmosis Device". Other ITB team named Orion which consisted of Anggita Ghassani Putri (Product Design) and Amalia Handini Astari (Ocean Engineering) partnered with CBNU student had won the Silver Prize. Both of teams with the other Gold Prize and Silver Prize winners had been invited to join Engineering Education Festival 2014 which will be held on Thursday-Friday (27-28/11/14) in Kintex, Seoul, South Korea.
Besides, three ITB teams also succeeded to win the Bronze Prizes. The first team was Alfian Rachmat Akbar (Electrical Engineering), Dwindra Sulistyoutomo (Electrical Engineering), Shapira Zahra Amethysta (Product Design) and partner from Kongju University. The second team was Dimas Adinugroho, Indera Aji Waskitho, and Muhammad Mustadi (Electrical Engineering) with partner from Kwangmoon University. The third team was Yoga Sukma Anggita, Tito Febrianto, and Rifko Rahmat Kurnianto (Mechanical Engineering) with partner from Woosuk University.
Second IS-CAPS Competition followed by 13 teams from 9 universities in Korea plus ITB and UKM Malaysia. ITB sent 16 students from various study programs that are Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Product Design, and Ocean Engineering. Not only students who attend this ISDEC but also the team supervisors that are Prof. Dr. Andi Isra Mahyuddin, Dr. Agung Wibowo, Dr. Tatacipta Dirgantara, Dr. Sri Raharno, and Dr. Indria Herman Rachman.
In the competition stage, ITB students were divided into six teams and coupled with students from other universities such as UKM, CBNU, Kongju University, Woosuk University, Kwangmoon University, and Jeju National University. These teams collaborated in Capstone Design Project activities that had been done in Design Camp in Kuala Lumpur (3-8/02/14). Then, remote collaboration activities were held by using many communication media, including video conference. This program was designed to make each participant able to interact with multicultural and multidiscipline team in the process of designing till prototyping. Not only that, participants also followed Fun & Creativity Contest where each team asked to develop User Created Content (UCC) with "Campus Safety" theme in one day. This competition was also won by Global Team 1.
This project actually was international collaboration project of Innovation Center for Engineering Education (ICEE) from Korean Universities which supported by KIAT (Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology). KIAT itself is a public institution which founded by Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Korea. ITB and UKM are partner universities for the consortium ICEE of 12 Korean Universities with Hub in CBNU.
