Department of Food Engineering ITB in collaboration with PT Lautan Natural Krimerindo (LNK) held a virtual industrial visit on Wednesday, June 3, 2021. This event was attended by around 130 students from Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Bioenergy Engineering and Kemurgi Departments along with several lecturer staff .
The purpose of this event is to provide students with an overview of the vegetable creamer processing industry, starting from raw materials, production, packaging, waste treatment utilities, quality assurance, to the resulting product. PT LNK also presented product branding tips for consumers and job opportunities for process graduates in this industry.
Even though it was conducted online, the students participating in the event seemed enthusiastic in asking various questions. Moreover, the event organizers held a quiz with prizes of various products produced by PT LNK. This event is the first virtual industry visit because visits which are usually routinely carried out every year directly to the industry have to be stopped due to the pandemic.
In his thanks, Dr. M.T.A Penia Kresnowati as the head of the ITB Food Engineering study program hopes that there will be more collaboration between the study program and PT LNK in the future. In this June, PT LNK will accept 2 Food Engineering students who carry out practical work for 3 months. Department of Food Engineering ITB would like to thank PT LNK for organizing this virtual industry visit and sharing a lot of knowledge that hopefully can inspire students about the world of work.
