Ashari also said that this cooperation had actually been initiated since a year ago, but it can be realized through the MoU today.

In this MoU, the form of cooperation between Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd and ITS is the coordination through research projects that require both lecturers and students at ITS.

Ashari said, with a variety of products offered through this cooperation, it would greatly facilitate the lecturers and students in developing and completing the research. “Because all this time, students in completing their project must look for these electronic components in a variety of separate electronic stores in Indonesia, with this MoU, it will make it easier for them to fulfill the components to complete their final project,” said the professor of electrical engineering.

Not only that, as it is known, ITS itself has made many achievements in the field of electronics and robotics in the country and abroad. “ITS excels in robotics, Barunastra has just regained its gold medal at the world competition in the United States, and ITS Robot team has also just become a winner in KRI 2019,” said him.
