The Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University (Undip), recently successfully held the Electro Tech Summer Institute (ETSI) 2025 international event for a full week, which took place from October 19 to 26, 2025. This prestigious event was specifically designed to enrich the knowledge and skills of participants, both domestic and international, regarding the latest developments in the field of electrical engineering, particularly those highly relevant to efforts to achieve sustainable development.
ETSI 2025 presented a comprehensive combination of educational and exploratory activities. Starting with in-depth lectures delivered by leading experts, participants were presented with global insights. One of the main highlights was the SDGs Lecture Session, presented by Dr. Dessy Ariyanti, Ph.D. from Undip. In her session, themed “Powering a Sustainable Future: The Role of Energy Tech in Achieving the SDGs,” she thoroughly discussed the crucial role of energy technology in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, an international perspective was presented by Dr. Nur Nabila Mohamed from Malaysia, who led the Cultural Session on Malaysian Electrical Engineering Innovation and the application of the Internet of Things (IoT). Complementing the academic sessions, Prof. Dr. Ir. Iwan Setiawan, S.T., M.T. from Undip focused his discussion on power control aspects, smart grid systems, and an in-depth discussion of DC microgrid systems.
To bridge theoretical understanding with field practice, ETSI 2025 participants were included in several highly relevant industrial visits and practicums. They had the opportunity to visit Telkomsel, witnessing firsthand the innovations and operations of one of Indonesia’s telecommunications giants. Another valuable experience was a Company Visit to PLN UPDL Semarang, where participants not only learned about the profile and role of PT PLN (Persero) UPDL Semarang in the national electricity system, but also interacted directly with equipment at the Simulator Substation UPDL Semarang, providing practical understanding of the high-voltage environment. The technical aspect was also enriched through a Robotics Lab Visit to Undip’s robotics and integration laboratories.
The entire series of ETSI 2025 activities demonstrates the strong commitment of the Undip Department of Electrical Engineering in providing a global learning platform and exploring cutting-edge technology. Through a combination of substantive lectures, informative industrial visits, and practical experiences, the event successfully provided participants with comprehensive insights into future trends in electrical engineering while strengthening international academic collaboration, a key driver of sustainable innovation.
