Chemical Engineering Week is an annual event organized by the Chemical Engineering Department students of Universitas Internasional Semen Indonesia (UISI) in Gresik, East Java. The event attracts participants from various regions across Indonesia. This year’s theme was “The Role of Millennials in Optimizing Local Wisdom Toward Indonesian Gold 2045.” The event was held from September 8, 2019, to February 2, 2020.

The 5th Chemical Engineering Week was divided into two types of activities: main events and sub-events. The main events included competitions such as N-Celcius, the National Scientific Writing Competition (LKTIN), Writy, and Ansys & Hysys software training. The sub-events featured competitions such as Che-Ball, B-Carity, Factory Tours, and Training Classes.

In this event, students from the Chemical Engineering Department of Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) participated in the LKTIN. Representing the 2018 class, Rohimah Salsabila, Aufa Nurul Khadijah, Intan Rahayu, and Putri Devia Cika showcased their scientific paper titled “Utilization of Soybean Hull Waste as a Healthy Snack Innovation (ChipsBites).”
Besides presenting their scientific paper, they also exhibited their product, ChipsBites, at the exhibition stand on the final day of the event. The USU Chemical Engineering students won awards for “Best Product” and “Best Stand” for their innovative work. It is hoped that in the future, USU Chemical Engineering students will continue to participate in this event and achieve even greater success.
