Medan – On October 29, 2026, the USU Faculty of Engineering attended a preparatory meeting for a workshop with Inner Mongolia Technical College of Construction, held in the Equity Meeting Room, 3rd Floor, USU Rectorate Building.

The activity was conducted as part of the collaboration between USU and Inner Mongolia Technical College of Construction to organize a workshop for the Undergraduate Program in Civil Engineering.

The meeting was attended by Prof. Dr. Eng. Himsar Ambarita, S.T., M.T. (Vice Rector for Research, Innovation, and Cooperation); Zaid Perdana Nasution, S.T., M.T., Ph.D. (Vice Dean for Research, Community Service, Cooperation, and Internationalization, Faculty of Engineering, USU); Dr. Ir.

(Lecturers of the Civil Engineering Study Program); as well as laboratory staff and educational personnel of the Civil Engineering Study Program.

The meeting agenda included preparations for the workshop and an audience with university leaders. Both agendas were discussed to align implementation requirements and coordinate among the parties involved.

These preparations are an important step in ensuring that the planned workshop has a clear implementation direction and is aligned with the context of the Undergraduate Program in Civil Engineering. The coordination forum also provided an opportunity to establish working steps before the international partner and university representatives proceed with the planned activities.

This activity aligns with SDG 17 on Partnerships for the Goals through cross-border cooperation coordination between USU and Inner Mongolia Technical College of Construction. The planned workshop also supports SDG 4 through the potential exchange of knowledge and the enhancement of academic experiences in the field of civil engineering.
