Perception of Biomedical Engineering Students' Contribution to Course Projects During Pandemic.

One of the main challenges in the team-based project assessment is to evaluate the student's individual contributions, especially when the students work remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, the student's perception of their teammates' contribution to the course project will be examined. This study will focus on assessing the soft skills aspect, such as the student's role, commitment, responsibility and awareness in a team.

Microstructure Evolution and Phase Transformation of Iron Produced from the Sustainable Carbothermic Reduction Process of High-Pressure Acid Leaching Residue.

This paper describes the microstructure evolution and phase transformation of residue from the lateritic nickel ore high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) during carbothermic reduction using palm kernel shell (PKS) charcoal as a reductant. The study consisted of thermodynamic calculations combined with analysis of reduction experiments. The thermodynamic assessment predicted that the main phases formed during the reduction process were γ-Fe metal, liquid metal, slag, and spinel, with abundance of reducing gas (CO and H) at the temperature range of 750-1500 °C.

Pervaporation Membranes for Seawater Desalination Based on Geo-rGO-TiO Nanocomposites: Part 2-Membranes Performances.

This is part 2 of the research on pervaporation membranes for seawater desalination based on Geo-rGO-TiO nanocomposite. The quality of the Geo-rGO-TiO pervaporation membranes (PV), as well as the suitability of the built pervaporation system, is thoroughly discussed. The four membranes described in detail in the first article were tested for their capabilities using the parameters turbidity, salinity, total suspended solids (TSS), and electrical conductivity (EC).

Implementation of Health Technology Assessment and Management Course in Undergraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering ITB.

The Undergraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering ITB, Indonesia, introduce the Health Technology Assessment and Management as an elective course in 2021. This course is implemented to support the World Health Assembly that urges the member states to establish national strategies in health technology assessment and management, particularly medical devices. Furthermore, it is designed to give biomedical engineering students a broader insight into their career opportunities.

Pervaporation Membranes for Seawater Desalination Based on Geo-rGO-TiO Nanocomposites. Part 1: Microstructure Properties.

This is the first of two papers about the synthesis and microstructure properties of the Geo-rGO-TiO ternary nanocomposite, which was designed to suit the criteria of a pervaporation membrane for seawater desalination. The performance and capability of Geo-rGO-TiO as a seawater desalination pervaporation membrane are described in the second paper. A geopolymer made from alkali-activated metakaolin was utilized as a binder for the rGO-TiO nanocomposite.

Implementation of Hybrid Learning in Biosignal Measurement and Instrumentation Course to Improve Student Outcomes.

The mixed-mode approach is introduced in the Biosignal Measurement and Instrumentation course to achieve student outcome. This learning scheme combines the traditional learning with project-based learning (PBL) method. The purpose of this study is to compare the self/group-, peer-, and instructor assessment in PBL using ANOVA.
