The participants will be challenged to critically solve real problems using a project based model. It becomes even more attractive because at the end of the program, all participants will have an opportunity to present their project and ideas which were developed during the course of the program in front of a wider audience.

CommTECH program is a short course program designed to facilitate and share better understanding of complex issues related with the intertwining of societal and technological problems, especially in Indonesia.

For CommTECH Camp Highlight 2018 we offer 3 courses

Sub Course A:
Exploring The Oceans : Mapping Sea Surface & Seabed Surface

Only about 5% of the world's sea floor has been mapped in some detail. Since the ocean occupies roughly 70% of the Earth's surface, this leaves approximately 65% of the Earth (excluding dry land) unexplored. That is quite a lot of Earth left to explore! In CommTECH Camp Highlight 2018, this course will take you to discuss and practice on mapping the sea surface and subsurface in Indonesia waters. The highlights in this subject consist of sea floor mapping, positioning at the sea and mapping water parameters using satellite imagery. This program is designed to suit bachelors, masters or doctoral students with or without specific knowledge in ocean mapping.

The diversity of Indonesian marine life is hard to be precisely reported, new species are still being described and many more are still unknown. In CommTECH Camp Highlight 2018, our subjects will take you to discuss and simulate the biodiversity in this archipelagic country, Indonesia.
