\section{Introduction}

This is an interim report (for the period of June 28 to September 28, 2012) on my participation in the research fellowship program related to the Hasanuddin University's New Engineering Campus Development Project (JICA Loan No. IP-541) offered to interested faculty members, arranged in a 6 (six) month visit to a university in Japan. Thanks to the help of Prof. Manabu Kano (Kyoto University), Dr. Manabu Tsunoda (JICA) and the JICE, I was accepted to visit Prof. Hiroya Seki's Process Systems Engineering Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology (TITECH). I arrived at Tokyo on June 28, 2012, settled in to stay at the TITECH's International House at Ookayama, TOKYO and met with Prof. Hiroya Seki in his laboratory at TITECH's Suzekakedai campus, YOKOHAMA at the same day.

\section{General Overview}

In 2004 our laboratory proposed to develop a large Process Control Training System consisting of several mini-plants originally created by Syntek Group, a process control specialist from Malaysia. The main goal of the development was to build an industrial training center on campus. We were very certain that such an industrial training center would open the gate to the collaboration between the academic world and the real industrial world. A set of boiler drum for temperature control is currently in the procurement process, funded by a central government's agency: the  Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Another set of air pressure and temperature control will be purchased through the Hasanuddin University's New Engineering Campus Development Project (JICA Loan No. IP-541) Package 2.

In the future, when our department moves to the new campus approximately in 2013 or 2014, our laboratory will not only be able to support the academic program of our department - the Laboratory-Based Education (LBE) program - but more than that, it will take its role as the important part of an industrial training center serving the industrial community in the surrounding area, the eastern region of Indonesia. In order to enhance our services - in terms of academics, research and public services - we are now proposing to expand our department into a much wider scope of a faculty. The proposed name of the new organization is the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics. In the future, the new faculty is planned to establish at least 4 (four) study programs, i.e. the existing Electrical Engineering and Informatic Engineering, and two additional study programs, the Computer System Engineering and the Engineering Physics (specializing in the Process Control Technology and Instrumentation) study programs, both are to be expanded from the existing Computer, Control and Electronic Sub-study Program. With this future plan bare clearly in mind, for this 6-month visiting program in Japan, I have made an intention to focus on two issues, firstly, to observe the Japanese university-industry research collaboration, and secondly, to survey the current curriculum development and research activities of some prominent Japanese universities, especially both in the fields of process control technology and instrumentation systems. The main result of this visit is a draft of the proposal to prepare for the establishment of the Engineering Physics study program within the future Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics.

Japan has a long experience with the university-industry collaboration, especially in the field of process control technology~\cite{kano1}~\cite{kano2}. The short visit to both the university and the industrial world in Japan will be very beneficial for the future of our laboratory at its location in the new campus. The main concern is about the university-industry collaboration itself, another concern is related to the LBE curriculum development of the proposed Engineering Physics study program. 

\section{Objectives}

The main goal of the 6 (six) month visit to Japan is to collect the lessons learned from the Japanese experience in the collaboration between the academic world and the real industrial world, especially in the field of process control technology. The best model of university-industry collaboration will be developed as the main outcome of the visit, which is considered as the foundation of the establishment of the future Engineering Physics study program. The secondary goal is to survey the curriculum development and research activities of the Chemical Engineering and Engineering Physics Departments in some prominent universities in Japan, where the process control technology and instrumentation is their main competency. The visit will begin and end at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Suzukakedai Campus at Yokohama, hosted by Professor Hiroya SEKI of the Process Systems Engineering Division, Chemical Resources Laboratory.	

\section{Schedule}

Tentatively, the schedule of the visit can be arranged as shown in TABLE~\ref{schedule}. The first five days will be spent for orientation and preliminary discussions, fixing the details of the 6-month visiting program planning. For the next 2 months after my arrival I am planning to stay at the Suzukakedai Campus.

\caption{The Tentative Schedule}
\begin{tabular}{|c||l|}
\hline
Day 1 to Day 5 & Orientation and preliminary discussion with the host professor at the TIT \\
\hline
June to July 2012 &  Staying and working at the TIT's Chemical Resources Laboratory \\
\hline
August to October 2012 & Visiting industrial plants, research centers, etc. in the surrounding area \\
\hline
November 2012 &  Back to the university, writing reports and papers \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{schedule}
\end{table}

From the third to the fifth month I would like to make a tour to visit the surrounding industrial world, industrial research and training centers and universities, where the university-industry collaboration on the field of process control technology and instrumentation is in progress. The final sixth month will be spent for writing reports and papers to conclude the visit program.
