During the peak of the 79^th Hari Pendidikan Tinggi Teknik (HPTT) celebration last February, the Department of Architecture and Planning (DTAP) achieved a milestone by winning third place in the Jagoan Kompos Competition. Composting organic waste, such as fallen leaves and food scraps, is a simple, practical, and eco-friendly method to support responsible waste management. It helps prevent bad odors, reduces the risk of disease, and maintains a clean and pleasant environment. Through this competition, the Faculty of Engineering aims to inspire departments to actively contribute to the Zero Garbage Campaign. This aligns perfectly with this year’s HPTT theme, ‘The Role of Engineering Science in Responding to Global Climate Change and Creating a Quality and Sustainable Environment,’ addressing SDGs 3, 11, and 13. read more
