The University Science and Computer Technology (STEKOM University), on August 12th 2021 held an International Webinar with the Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering in India and the National University of Timor Lorosa'e in Timor Leste. The theme of this webinar is "Machine Learning Application For Food Engineering" which was delivered very well by Dr. Gururaj, HL ; Domingos de Sousa Freitas, S.T., M.T and Santi Widiastuti S.T, M.T.

 Machine Learning is a sub-branch of artificial intelligence (AI) which gives the system the ability to automatically learn and develop from experience without having to be programmed explicitly, said Dr. Gururaj. Meanwhile, Food engineering is a multidisciplinary branch of applied physics that combines science, microbiology and engineering knowledge for food and related industries, he added. As the first resource person, Dr. Gururaj delivered a complete explanation of the understanding of machine learning and food engineering to the challenges faced now and in the future.

On this occasion, Domingos de Sousa S.T, M.T delivered material about food technology for processing traditional alcohol as an export commodity. This material is based on research that results in process improvement systems and production quality. Representatives from STEKOM University,Santi Widiastuti S.T, M.T  delivered material on the application of artificial intelligence in the food industry. In this era of technology 4.0, we must be able to utilize technology and information as much as possible to facilitate our tasks and work, to be more effective, efficient but still of high quality, she said.

This webinar was opened by the Chancellor of the University of Computer Science and Technology, Dr. Joseph Teguh Santoso, conducted online for 2.5 hours and ran smoothly until the event was over.
