The Malaysia Chem-E Car Competition is a prestigious event challenging university students to design prototype cars powered by chemical energy. The cars must complete tasks such as transporting a specific water load over a certain distance, hitting a ball or bowling pins, and autonomously stopping. Performance is judged based on task accuracy, design creativity, and adherence to safety, health, and environmental standards.
The ATOM Adhyareswara Team performed exceptionally in the Car Racing Category, achieving second place and outperforming 32 other university teams. They also secured seventh place in the Poster Category, demonstrating excellence in design and scientific presentation.
This achievement is a testament to the team’s hard work, dedication, and unwavering support from their mentors, alongside Universitas Brawijaya’s commitment to fostering innovation on the global stage.
“This achievement brings pride to our alma mater on the global stage. The ATOM Adhyareswara Team has proven that Indonesian students are capable of competing and innovating in creating environmentally friendly, technology-based solutions,” said the Head of the Chemical Engineering Department at UB, Ir. Moh. Sholichin, MT., Ph.D., IPU., ASEAN Eng.
