Abstract:
In recent decades, the effects of globalization have created an extremely competitive atmosphere in all aspects of society. However, this flourishing competition must consider the harmony and balance between human needs and the environment to create a sustainable future. In this context, science and technology play important roles in enhancing the quality of researches and projects. Furthermore, innovative research combined with science and ecofriendly technology is essential for achieving sustainable development. However, sustainability and project development can be achieved through creating alternative designs and stimulating innovation. Furthermore, innovation in terms of adding value to technology development processes can play a significant role in technological contributions and outcomes.
At the close of this year, it is our utmost pleasure to welcome you to a special edition of the International Journal of Technology (IJTech) that presents the best papers from the 15th International Conference on Quality in Research (QiR) 2017, which was held in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia. The Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia organizes this biennial event, and this year it did so in collaboration with the Universitas Udayana and Politeknik Negeri Bali. QiR 2017 was held in conjunction with the International Conference on Saving Energy in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (ICSERA), the 6th International Conference on Advanced Logistics and Transport (ICALT), the 2nd International Symposium on Biomedical Engineering (ISBE), and the 3rd Biannual Meeting on Bioprocess Engineering. QiR 2017 received 977 submissions from 28 countries worldwide, and 600 participants from universities, research institutions, and industries attended the event. There were seven symposia in QiR 2017, and they included many research themes, such as current issues in engineering research based on lab works, architecture, community engagement, and industrial applications. From approximately 500 presented papers, 60 papers were selected and divided into the three books of this special edition.
In this first book, we are pleased to present 21 papers dedicated to product/project design and technology development. The readers will find various discussions regarding designs and modeling being implemented to create more effective and improved technologies in various engineering contexts.
