Hopefully in the future it will continue to triumph and develop well. I hope my dream is to be able to carry out internationalization activities with our neighbors in Sarawak, if regionally maybe in several Kalimantan Provinces.” Said Mr. Slamet Widodo as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Tanjungpura University. “So once again congratulations to the PWK study program which has celebrated its 10th celebration.
