A simple question sparked this project: why do ants always find their way to your drink? Instead of seeing it as a minor inconvenience, Product Design Engineering students transformed it into a structured engineering challenge.

In the Professional Communication and Engineering Presentation course led by Prof. Dr. Dra. Clara Herlina Karjo, M. Hum., students developed Anti-Ant Clawster, a smart coaster designed to improve hygiene and product stability. Through systematic analysis, material consideration, and user centered design, students produced a functional prototype grounded in real engineering thinking.

The project supports SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), reflecting how students are trained to design responsibly and sustainably.

At Product Design Engineering (PDE), students grow not only in creativity, but in analytical thinking, professional communication, and disciplined problem solving, foundations that prepare them to navigate complex technological challenges with confidence and integrity in the years ahead.
