On 21st Bhadra 2081, Khwopa Engineering College held an extensive experience-sharing program, showcasing the college's leadership and distinguished faculty members who recently participated in international training programs. The event was presided over by Principal Sujan Maka, Vice Principal Dr. Subeg Man Bijukchhen, and Vice Principal Er. Ratna Shova Prajapati of Khwopa College of Engineering, highlighting the institution's dedication to ongoing learning and fostering international collaboration.

The program began with Dr. Sarbagya Buddhacharya, who shared his experiences from the 13th CanSat/CubeSat Leader Training Program (CLTP13) held in Japan from August 19-29, 2024. Organized by the University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC) at Nihon University, Chiba, Japan, the CLTP13 brought together 10 participants from 7 countries, including Nepal, to explore the development, basic structure, and functionality of CanSat/CubeSat satellites. Dr. Buddhacharya highlighted the three phases of the training—Hands-on training, Mission Design & Implementation, and Teaching Practice—with a special focus on Hepta-Sat, a key component of the training led by Dr. Masahiko Yamazaki, Hepta-Sat creator and Associate Professor at Nihon University.

Dr. Buddhacharya emphasized how the knowledge and skills acquired during the training will be instrumental in advancing student projects at Khwopa Engineering College, particularly in the antenna lab. He shared his vision of establishing a ground station antenna at the college, inspired by the hands-on experience gained during the program. He also expressed his commitment to disseminating the acquired knowledge among fellow faculty members and students to enhance the college’s academic offerings.

Following Dr. Buddhacharya’s presentation, Ar. Libash Phaiju, Head of the Postgraduate Department of Urban Design and Conservation, shared her experiences from her participation in the "Training Course on Intelligent Construction of Assembled Buildings for Nepal" held in China. Her training included visits to universities, factories, and heritage sites in Tibet and other cities, providing valuable insights into advanced construction techniques and heritage conservation practices. Ar. Phaiju discussed how these experiences will be integrated into the college’s curriculum, particularly in the Urban Design and Conservation program, to enrich the educational experiences of students and enhance practical knowledge.

Vice Principal Dr. Subeg Man Bijukchhen also shared his reflections on his visit to Tibet, adding further depth to the discussions on international exposure and its impact on the academic environment at Khwopa Engineering College.

Principal Sujan Maka concluded the event by reiterating the college’s unwavering support for faculty members seeking international training and collaboration opportunities. He emphasized that such experiences are crucial for the growth and development of the college and play a significant role in enhancing the quality of education and research for the benefit of students and the broader community.
