Assalamualaikum Hello everyone. Just noticed that I never wrote any posts in this blog about my faculty here in UTeM. Thus, here is a post on an event organized at Fakulti Kejuruteraan Pembuatan (FKP), UTeM.  The Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering was officially established on the 22nd of June 2001 with approval of the Ministry of Education. The first course offered was Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering (Manufacturing Process) in November 2001. I have been serving my duties here as a lecturer (previously as a tutor) since October 2004. I cannot believe that 11 years had gone by :) On 9th December 2015, the students' committee at my faculty: the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) had organized an open-day at the main campus in Durian Tunggal. Take a look at the snippets and some pictures of the program which began at 8:30 am and lasted until 5:30 pm. Program line-up for FKP Day 2015 Build-a-rocket competition for kids Kids trying their rocket...

I was also given the honour to the third keynote speaker who will be speaking to the audience after Prof Dr Ahmad Fauzi (UTM) and Prof Dr M. Iqbal Saripan (UPM). I was truly excited and...
