Will try best to post them all, I find that blogging is an awesome way to record all the important events in my life, like an online diary :) Here's a recent UTeM event, involving my faculty directly. UTeM will be sending eight students under a Double Degree Outbound and Mobility Outbound programme at HochSchule Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Art (HsH) in Germany, this coming August. Five students from the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering (FKP) will be in a one year programme and three from the faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE) will be in a semester programme, which is five months long.I am so proud of them! A news coverage in NST With the five students from the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering (FKP) who will be flying to Germany in August 2017. Good luck to them all...

Assalamualaikum With a heavy heart, our department's staffs bid farewell to the final batch of students for the Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering (Robotics & Automation) Program in FKP. FKP has been offering specialized programs for manufacturing engineering since November 2001. Now, foreseeing the nations fast-moving industrial developments and requirements, the faculty had introduced a new broad-based program: Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering in 2014. This sole program will replace all the 5 specialized programs offered before this. On 25th May 2017, all the lecturers under the Dept of Robotics and Automation in FKP were invited  to attend a farewell party organized by our students. Looking at all their faces, I felt an overwhelming feeling of pride as they have grown up so much over the last 4 years thus it is time to see them embark on their next life journey. Thank you 4BMFA for organizing the party, we are extremely proud of all of you. May you al...
