IRID’18 | Innovative Research and Industrial Dialogue 2018: One Day Research Event Hosted by Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) and FKP, UTeM

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone

18th July 2018 marked an important day for the postgraduates and young researchers in UTeM as they get to present their poster and publish their extended abstracts in IRID'18.

IRID'18 is the second installment of the research event which is proudly organized by the Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) and FKP UTeM.

All accepted 2 Pages Extended Abstracts were compiled into IRID'18 Proceedings e-book with ISBN number. The e-book is now available online via Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) website at http://amc.utem.edu.my and later will be indexed by Thomson Reuters (ISI).

IRID aims to offer a unique platform for researchers, engineers and post-graduate students, especially in the field of engineering and technology to present their research findings, establish a mutual knowledge transfer and networking. This year we have received a total of 157 papers and 133 were accepted. Though majority of the papers are from UTeM, we are truly delighted to receive papers from Infineon, UTM, UMP, UMS, UTHM, KKTM, Politeknik Ungku Omar, UniSEL and MMU.

This year’s theme for IRID’18 is “Bridging University and Industries through Research”. Consequently, we are proud to receive support and sponsorships from Control Therm Sdn Bhd, EduTech Supply and Services, MAWEA Industries Sdn Bhd, Simwork Solutions Sdn Bhd. and UTeMASA. I have always been a strong believer in close partnerships between UTeM and the industry and IRID’18 is a splendid platform for networking and collaborations to bloom.

Other than the poster presentation which began in the morning, IRID  programme also encompassed an industrial research sharing session with distinguished panels:
Dr. Se Sian Meng (Technical Manager, San Miguel Yamamura Plastic Films Sdn. Bhd.)
Mr. R. Parameshwaran Rasiah (Project Manager, Infineon Technology Asia Pacific)
Mr. Miaoan Wang (Manager Metrology Solutions/Product Manager, Wenzel Measuring Machines (Shanghai)) 
Ir. Ajat Sudrajat (Lecturer, Universitas Nasional Jakarta)


Later in the afternoon, we has an industrial dialogue with panels from PROTON, PETRONAS and INFINEON Melaka. They were Mr. Shamshulizam bin Dahman (Staff Engineer and Group Leader for Exterior Group, PROTON), Mrs. Azura binti Azahar (Principal Engineer, Malaysian Refining Company Sdn Bhd (MRCSB)) and Ms Loo Guan Ki (Director of Factory Integration, Infineon (Melaka) Sdn. Bhd.)
