FKP UTeM and FKP UMP Strengthens Strategic Alliance by Co-organizing Symposium on Intelligent Manufacturing and Mechatronics 2018 (SympoSIMM 2018)
Assalamualaikum
Hi everyone and happy new year 2018!
Again, another hectic year, but I am feeling energetic, more wonderful things shall take place this year insyaAllah :)
Recently on 29th January 2018 my colleagues and I with a group of our fantastic postgraduate students went to Universiti Malaysia Pahang (Pekan Campus) to attend a conference which was co-organized by the Faculty of Manufacturing UMP and Faculty of Manufacturing UTeM. We went by bus and had loads of fun and awesome experience.
Symposium on Intelligent Manufacturing and
Mechatronics or for short SympoSIMM2018 is an annual event jointly organized by FKP UTeM
and FKP UMP. UMP is the host this year and UTeM shall become the host for 2019.
This year’s theme
emphasized on mechatronics and the world due to the calling of Industrie 4.0. For
this first installation, 120 paper submissions were received and 65 were
accepted, recording an acceptance rate of 54%. The symposium proceedings will
be published in Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering (a Scopus-indexed
series published by Springer). The keynote speech was delivered by Prof. Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar Wan Yusoff on ‘The Idea of Mechatronics’.
The symposium concluded at about 4 pm same day with happy faces on all participants. We truly appreciated the warm welcome by the UMP SympoSIMM team and kudos to them for a well organized event.
