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.)

The colorful event ended with the prize giving ceremony to ten best posters. Here are some photos from the event:

What is a hooding ceremony?

This term always come to my attention and 'pops out' during the UiTM convocation ceremony. Yesterday I saw a post on the hooding ceremony (again) when my other half was browsing through IPSis UiTM's FB page. IPSis wrote that 52 PhD graduates had successfully completed their studies in UiTM and will receive their scroll in the 81st convocation ceremony.

It is simply a ceremony held for students graduating with a master’s or PhD degree. The placing of the hood signifies the passage from student to 'master's' or ‘PhD'.

EMC 311 MECHATRONICS: PROJECT EVALUATION DAY ON 9TH JULY 2024

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone Time seems to slip away when you're knee-deep in excitement. It's not that the clock ticks faster, but you're so engrossed that hours feel like minutes. Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday that the semester kicked off with so much promise. We've hit Week 16—the final stretch for undergraduate students at USM this semester. For those in the EMC 311 Mechatronics course, this week was all about the ultimate showdown: the evaluation of their mobile robot projects, which make up a cool 10% of their total grade. Picture this: robots zipping around, tackling tasks, detecting obstacles, and following lines like tiny mechanical superheroes. The project isn't just about grades; it's a chance for students to flex their mechanical, programming, and problem-solving muscles in a hands-on, team-driven environment. Since day one, these future tech wizards have been split into 40 groups, working week by week to piece together their ro...
