On 11 May 2026, a delegation of lecturers and students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) conducted an academic visit to the Lumut Power Plant to gain direct exposure to the operation of electrical power generation systems in a real industrial environment.

The visit aimed to enhance students’ understanding of the practical application of theories learned in class, particularly in the areas of power systems, energy generation, electrical system protection, as well as power plant operation and maintenance. Throughout the visit, the students were given detailed briefings on the electricity generation process, control and safety systems, and the technologies used to ensure the stability of energy supply.

In addition to the technical briefing sessions, participants also had the opportunity to visit several key sections of the power plant and interact directly with engineers and technical personnel on duty. This experience provided valuable insight into the actual industrial working environment and career opportunities within the energy sector.

The faculty would like to express its sincere appreciation to the management and staff of Lumut Power Plant for their warm hospitality and willingness to share their knowledge and experience with the students. It is hoped that programmes such as this will continue in the future to strengthen collaboration between academic institutions and industry.

A total of 50 students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), participated in the Chip-On-Wheels & TalentConnect (SEMICON Southeast Asia 2026) programme on 7 May 2026 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur.

The delegation, consisting of students from the BTS3423 Computer Architecture and BTS3453 Operating System courses, was accompanied by two lecturers, Dr. Syukran Hakim bin Norazman and Mr. Ikhwan Hafiz bin Muhamad.

Among the main highlights of the visit were industry exposure and opportunities for direct engagement with semiconductor technology industry players through talent engagement sessions and professional networking activities. Students also participated in interactive activities, attended talks by industry representatives, and explored opportunities to apply for jobs or industrial training placements at booths of leading semiconductor companies.

This programme reflects the faculty’s strategic initiative to develop competent graduates who are well-prepared to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving global industry. It is hoped that this exposure will inspire future FTKEE graduates to continue striving for excellence.

The management and staff of the Faculty of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology would like to congratulate the FTKEE staff and students on their success in winning awards at the 16th Creation, Innovation, Technology & Research Exposition (16th CITREX 2026) organized by Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah.

The afternoon session of the International CSR Programme: Global Classroom, Knowledge Sharing and Academic Collaboration continued in a more relaxed and interactive atmosphere through the Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration Opportunities programme held at the BMU, FTKEE. The programme brought together academic staff, researchers, and representatives from FTKEE research groups under the AppECE, ICE, and SuPER clusters to create opportunities for expertise sharing and international collaboration with delegates from Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), Indonesia.

The session began with a presentation by Dr. Henny Pratiwi from the International Office of UNY, who shared insights into the academic and research ecosystem at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, including student activities, academic development, and the university’s learning culture. She also highlighted potential academic and research collaboration opportunities between UNY and UMPSA, including mobility programmes, academic exchanges, and future invitations for FTKEE lecturers and associates to share their expertise with students at UNY. The session opened pathways for broader international networking opportunities between the two institutions.

The programme continued with a more in-depth research sharing session by Dr. Muhammad Luthfi Hakim entitled “Flexible Strain Sensor for Human Motion Detection.” During the session, he explained how waste-based and sustainable materials are utilised in the development of flexible strain sensors for applications in human motion detection, biosensors, and soft robotics.

Dr. Luthfi also elaborated on the sensor fabrication process, sensitivity testing, durability tests, and the use of nanomaterials to enhance the performance of the developed flexible sensors. The presentation attracted strong interest from participants due to its integration of sustainable materials, smart sensors, and modern electronic applications. The two-way discussions throughout the session were highly engaging and eye-catching, particularly among FTKEE researchers who saw significant potential for future collaborative research opportunities.

The knowledge sharing session received an encouraging response from academic staff, students, and representatives from FTKEE research groups, especially from the AppECE, ICE, and SuPER clusters. The programme not only provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange but also sparked new ideas and strategic collaboration opportunities between FTKEE and UNY researchers in the fields of smart sensors, sustainable materials, flexible electronics, and advanced engineering technologies.

The programme concluded with a certificate presentation ceremony to the UNY delegates as a token of appreciation for their contributions in making the International CSR Programme: Global Classroom, Knowledge Sharing and Academic Collaboration a success.

The event ended at approximately 4:30 PM, followed by a light tea session and informal networking between the UNY delegation and the FTKEE community before the delegates departed.
