QINZHOU, CHINA – Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Kamarul Hawari Ghazali from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), was invited to serve as an ASEAN Judge for the 2026 China (Guangxi)–ASEAN “Artificial Intelligence + Emergency Management” Technology Innovation Competition, held in Qinzhou, Guangxi, China.

The competition brought together a wide range of innovations based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), drones, robotics, smart sensing, remote sensing and digital technologies for applications in disaster management, safety and emergency response.

As one of the panel of judges, Prof. Kamarul was involved in evaluating projects based on several aspects, including innovation, scenario suitability, technical strength, technology maturity and potential for real-world implementation.

His participation also provided an opportunity for knowledge sharing and further strengthened the UMPSA–China–ASEAN network, particularly in the areas of AI, intelligent systems and disaster management technologies.

Congratulations to Nurul Ain binti Jainul (VD24022), a BVE student, for her involvement as an instructor for the PTA Template Course at Kolej Vokasional (KV) Sandakan on 18 September 2026.

What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that Nurul Ain is an alumna of KV Sandakan, Sabah. Today, she returned to the institution that was once part of her educational journey — not as a student, but as an instructor sharing her knowledge and experience!

From receiving knowledge to sharing knowledge.

From being a student to becoming an inspiration.

Her involvement demonstrates that FTKEE students are not only capable of acquiring knowledge and skills, but are also confident in stepping forward to share their expertise with the community.

KUANTAN | 15 September 2026 – The Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), participated in the STEM Exhibition and Activities Programme held in conjunction with the Karnival KITA Generasi Madani 2026 at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Mat Kilau, Kuantan.

The programme, held from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., involved the participation of 22 FTKEE lecturers and two postgraduate students as facilitators in conducting various STEM-related exhibitions and activities for Form 1 to Form 5 students.

FTKEE’s participation provided students with opportunities to gain direct exposure to the applications of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through a more interactive learning environment, while also gaining a closer understanding of the programmes and areas of expertise offered by FTKEE.

The participation also served as a platform to strengthen collaboration between UMPSA and the school, while supporting ongoing efforts to enhance young people’s interest, awareness and enthusiasm towards STEM and providing them with opportunities to explore the world of engineering more closely.

PEKAN | 14 September 2026 – The Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang (UNIMUS), Indonesia, successfully organised an International Community Service Programme themed “Enhancing Students’ Numeracy Skills Through the Utilization of Numboard: An IoT-Based Smart Geoboard at Learning Centers in Malaysia” at Rumah Penyayang Tun Abdul Razak (RPTAR), Pekan, Pahang.

The programme involved 13 children residing at RPTAR, who had the opportunity to explore a more interactive approach to numeracy learning through the use of Numboard, a smart geoboard based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The participants were also given the opportunity to experience the device first-hand by completing numeracy activities in a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment.

The programme also included a visit to the fish pond site developed through the UMPSA–RPTAR collaboration, as well as interaction and knowledge-sharing sessions involving the UNIMUS delegation, UMPSA representatives, and the RPTAR community.

The programme not only provided the RPTAR children with exposure to technology and innovative learning approaches, but also strengthened the university’s social responsibility initiatives and the international collaboration between UMPSA and UNIMUS. In addition, it provided a platform for preliminary discussions on the implementation of a two-way student mobility programme in the future.
