BEIJING, 8 January 2025 – Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) marked a new milestone when the first cohort of 45 graduates from the UMPSA-Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU) collaboration programme completed their studies in Railway Engineering.

Out of the total, ten students graduated in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 20 in Mechanical Engineering, and 15 in Civil Engineering.

With the graduation of these pioneer UMPSA-BJTU students, Malaysia is now prepared to propel the rail industry with a highly skilled local workforce capable of supporting the development of the rail sector both domestically and internationally.

UMPSA is the first university in Malaysia to offer a dual degree programme, allowing students to study for two years at UMPSA before continuing for two and a half years at BJTU in China.

According to Professor Ts. Dr Aida Mustapha, who is acting as the Vice-Chancellor of UMPSA, this programme successfully adopted a work-based learning (WBL) approach that is industry-oriented and offers students industrial experience in China.

“This achievement is a significant step toward producing skilled workers to support the development of Malaysia’s rail sector, including the mega project East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), expected to commence operations in 2026.

“UMPSA deeply appreciates the support from the Public Service Department (JPA), the Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia, and our collaboration with BJTU.

“This dual degree programme opens a new chapter in the partnership between UMPSA and BJTU, strengthening strategic collaboration and expanding opportunities in research and academic development for both universities,” she said.

She also added that the growth of the manufacturing and industrial sectors in Malaysia currently requires more experts and skilled professionals in various technological fields.

“Furthermore, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is also seen as a catalyst for the national education system,” she added.

Since its introduction in 2021, a total of 102 students have participated in this programme, focusing on developing expertise related to rail technology.

Pada 16 Januari 2025, Makmal Latihan Kejuruteraan menerima kunjungan Panel Penilai Luar yang bertujuan menilai kelengkapan bengkel dan kemudahan latihan bagi program SBEE (Separuh Masa) dan BEL. Lawatan ini penting untuk memastikan fasiliti yang disediakan memenuhi piawaian akademik serta keperluan semasa industri. Panel Penilai memberikan perhatian khusus kepada persekitaran kerja makmal yang teratur, bersih, dan kondusif. Persekitaran sebegini bukan sahaja mencerminkan komitmen terhadap pengajaran berkualiti tinggi tetapi juga menyokong keberkesanan pembelajaran dalam kalangan pelajar.

Semasa lawatan, berlangsung diskusi mendalam antara Panel Penilai dan pensyarah kejuruteraan. Perbincangan tersebut memberi tumpuan kepada tiga aspek utama: kelengkapan makmal, modul pengajaran, dan kesesuaian fasiliti dengan keperluan industri. Panel meninjau pelbagai kemudahan teknikal yang digunakan untuk latihan praktikal, memastikan peralatan tersebut selaras dengan perkembangan terkini dalam sektor tenaga, elektronik, dan automasi. Pensyarah turut menerangkan struktur modul pengajaran yang direka untuk menggabungkan teori dengan aplikasi praktikal, selain mempertimbangkan cadangan panel untuk menambah elemen pembelajaran berasaskan projek (PBL) bagi meningkatkan kreativiti dan kemahiran menyelesaikan masalah.

Panel turut menilai kesesuaian fasiliti makmal dengan keperluan industri semasa. Mereka menekankan pentingnya ruang latihan yang mampu menyokong pembangunan kemahiran pelajar, seperti pengendalian mesin moden, pemprograman sistem automasi, dan simulasi teknologi hijau. Secara keseluruhan, maklum balas yang diberikan sangat positif, dengan keyakinan bahawa program SBEE dan BEL mampu melahirkan graduan yang berdaya saing dalam industri. Bagaimanapun, beberapa cadangan penambahbaikan turut dikemukakan, termasuk memperkukuh pendedahan kepada teknologi baharu seperti kecerdasan buatan (AI) dan Internet Pelbagai Benda (IoT), meningkatkan kolaborasi projek bersama industri, dan menambah baik dokumentasi proses pemantauan keselamatan di bengkel.

Lawatan ini bukan sahaja menjadi sesi penilaian tetapi juga peluang memperkukuh komitmen fakulti terhadap kecemerlangan akademik dan penyediaan fasiliti bertaraf dunia. Panel Penilai menyatakan keyakinan mereka terhadap usaha ini dan berharap ia dapat diteruskan serta diperkasakan pada masa hadapan, sejajar dengan perubahan pantas dalam landskap industri.

16 Jan 2025- Terima kasih kepada barisan Panel Penilai Luar iaitu Profesor Ir. Dr. Ahmad Farid Abidin @ Bharun dan Prof Madya Ir. Ts. Dr. Siti Noraini Sulaiman atas kesudian memenuhi undangan harini.

Antara objektif penilaian adalah untuk memastikan program memenuhi piawaian akademik dan keperluan industri, menyediakan laluan akademik berkualiti tinggi untuk pelajar dan pekerja separa masa dan emastikan graduan dilengkapi dengan ilmu dan kemahiran relevan untuk menghadapi cabaran industri kejuruteraan.

Harapan kami agar penilaian ini dapat memperkukuh kurikulum, meningkatkan kualiti pembelajaran, dan membuka lebih banyak peluang kejayaan kepada pelajar kita.
