A total of 12 students from the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (FTKEE), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), participated in an academic mobility visit to Surabaya, Indonesia, from 26th to 30th August. This visit marked FTKEE UMPSA’s debut participation in the Summer Camp program organized by the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) "Veteran" Jawa Timur. The program was sponsored by the Student Affairs and Alumni Department (JHEPA), FTKEE, as well as sponsors such as Jet Engineering Solutions Sdn. Bhd. and East House Resources Sdn. Bhd. Over the five-day, four-night program, various academic, community service, and cultural exchange activities were held.

On the first day, the program began with an opening ceremony and discussions about the projects and research to be conducted throughout the program. The second day saw UMPSA students involved in community service activities at Sekolah Dasar (SD) Al Muslim Waru, East Java, where they shared basic knowledge about Arduino technology with students aged 11 to 12, aiming to spark an interest in engineering technology from a young age. In the afternoon, UMPSA students participated in a certification session organized by Axioo Indonesia, which focused on the handling and programming of industrial mini-robots.

On the third day, visits to two major industries took place. The students visited Monster Group Sdn. Bhd., known for its AI embedded system products, and Wowrack Indonesia Sdn. Bhd., which offers cloud services. The visit continued with a tour of a Javanese batik industry in Surabaya.

The fourth day combined nature adventures, academic discussions, and cultural exchanges at the Kakek Bodo nature tourism site in Prigen, Pasuruan. During the cultural exchange session, UMPSA students showcased traditional Malay attire and introduced traditional Malaysian games. One of the highlights was the performance of Malaysia’s iconic Wau kite, which was flown in the camping area, creating a beautiful sight in the skies of Kakek Bodo.

In addition, the traditional Malaysian game batu seremban, known as bola bekel in Indonesia, was played by participants and served as a medium to strengthen ties between the students of both countries.

This academic mobility program successfully opened opportunities for UMPSA students to broaden their knowledge, establish international collaborations, and learn about the culture of their neighboring country.
