In the morning, the program kicked off with a visit to TNB ILSAS. Students were taken to the Renewable Energy Centre to learn about and observe solar panels, which play a crucial role in renewable energy. Next, they moved to the switchgear workshop to delve deeper into power generation. Here, students also had the opportunity to operate the switchgear. The final stop for the visit at ILSAS was the substation, where students could get a closer look at the equipment found in substations.

In the afternoon, the visit continued to the engineering college at UNITEN. We were welcomed by the Deputy Dean of the College of Engineering, UNITEN, Assoc. Prof. Ir.
