FTKPM Students Begin One-Year Work-Based Learning (WBL) Placement in the Industry

 

Pekan, 7 September 2024 – A milestone was marked last week as 28 students from the Bachelor of Mechatronics (Robotics) and Bachelor of Manufacturing (Industrial Automation) Engineering Technology programs began their one-year Work-Based Learning (WBL) placement in the industry.

This WBL program provides a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in the industry while allowing companies to assess the talent pool for potential permanent recruitment. It bridges academic learning with real-world applications, ensuring students are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to excel in their respective fields.

The faculty extends its appreciation to all the industrial partners that are supporting this initiative, including:

  • ALPS ALPINE
  • Besi APac (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd
  • Bosch Malaysia
  • Carigali-PTTEPI Operating Company Sdn Bhd
  • Continental
  • EAST WEST Automation Technologies Private Limited
  • Fourier
  • Kärcher Malaysia
  • KUKA
  • MITS Solutions Asia
  • Robopreneur Sdn Bhd
  • Smith+Nephew
  • TT Vision Technologies
  • Wiwynn
  • Move Robotic Sdn. Bhd.
  • TT Electronics plc

We wish the very best to our students as they embark on this invaluable journey of learning and growth.

Industries interested in exploring this opportunity are encouraged to reach out to the faculty’s WBL coordinators:

UMP-Iwate Virtual Webinar 2022 held on 22nd September 2022 organised by researchers and postgraduates from Faculty Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) using google-meet online platform. It was a virtual meeting tool involved of 20 postgraduate students from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (Malaysia) and Iwate University (Japan). The program advised by Professor Ir. Dr. Ahmad Razlan Bin Yusoff said that this program as kick start after signed Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) and Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA) between universities for 2020 to 2025. Since 2009, intercountry webinar was one of the alternatives that allowed postgraduates to connect among them to gain more knowledge in research embarked in the universities at international level.

Professor Ir. Dr. Ahmad Razlan bin Yusoff, as Program Director reported that this event provided postgraduates of both universities an international experience in solving research-related problems during the webinar colloquium 2022. Such a colloquium was one of the activities that could open the opportunities for the postgraduates from different universities to share their ideas in solving research problems. This initiative was a platform for the postgraduates to generate creative and innovative ideas in each activity, besides strengthening their mental capabilities and accomplish intercultural and international competitive passion. It was also to spark intelligent ideas for postgraduates to conduct international research collaboration as summary for opening speech from Assoc. Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Faiz bin Mohd Turan (Dean of FTKPM, UMP) and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Uchidate Michimasa (Iwate University, Japan).

This event was allowing researchers and postgraduates from different universities and countries to be connected under one academic program. Both 8 participants from Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia and 12 participants from Iwate University from Japan assisted on improving their English speaking and presentation skills. It was motivating the participants to share their knowledge and open for new idea. Hopefully, a day colloquium could give exposure to the participants of manufacturing process designs and material engineering in an international level.
