On the 26th of February 2025, Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Zamzuri b. Hamedon, as the project leader formally presented the finished work to Ustaz Farid and Ustaz Salehudin. The fabrication process of the racks was carried out by Mr. Safronizan b. Yahya and Mr. Mohd Nursyazwan b Md. Talip.

The project involved the construction of a rack with dimensions of 3 x 3 x 5 feet, made from 38 x 38 mm stainless steel. The rack will be used for storing mats at the Masjid UMPSA Pekan. The materials were provided by the mosque, while FTKPM took responsibility for the fabrication.

We would like to express our gratitude to all contributors for making this project a success. We are pleased to see the rack now in use at the mosque, fulfilling its intended purpose.

On 11 January 2025, the Faculty of Manufacturing and Mechatronic Engineering Technology (FTKPM), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), successfully organized the AI and ChatGPT for Teachers Course online.

This program is a continuation of the Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) 100³ Program and aimed to provide school teachers with exposure to the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT in education.

The hybrid course was held at SMK Tengku Afzan, Kuantan, with participation from five other schools through online platforms. Teachers who joined the course learned how to leverage AI and ChatGPT technologies to enhance teaching and learning processes, making them more interactive and efficient.

FTKPM hopes this program will benefit teachers by empowering them to deliver high-quality education and integrating advanced technologies into classrooms.

Thank you to all participants and contributors for making this program a success!

On 9th January 2025, the Faculty of Manufacturing and Mechatronic Engineering Technology (FTKPM), Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), successfully organized the STI 100³ Program at SMK Sultan Ahmad Shah, Tanah Rata. The program welcomed the participation of about 200 students divided into 40 groups.

This initiative aimed to expose students to elements of technology and engineering through engaging and interactive hands-on activities.

Highlights of the Program Modules: Rocket Launcher, Popsicle Bridge Stick, Arduino Smart Robot, Shock Absorber, Robot Coding and 3D Modelling

The program was led by Wan Hasbullah Bin Mohd Isa and supported by 17 FTKPM staff members, including academic and administrative personnel who volunteered as facilitators. Students had the opportunity to reflect on their learning experiences during a dedicated reflection session, followed by a faculty briefing. The program concluded with an official closing ceremony and the presentation of awards to participants.

This program not only aimed to foster students' interest in STEM but also provided a platform for them to develop foundational skills in technological innovation. FTKPM takes pride in the dedication of its facilitators and the strong collaboration among all parties involved in the success of this event.

Congratulations to all participants, facilitators, and organizers for the successful execution of this program. May such initiatives continue to inspire and benefit the younger generation in exploring the world of technology.
