Dear Members,

Here is the link of the Dominic Hua's success in the recent SOFE National Finals in which Dominic Hua (from IMechE-UNITEN Student Chapter) had emerged as the National Champion and will be representing Malaysia for the Asia-Pacific Regional Finals in April 2009. This year's Asia-Pacific Regional Finals will be held in our beloved country, Malaysia. The previous finals were held in Australia and Hong Kong in 2008 and 2007. Details of the date and venue will be updated soon. We wish Dominic Hua the very best in carrying the 'Jalur Gemilang' and hopefully he will make the country proud. Till then, Happy New Year 2009 and let's pray for more success for UNITEN and IMechE-UNITEN Student Chapter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Season Greetings from IMechE President

Dear Colleague,

The past year has been a time of change and development for the Institution. Notable milestones have included;

* The launch of Engeneration, a membership network for school children studying engineering and a key component of our commitment to inspire the next generation
* The highest level of media coverage in the history of the Institution
* The highest number of paying events, with over 6000 seats sold in 2008
* Membership growth of 3% in 2008 (this when many other Institutions have been reducing)
* The largest awarding body for CEng, for the second year running
* International developments in India and China
* An outstanding Vision Awards Ceremony
* Increased links with key players in Government at both Westminster and Edinburgh.

2008 has also been a year of dramatic change beyond the world of engineering with the credit crisis and banking collapse causing unprecedented economic upheaval. This will impact us all in the year ahead but it has been encouraging to note the growing realisation among politicians and business leaders that the economy of the future should be based on real engineering as opposed to financial engineering.

The global challenges we face as a society will not be resolved without the expert contributions of engineers and that remains our challenge and opportunity.

May I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a peaceful and joyous Christmas season and a successful year ahead in 2009.

Best wishes

Professor William M Banks
President

'Cooling the Planet' in Parliament!

Dear members,

You will be pleased to know that the young members' 'Cooling the Planet' competition featured in a parliamentary committee enquiry on geo-engineering last Monday afternoon.

The link below will take you to a video that shows me giving evidence to the committee on behalf of the Institution and the competition came up several times during the 50 minute session; the main discussion about it being after around 30 minutes when one of the committee members asks me directly about the activity. We are having impact already, and we have only just started, so please say well done to those young members in your groups that are participating.

I am sure this is just a taster of what is to come in terms of political influence (according to our political affairs people, the competition was a key driver in the committee asking us to come forward to the oral session).

In addition I have attached a news piece about our participation in the enquiry which will be placed on the front page of the IMechE website later today.

Kind regards,
Secretariat,
IMechE UNITEN
