IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter Mission & Vision

Our Mission:
We are committed to offer a huge variety of opportunities to IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter members and to encourage and support their involvement with Mechanical Engineering. Participation in engineering related events can often work developing competencies through:
  • Communicataion
  • Management and Leadership
  • Commitment to the Profession
In addition to this, there are the normal benefits of sharing best practice, gaining valuable experience and transferable skills and building on your Continual Professional Development.

Our Vision:
Improving the owrld through engineering
  • Developing Professional Engineers
  • Inspiring the Next Generation
Purpose
  • To lead and promote professional engineering

Cooling the Planet Competition

A team of students from the University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) represented Malaysia for the ‘Cooling the Planet’ competition final. This event took place at the IMeche‘s headquarters in London on the 5th March 2009. UNITEN team has made Malaysia and UNITEN proud by advancing into the final three teams in the mitigation category and was the only team outside UK who qualified the overall final of 6 teams.

The main objective of ‘Cooling the Planet’ competition are to find alternative solutions in reducing greenhouse gas levels and maintain the heat balance where global warming is a real threat in future. Teams of young engineers from around the world took part and presented practicable “geo-engineering” and “mitigation” solutions.

UNITEN’s team, comprising Dominic Hua Shi Hao (Leader), Lim See Beng, Ghokulesh Satkuna Nasan and Tan Pong Seng have made their presentation titled “Carbon capture and storage (CCS).” They did a great job providing solution in wide scope of context.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that reduces the amount of CO2reaching the atmosphere by capturing the gas at the point of emission and transporting it to a suitable underground storage location (for example depleted oil and gas reservoirs) where it is sequestered permanently. Since the use of fossil fuels for power generation is widely regarded as inevitable for the foreseeable future, CCS technology is seen by many as offering a potentially significant contribution to mitigation.

Entry from Planet AECOM based at Faber Maunsell in London, UK won the ‘mitigation’ category and overall winner competition winner.
