On the 11th of September 2009, the IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter collaborated with the Society of Ingénieurs (SIR), UNITEN IET Student Chapter, UNITEN ICE Student Chapter and the Engineering Society (ENGSOC) of Multimedia University (MMU) to organize a day filled of activities where ENGSOC visited UNITEN. The objectives of the event were to build friendship between the different engineering societies of UNITEN and MMU, and to have a discussion on different types of activities which have been and could be organized by all the engineering societies.
During this event, there were twenty one participants from MMU and twenty participants from UNITEN. The participants of ENGSOC arrived early on that day at 10.30 a.m. instead of the estimated time of arrival of 11.00 a.m. Once they arrived, they were taken around the campus in the bus for tour of the UNITEN Putrajaya campus. Where, the different facilities and colleges were shown to them. They were pretty impressed with the facilities and the size of UNITEN.
After that, we had the tour of the various labs of the College of Engineering. During this activity, the participants were broken into four groups consisting of both UNITEN and MMU participants. The UNITEN participants acted as guides in this activity. While visiting the labs, some of the experiments were also explained by the UNITEN students. This lasted till about 12.50 p.m. where we broke for lunch and our Muslim friends went off for their Friday prayers.
At 2.00 p.m. everybody gathered in the designated room which was BM-0-010 in the College of Engineering to continue the program flow. This was when the indoor activities started. The first thing that went on was the welcoming speeches by various representatives of the different engineering societies. Next, there were the ice breaking games. There were two games played; one was organized by the event committee of UNITEN and another was organized by the event committee of MMU. From these games we got to know each other better and at the same time had a good time.
The next indoor activity was the presentation of the various engineering societies which were present on that day. Each engineering society presented their past and upcoming activities with the aid of power point slides and videos. It was a good session where we were able to gain new ideas on what activities to organize in the future as we learnt what activities ENGSOC had previously organized such as the Auto Show. The presentations dragged on longer as expected and at the end of it we were short on time so we did not have the opportunity to have the discussions.
The event was officially over at 5.00 p.m. at which after we had the photography session. Also while waiting for the MMU’s bus to arrive, we mingled more and got to know each other even better.
In short, the event was a success with all of us from the different engineering societies being able to get together and know each other better. Other than that, we were able to gain new ideas on what types of activities which we could possibly organize in the future.
