Improving the world through engineering
First and foremost, please like our page on Facebook to continue receiving updates on current events and activities:
Next on, let's see what IMechE Uniten has coming up and also some activities that we have done recently!
Speak Out For Engineering
Want to win £300? Read on.
Speak Out For Engineering (SOFE) competition is back this year. Stand a chance to win £300 1st prize and a trip overseas & £200 second prize by presenting an idea, on a stage.
Do you see how people like Steve Jobs make their money? They can sell their ideas, innovations, technology or even simple belief, to a group of people who are not in the same field or background. To present an idea effectively, will make all the difference as to how you will succeed.
SOFE is a stage to where you are encouraged to speak to a non technical group of people on your technical ideas as a Mechanical Engineer. A good engineer is a speaking engineer. If you can speak, chances are, you'll go further than others who don't talk as effectively.

SOFE is basically a technical presentation where your audience will be assumed to be of a non-technical background audience. How do you get common John and Janes to understand your complex engineering idea? That is how you will be judged on. The ability to convey ideas and techniques so that everyone can understand and appreciate your ideas.
Qualifying round will be held in Uniten as follows:
Date: 11th November 2011
Time: 2.30pm
Venue: Confirmed participants will be notified via email and phone.
Please grab this opportunity to see yourself going further than what you would normally see yourself going. Take this chance, make a difference. Be different.

MTU Services (M) Sdn. Bhd Mechanical Workshop
This is a visit to MTU Services Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. in Manjung, Perak where participants will participate in a day's worth of workshop on the field of Mechanical. There are a lot to learn and a lot to miss should you have not already register for the trip!
Details are as follows:
Date: 21st October 2011
Departing time: 7am from Uniten Library
Venue: MTU Services (M) Sdn. Bhd., Manjung, Perak
Registration are however closed now but stay tuned for more updates later on! We have more visits for you to join in!
Innopreneur Talk by Robest Yong
Want to know how you can take something ordinary and make it extraordinary?
Robest Yong is an inventor who has made a living through creating creative products for the consumer market not only in Malaysia but also around the world. Learn how he changed a dish dryer into a successful business idea.
This talk however was done on the 19th October 2011 at 2-3pm in COIT, Uniten. There will be more talks coming up soon so please don't shy away from these talks as an hour or two at most could change the way you see your future, or at least give an idea of how you can make it better!
NDT Lab Visit
To students who are planning to have an outlook of how Non Destructive Testing is before opting for the elective course for their final year in Mechanical Engineering, and also for everyone else who just simply wants to learn, we will be having a visit to an NDT lab soon.
This visit will expose you to the equipment of an NDT as well as the methods often practiced by NDT specialists to test the integrity of structures.
Most of everyone have already or at least are currently undergoing the Engineering Materials course. You have all learnt about cracks and structural failures. Now see how you can detect these cracks and failures before they even become apparent to the human eye! An NDT is performed everytime a repair or manufacturing work is done to ensure that the structure in fabrication is in perfect condition with no initiation of failures to avoid unwanted incidents in the future. It is as natural to breathing as it is a process in fabrication.
Date and time will be notified soon once we have the confirmed details regarding the visit but please don't miss this chance as this trip is free for all IMechE members!
Thats all for now! There will be more updates and activities soon! But please do visit and 'Like' our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/imeche. uniten or our blogspot at www.imeche-uniten.blogspot. com where you will be able to follow up on our activities and updates much more practically. Should you have any questions or inquiries regarding this or other events, or anything at all, you can contact me at 017 278 0060 or email wan.djawad@gmail.com.

YMS-IMechE Fellowship Evening
On the 30th of September 2011, after months of planning, Uniten IMechE Student Chapter with the support and guidance from the Young Members Section of the IMechE Malaysia has organized a social gathering aptly named the YMS-IMechE Fellowship Evening, held at the prestigious Kota Permai Golf and Country Club.
The event aimed at exposing the students to the broad possibilities that Mechanical Engineering has to offer and how they can contribute to their professional development as well as to the Institution once they have graduated. It is a shame that young engineers are lost after graduation with not a clear picture and idea of how they can enrich their engineering lives, working in dead end jobs and sometimes changing course altogether, wasting the 5 years of their education just because of the lack of exposure on how they can make it better, and greater.
This event was held so that these students can interact with one another from different universities and hopefully in the near future, collaborate in achieving something beneficial to them and the members of the Institution in this country. We hope to see more activities and programs involving the students from all student chapters in Malaysia and not only enclosed to one university at a time.
We were honored to have been presented with the presence of Prof. Dr. Teoh Kok Soo, the Chairman of IMechE Malaysia as well as be able to present the Young Member of The Year 2011 Award to Dr. Rajkumar Durairaj during the evening. We hope that in the future, there will be more achievements of the like from our very own Malaysian Chapter, and this, hopefully, will mark the beginning of such achievement.
