YMS-IMechE Fellowship Evening

On the 30^th 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.
