Past Industrial Talks

Themed “Expanding Horizons”, Discovering Careers in Engineering was a two-week event comprising of a series of workshops and industrial talks organised through the collaboration of all the engineering societies in UNM. In Week 1, a Speed Networking session and three talks were held; whereas in Week 2, a Mock Interview session, two workshops as well as three industrial talks were held. Speakers included representatives from Top Glove, Duopharma, Liberasi, 3M, B.Braun, Cantilever, Turner, Keysight, Vitrox, Emery Oleochemicals, DF Automation, Gamuda, Kajang Rocks and Maxis.

The virtual industrial talk was hosted by the speaker, Ms Stella Khoo Chin Choo. Throughout the talk, she gave the audience a general outlook on the company background and about her experience while working in the flour milling industry. In addition, the roles of engineers in the industry and the internship opportunities available for the upcoming Summer break were covered as well. An intuitive Q&A session was held after the talk where the speaker engaged with the participants by answering their questions, much to the satisfaction of everyone who had attended to learn about the Flour Milling industry and its career opportunities to up and coming engineers.

IEM UNM successfully invited Mr Lee Yen Hong as a speaker from Beckhoff Automation Malaysia, a branch of the multinational Beckhoff Automation, to give a talk about potential job placements and opportunities, as well as interacting with people within the industry. Mr Lee also covered the topics on helping students identify their prospective areas of interests and gave valuable professional tips as well as sharing his first-hand experience working in the industry. A subsequent Q&A session followed, during which attendees clarified any remaining doubts they had regarding their industrial training.

The virtual joint forum was organised by Faculty of Science and Engineering and the IEM UNM Student Section. Ir. Dr Hii Ching Lik  and Prof  Mohammad Djaeni from Diponegoro University (UNDIP) moderated the forum, with panelists from both UNM and UNDIP joining in the forum. The moderators engaged with the panelists on questions related to the  impact of COVID-19 on Youth Development, and Environment Sustainability Issues  Affecting SEA Countries. The forum was then followed by a Q&A session, during which the panelists answered questions posed by the participants.
