To date, students have been from the mechanical, civil, material, and electrical engineering areas. During the programme, KMU participants stay with the Buddies 24\/7, getting to know each other\u2019s differences and similarities through interactions while improving their communication skills and confidence level. Through the programme, participants would be able to understand, appreciate, accept and learn more about each other\u2019s culture and way of life.<\/p>\n<p>SS17 started off with UTM internships at KMU and exchange visits of the academicians.The Summer School has been actively running since 2015 when it was officially advertised 2 years ago as SS17 under the MyTree programme. Every year, 15-20 students registered to attend the programme and this year 23 KMU students have been selected out of many who had applied at their home university.
