On 10th March 2020, we have received an academic visit from the delegation of Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), Japan. The visit was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Azham Zulkharnain and Prof. Dr. Koji Fukui from the Department of Bioscience. From UTM, we have Assoc. Prof. Dr. Norhayati Abdullah (UTMi), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hirofumi Hara, Dr. Nor Ruwaida Jamian and myself.

The main objective of the visit is to discuss on the collaboration of Global Problem Based Learning (gPBL) between SIT and MJIIT. This program was initially scheduled to begin on the 2nd March – 11th March 2020, however due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, this program will be postponed to a later date.

Thank you SIT for visiting us! We are so honoured to have you in MJIIT. It was indeed a great sharing and fruitful discussion. We are looking forward to future collaboration.  We wish you have a great day, stay safe and please keep in touch!
