A total of 9 students from Bisha University located in Saudi Arabia have participated in a summer school programme organized by Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) between 22^nd of August to 28^th of August 2017. This program is also a joint program between Language Academy, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The students comprised of two courses, i.e. civil and mechanical engineering. The main aim of this program was to provide UTM learning experiences to the students of Bisha University. For this, Faculty of Civil Engineering has prepared three main highlights, where the students were exposed to open-ended lab, wastewater treatment plant and mangrove. All of the three activities were not experienced by the students in their home university. The exposure was complimented with lectures given by the Associate Professors and senior lecturers of the faculty. The fundamental principles delivered were new information to these students.

For the first activity, students were introduced to hydrological cycle and how water pollutants were transported along the river in this cycle. The connection was explicitly explained. This was followed by the explanation on Malaysian Water Quality Index, an index used to classified river pollution. During the lectures, the students were actively participated making the lectures very lively.

To ensure the students have a better understanding on their lectures, they are required to do some experimental and field works.

The collected water samples were measured for chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), pH, total suspended solids, ammonical nitrogen and dissolved oxygen. While civil engineering students were busy with water sampling and experimental measurement, mechanical students were in the hydraulic laboratory running pipe friction and centrifugal pump characteristics tests. Those two tests are important for mechanical engineers to choose the suitable pump to minimize the energy usage in water, wastewater and any other industrial plants.

In the second activity, Bisha students visited Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) Sdn. Bhd. wastewater treatment plant located in Medini, Nusajaya. Here, information on the treatment technologies employed was imparted by the engineers working in IWK to the civil engineering students. Meanwhile, mechanical engineering students were explained on the pumping systems used and the current energy usage of the treatment plant.

Mangrove visit to Pulau Kukup were the last activity of this summer school program. Civil engineering students were required to observe the aquaculture activities at the surrounding area that can affect the biodiversity of the mangrove in Pulau Kukup. They were expected to propose mitigation measures in protecting the mangrove in Pulau Kukup. For mechanical engineering students, they were given the task to construct a do-it-yourself anemometer to measure the wind speed in Pulau Kukup. Following the measurement, the potential energy to be harvested was computed. They were also asked to propose the potential wind turbine location in Pulau Kukup.

Apart from academic activities, the mangrove visit has opened their eyes on the importance of environmental and biodiversity protection. This was something which they would never be able to experience in Arab Saudi.

 

Students were actively engaged with the online activity provided by Dr Shamila on Water Quality
Monitoring lecture.

The students learnt about how fish farming affect the water quality that can indirectly cause adverse impacts to the mangrove in Pulau Kukup.

The Faculty of Civil Engineering (UTM FKA) will start a collaboration with the Construction Skills Development Centre (CSDC Academy Sdn. Bhd.), a subsidiary of IPM Global Berhad. CSDC Academy Sdn. Bhd. is a training center providing professional short courses and seminar to the construction community. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is signed by both parties on 22 August 2017. The purpose of the MoU is to establish cooperative agreement in the fields of education and academic research between UTM FKA and CSDC Academy Sdn. Bhd., for a period of three years. The objective of this MoU is to formulize long-standing cooperation between the two parties, in providing professional short courses and seminar program, joint research and consultancy activities, joint organization of seminars and academic meetings, as well as exchange of academic materials and other information. The establishment of this partnership aims to offer quality training related to construction industry in Malaysia to help companies and individual to retain competitiveness in the industry. The ceremony was held at the Dato’ Yusof Abu Bakar Meeting Room (BMU) with UTM FKA was represented by Prof. Dr. Khairul Anuar bin Kassim, Dean of Faculty of Civil Engineering and Managing Director of CSDC Academy Sdn. Bhd., Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Goh Hui Hwang.

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, representing Malaysia, has won the 1st runner-up in the ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ROBOCON) 2017 which was held at Tokyo, Japan from 26-27 August 2017. A multi-disciplinary UTM team consists of thirty-five undergraduate students from four different faculties, i.e. Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE-24), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM-6), Faculty of Computing (FC-4) and Faculty of Education (FP-1). The team manager is Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Mohd Ridzuan bin Ahmad from FKE.

Founded in 2002, ABU ROBOCON, an annual robotic competition, aims to be a platform for developing autonomous robots to help humans (residential and industrial) in their daily life. The theme of the ABU ROBOCON competition is changing and set by the host country. A total of 19 teams from 18 countries were competing in the competition. The theme for this year’s event is ‘The Landing Disk’ introduced by host country Japan. Each team has to build one robot. The theme revolves around the word “asobi” (play), which is also a fundamental philosophy behind Robocon. In “asobi,” playful, unique, original show of skills is often more important than winning or losing, as everyone – friend and foe alike – can applaud and enjoy them. So, in the “asobi” spirit: we encourage playful, unique, original robot designs and strategies.

Each game will be conducted between two teams, each with one (1) robot. The game field is a rectangle divided into two sides for each team. Each side consists of a Start Zone, Throwing Area, and Loading. On the field are seven (7) spots consisting of a circular table attached to a column with varying heights and areas. Of the seven (7) spots, five (5) are placed along the center line dividing the sides, while the remaining two (2) are placed near to each side. At the start of the game, a beach ball rests on the center of all the spots. The number of discs a team can use during the game shall be fifty (50) placed at the Loading Area. After the start of the game, the team may load discs onto its robot when the robot reaches the Loading Area. The robots of both teams may throw discs at any ball on any spot to knock the balls off the spots. Scores will be counted when a team’s disc lands on a spot where its ball has been knocked off. When all the balls have been knocked off of their spot and a team successfully lands its discs on all the spots, that team reaches “APPARE!”, and is declared the winner of the game. If neither team reaches “APPARE!”, and either both use up the fifty (50) discs or the game time of three (3) minutes passes, the game shall end. The winner will be decided by who has the higher score at the said end of the game.

Malaysia team beat several strong teams during the tournament. In the quarterfinal, Malaysia team beat University of Tokyo. While in the semi-final, Malaysia team beat Thailand. In the final match, there were between Malaysia or Vietnam to fight for the victory. Malaysia team was the 1st runner-up. In all of the winning matches, Malaysia team has successfully completed the competition task, also known as “Appare”. Malaysia team showed that the “quality of UTM’s students is recognized at the international level.
