UTM Summer School – Malaysia Heritage Walks & Town Trails 2018 – National University Of Civil Engineering (NUCE)
JOHOR BAHRU, 13 Februari 2018 – Seramai 25 orang peserta yang terdiri dari wakil program Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah, Fakulti Alam Bina UTM (7 pelajar dan 1 pensyarah pengiring) dan Faculty of Architecture and Planning (FAP), National University of Civil Engineering (NUCE) dari Hanoi, Vietnam (15 pelajar dan 2 pensyarah pengiring) telah telah menyertai program UTM Summer School–Malaysia Heritage Walks & Town Trails2018. Program UTM Summer School anjuran Fakulti Alam Bina UTM (FAB UTM) melalui Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah (JPBW) ini merupakan edisi kali ke-5 bersama pihak NUCE dan yang pertama selepas Perjanjian Persefahaman (MoU) ditandatangani pada Oktober 2017 antara kedua-dua institusi pengajian.
Program ini diketuai oleh Dr. Noor Aimran Samsudin, Pensyarah Kanan Jabatan Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah UTM selaku pengarah program. Matlamat utama program ini adalah untuk memperkenalkan usaha pemeliharaan bandar dari perspektif bidang perancangan bandar selain memupuk perasaan kecintaan terhadap nilai warisan tempatan dalam konteks alam bina melalui lawatan teknikal ke beberapa bandar warisan dan tapak bersejarah terpilih seperti Bandar Maharani Bandar Diraja dan Tapak Warisan Dunia UNESCO Bandaraya Melaka Bersejarah selain ke Putrajaya dan Kuala Lumpur.

Saturday Night Lecture Series
Her Majesty Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Raja Zarith Sofiah Binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah, Permaisuri Johor and the Chancellor of UTM has kindly grace Saturday Night Lecture series organised by CASIS, Centre for Advanced Studies on Islam, Science and Civilisation, a centre of excellence in UTM, in collaboration with Yayasan Raja Zarith Sofiah, Yayasan Ta’dib and HAKIM which was organised on 10 February 2018 at UTM Kuala Lumpur.
Saturday Night Lecture series started almost 30 years ago at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC), founded and directed by YM Tan Sri Prof. Dr. Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, a world renowned Malay thinker and reformer. The Lecture was his deliberation of the great ideas contained in many of his books which were read by contemporary Muslim scholars all over the world. The lecture series at ISTAC was abruptly suspended in 2002 due to certain unfortunate circumstances and it was only resumed in 2012 when Tan Sri al-Attas was appointed as distinguished visiting professor of CASIS UTM. He then delivered the lecture series for a period of 3 years.
Saturday Night Lecture series is about honouring a great scholar of Islam. It is a celebration of knowledge and scholarship. Saturday Night Lecture series reflects the culture of knowledge that is lacking in many parts of the Muslim World. It brings people together, from all walks of life, not only for the sake of personal quest for beneficial knowledge but also to find answers and solutions to the contemporary problems facing the ummah.
Saturday Night Lecture series will be recorded in history, perhaps, as the longest lecture series ever held in the Malay World, which has received tremendous support from various interested and learned parties; its audience includes academics, diplomats, politicians, administrators, public servants, professionals, educators activists and students alike regardless of age.
The lectures discuss fundamental elements constituting the worldview of Islam, epistemic frameworks, the civilisational challenges confronting the ummah internally and externally, and provide intellectual means and solutions on how to address them.

UTM students in OGIP 2018
There is always more to university life than mere academic achievements. On 25th Jan 2018, Derek Chung Zhong Kang, a petroleum engineering student from Society of Petroleum Engineers UTM Student emerged as first runner up in the Oil and Gas Intellectual Parade (OGIP) Paper Competition, which took place in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
As a fourth year student having to juggle between studies and final year project, the overwhelming pressure, however, did not stop him from participating in international competitions and bringing glory to SPE-UTM SC.
Alongside Derek were another 8 second year students who participated in the Smart Competition and Oil Rig Design Competition of the same prestigious event. They are the perfect portrayal of passionate young talents and we are truly proud of them.
