​Science and Engineering Design Exhibition (SEDEX30) (8 – 9 August 2012) 

 

The 30th Science and Engineering Design Exhibition (SEDEX30) was successfully held from 8 – 9 August 2012 at Chancellor Hall Plaza, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, with the support from Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI).  YBhg. Datuk Dr. Zainal Abidin Hj Kasim, UTP Vice Chancellor officiated this event that served as a platform for UTP students, staff and surrounding communities to present their innovation and creative ideas.

This biannual event was organised with the following objectives:

  • To expose students’ design projects to the community of the university and personnel from PETRONAS OPUs in promoting UTP as a centre of creativity and innovation.
  • To encourage interactions between students, lecturers, exhibitors and visitors on exchanging R&D ideas, as well as questioning other opinions in creating well-rounded engineers.
  • To aspire students’ involvement in the creative and innovative activities as part of extending the innovative culture towards the surrounding community, in line with the Government’s innovation programmes.

  
The two-day event, which was held since 1997, managed to attract 199 teams with participation from various departments in UTP, along with local primary and secondary schools.  With 35 Gold, 52 Silver and 71 bronze to be won, it comprised of several award categories such as Engineering Team Project, Final Year Projects, Postgraduate Project, Open Innovation Category, Young Inventors Category and Clubs and Societies.


 

 

  
In his officiating speech, YBhg. Datuk Dr Zainal Abidin remarked the significance of SEDEX in making Malaysia an “Innovative Nation” in the future, which augurs well towards UTP's Vision to be a leader in Technology Education and Centre for Creativity and Innovation.   YBhg. Datuk Dr. Zainal Abidin hoped that SEDEX30 will continue in contributing to the university and guide the mindsets of the students to be actively involved in the arena of innovation and creativity.

 

 

 

At the closing ceremony, Prof. Ir. Dr. Ahmad Fadzil Mohamad Hani, UTP Deputy Vice Chancellor of Academic, stressed that with careers in the Science, Engineering and Technology fields getting more challenging each day, graduates need to have an extra edge to show their employers why they deserve their jobs.   According to him, SEDEX is able to provide the right guidance towards attributes that employers seek since it stresses the importance of knowledge and skills in technical and non-technical aspects.

 

 

  

Apart from the exhibition, SEDEX30 also featured fun and carnival-like activities with additional games such as Wheel of Fortune and Green Dominos, with exciting prizes ranging from souvenir gift items and gadgets to hotel and shopping vouchers.   All these activities were designed to inculcate creative and innovative thinking mind among visitors.
