21 final year students from SRM University Andhra Pradesh (SRM University-AP) India participated in the UTP Familiarisation Programme which began on 20 June 2022.
Organised jointly by UTP Centre for Student Development (CSD) and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EE) Department, the five-day programme saw SRM University-AP students enrolled in two non-credited courses - Introduction to Technical Reporting & Latex Scripting and Data Analysis with R Statistics.
They also participated in on and off campus activities such as campus tour, cultural exchange, recreational activities as well as educational trips to Kuala Lumpur and PETRONAS Twin Towers. The students were accompanied by Assistant Professor at SRM University-AP Dr Sunil Chinnadurai.
This is the first of three batches of SRM University-AP students scheduled to participate in the familiarisation programme.
The familiarisation programme aims to provide insights to prospective students about Malaysia and UTP. They will be introduced to UTP facilities, programmes offered, research expertise and campus surroundings, where there is a potential for the students to pursue their postgraduate study in UTP based on their experience in Malaysia.
CSD wishes to thank our partner SRM University-AP for entrusting UTP to provide its students with a global experience by participating in this programme.
