Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) received a visit from 18 students and 6 academic members from Naresuan University (NU), Thailand in Melaka recently. It has been the norm for staff and students from both universities to take turns visiting each other since the signing of the MoU in 2017. The program serves as an avenue for the delegates to expand their network and to learn different types of ongoing research at the international level. Besides, the delegates also get the chance to gain cultural experiences from the program activities.
The main highlight of the program was the workshop topics on Malaysian traditions and cultures. The participants were introduced to a variety of local and traditional games, clothing, cooking, languages, and many more. Apart from those activities, the participants were brought around for Melaka City Tour, where they learned more about Melaka as a historical city in Malaysia. Several meaningful historical places such as the A-Famosa, St. Paul Hill, Red Square, and others. Besides wandering around Melaka City, the delegates also visited Kuala Lumpur, to visit the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, Putrajaya Prime Minister Office, Dataran Merdeka, and many more. It is hoped that the programme will incite more collaboration and networking in research and education between two varsities in the future.
