u Interactive Seminar
The speakers of the interactive seminar will be from the management team of Oil & Gas Corporations. And students will be divided to several groups to different speakers so that they can fully get involved. Once the speakers choose the topic they want to prepare, we will be helping them to design some games/questions in order to make the students interactive with the speakers. Once all the students get involved in the seminar, they can actually learn something with high efficiency from it. The reason to choose the speakers from management team is that students should have the skills/aware on other parts of Oil & Gas Industry as well for their future career preparations.
u Leveled Technical Talk
Unlike the usual ones, several technical talks will be held in different rooms at the same time with different levels from basic to professional which can make every participant understand what the speakers try to explain.
u Uniting Night Dinner
The dinner is a good platform to exchange culture/ideas/networks for all the participants. As Oil & Gas is a global industry, so it will be helpful for students to acknowledge the environments/culture of other countries for their better future careers.
u Campus Explore
During the short tour, participants will be guided to go around UTM, and focus on visiting the laboratories of Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering.
