Fostering Digital Excellence: MDEC and UMP’s Collaboration for Premier Tech Education
In a significant stride towards advancing Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), led by Nik visited Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) as part of their partnership under the Digital Premier Tech Institute initiative. The visit brought together En Nik Hishamuddin, Senior Manager, Talent & Capability (Tertiary) of MDEC, Dr Nurul Hazlina Noordin, Assistant Vice Chancellor Universiti Malaysia Pahang and Dr Adzhar Kamaludin, the esteemed Dean of the Faculty of Computing at UMP, to explore avenues for collaboration and shape the future of tech education.
Embracing Digital Transformation in Education (100 words): As the digital landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, it is crucial for educational institutions to equip students with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital era. Recognizing this need, MDEC has been championing initiatives to nurture Premier Tech Institutes across Malaysia. UMP, with its strong focus on technology and engineering, has emerged as a key partner in this pursuit, driven by the leadership of Dr Adzhar and his team.
During the visit, we had engaged in fruitful discussions to explore potential areas of collaboration. Their shared vision centered around enhancing the quality of tech education, promoting industry-relevant skills, and preparing students for the digital job market. This partnership seeks to bridge the gap between academia and industry, ensuring graduates possess the competencies required to excel in the digital economy.
MDEC, with its extensive network and industry expertise, will play a crucial role in supporting UMP’s efforts to create a tech-enabled learning environment. The collaboration aims to establish industry-driven curriculum enhancements, facilitate internships and industrial training opportunities, and foster research and development initiatives aligned with industry needs. By leveraging MDEC’s industry connections and insights, UMP students will benefit from exposure to real-world challenges, cutting-edge technologies, and emerging trends.
This collaboration between MDEC and UMP holds immense promise in producing a new generation of tech leaders who are not only academically sound but also equipped with industry-relevant skills. Through joint efforts, they are nurturing a talent pipeline that will contribute to Malaysia’s digital economy and position the nation as a regional hub for technological innovation.
The partnership between MDEC and UMP signifies a shared commitment to driving digital excellence in Malaysia’s education landscape. By leveraging each other’s strengths, expertise, and resources, they are paving the way for a transformative learning experience that equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the digital age. Together, they are shaping the future of Premier Tech Institutes and empowering students to embrace the limitless possibilities of the digital world.

Petrosains RBTX Challenge 2023 Empowers Robotics Enthusiasts in Pahang
Pahang, Malaysia – The excitement of robotics filled the air as Petrosains, in collaboration with the Sports and Arts Education Division, Ministry of Education, Malaysia, organized the highly anticipated Petrosains RBTX Challenge 2023. On June 17th and 18th, students and teachers from various schools across Pahang gathered at the UMP STEM Lab to participate in an engaging two-day workshop, focusing on two exhilarating competition tracks: line tracing and sumo.
The workshop, a prelude to the main Petrosains RBTX Challenge, aimed to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to compete in the upcoming event. It provided an excellent opportunity for students and teachers to delve into the world of robotics, learn from experts, and refine their creations.
Under the guidance of experienced mentors, attendees were introduced to the fundamentals of robotics, including programming, mechanical design, and electrical components. Workshops and interactive sessions allowed participants to gain hands-on experience in building and programming their robots.
The line tracing competition track captured the attention of participants as they focused on developing robots capable of accurately following a predetermined path on a track. Through insightful presentations and practical exercises, students and teachers learned about line detection sensors, motor control, and algorithm optimization techniques. They eagerly applied this knowledge to their robotic creations, fine-tuning them for optimal performance.
Simultaneously, the sumo competition track sparked fierce excitement among participants. With the objective of designing robots capable of pushing their opponents out of a circular ring, students and teachers eagerly immersed themselves in the intricacies of robot design, weight distribution, and strategic maneuvering. The workshop provided valuable guidance on sensor integration, effective driving mechanisms, and programming strategies to outwit opponents.
The Petrosains RBTX Challenge 2023 workshop not only facilitated technical learning but also encouraged collaboration and knowledge sharing. Participants had the opportunity to network with fellow robotics enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and form connections within the thriving robotics community in Pahang.
In addition to the competition-focused activities, attendees were treated to informative talks by industry professionals who shared their experiences and insights into the real-world applications of robotics.
