Preface
As a member of the Youth Member Section (YMS) Malaysia striving under the name of
IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter, we are required to produce a report that summarizes our
yearly event which covers from July 2015 to July 2016 in line with IMechE's vision:
"Improving the world through engineering." The programs conducted were planned equally
to reflect on the 6 key themes of Education, Energy, Environment, Healthcare, Manufacturing
and Transport. All these programs are aimed to spark interests of engineering and to introduce
the vast stream of Mechanical Engineering field to fellow students. We classified the
activities
into
few
categories,
namely:
Visit,
Competition,
Seminar/Talk,
Training/Workshop and Others.

In this yearly report, it covers the summary of the committees of the club administration for
the student chapter of the year 2016/2017, the current members, events and programs
conducted, and the achievements by the IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter.
With the presentation of this report, we hope to document our journey and showcase the
diligent and hard work of the club committees. The following pages reflect their earnest
passion towards IMechE as well as their ability of working as a team and putting devotion
towards the club.
Introduction
The purpose of the YMS Secretarial report is to summarise all the activities of the Student
Chapter since the previous YMS report submission. We will try to be as brief as possible and
wish to apologise in advance if we have omitted the contribution or achievement of any
individual. The goal of this report is to outline the events both on and off the field, and to
outline the future vision and aspirations of the club going forward. Firstly, we would like to
introduce some of our work in the past year, outline the effort and workload taken on by
elected committees and people involved, and then move on to report on the activities
throughout last year. The events which were conducted from July 2015 to July 2016 comprise
of programs ranging from educational talk, UNITEN internal competition, workshop as well
as industrial visit to the industry and the celebrated IMechE Annual Grand Meeting for the
new students and the existing IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter members. The report ends
with us stating our achievements, future plans as well as a conclusion to the report.
About Us
3.1
Club Administration
The club has always been administered by the same people. The President, Vice President,
Treasurer and Secretary, not to forget all the other committee members and vice-positions to
aid in all decisions and events. Our club is run by the Executive Committee. We met about
once every fortnightly this year, with excellent attendance from the majority of the group,
except for cases during semester breaks and exam period when our activities slow down as
well.
As with every other club and society, we have a new president in this term and president that
has gone before has brought their own style and personality to the Presidency. Mr. Chong
Kah Luo is no exception, and we hope that he will reflect on his Presidency and lead the
student chapter and her committees to greater achievements. Mr. Chong Kah Luo, has
represented us at many functions within and outside the student chapter, bringing dignity and
a sense of well-being to this office.
It is also to be noted that our previous ALO Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Khairul Salleh bin Mohamed
Sahari had decided to step down and will be replaced by Mr. Chua Yaw Long. As a
professional student body we will always seek engagement with students. We live in a world
today where if we are not being liked, poked, or shared youre invisible. Mr. Chua Yaw Long,
as our new advisor and ALO for the last few months, has raised the profile of this Student
Chapter, particularly through events and eventually led to a stronger presence in the YMS
section and social media attention. We are competing with so many other activities for
students attention and we believe with Mr. Chuas leadership, we will not only be able to
capture the attention of students with interesting events, but to also promote the core values
of engineering among them. It is also the collective responsibility of us all to recruit new
members, thus ensuring the future survival of this club. In this reporting year, we conducted a
few recruitment events to increase the numbers of the student chapter.
3.2
Summary of Members
For UNITEN IMechE Uniten Student Chapter, there are 545 registered members in the
database. In the past year, there were 61 new members whom were registered with us. There
were a few recruitment drives throughout the year through events which were conducted. For
example, there was the UNITEN Bazaar Day in which the purpose was to introduce clubs and
societies to new students.
Below is the list and details of the committees involved in IMeche UNITEN Student Chapter

Report on IMechE Paper Tower Building Challenge

Advisor
Venue
: BM, College of Engineering, UNITEN
Date
: 16th April 2016
A paper tower competition was carried out by IMeche UNITEN Student Chapter on
the 6th of April 2015. Accompanied by Mr. Ikhwan, the teacher advisor for this program, a
total of 7 teams, each consisting of 3 members and 5 IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter
Committee Members joined this program.
The main purpose of this competition was to provide UNITENs Mechanical
Engineering students a problem-solving situation where a paper tower which was constructed
can withstand the obstacles which were being presented. This competition helped to bridge
the gap between classroom and the real working world. The participants had the chance to
understand and think out of the box on how to construct a paper tower that can withstand any
obstacles and yet remain steadfast and standing. This competition was made open to all
students currently pursuing Mechanical Engineering and other courses offered in UNITEN.
The following pictures were taken during the competition.

IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter successfully conducted a bazaar event which was
organized by the UNITEN Students Representative Council (SRC). The event was open to
all students in UNITEN.
UNITEN WOW bazaar was held at the beginning of every semester. The main
purpose of this program was to introduce UNITENs club and society to new students. All the
clubs and societies had to set up a booth to attract new student to register as member. It is one
of the biggest event in UNITEN and also served as a recruitment event. The Student Council
also invited some local celebrities for performances during the bazaar.
For IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter, we had a booth of our own as well. The
booths decoration included posters and pictures of past events. Also, a ping pong ball
throwing game was used to promote more registrations. For every registration, the new
member was allowed to throw ping pong balls to win freebies, for instance files and freeevent vouchers. We introduced the students about IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter and the
perks of signing up as a member. The response was overwhelming such that we had 51
registered members during UNITEN WOW bazaar.
