Great Exposure and Rewarding Trip to Bangkok for Five SOT Students

Five students from the Division of Electronic Engineering from School of Technology were selected to attend the 2005 South East Asia Initi@tive World Tour Conference and Exhibition held in Bangkok, Thailand. The event, held from 5 to 7 December at the Royal Thai Navy Convention Hall, was organised by Schneider Electric, a worldwide company focused in electrical distribution, industrial control and automation.

During the event, the TAR College students had the opportunity to meet and learn from students from Malaysia’s UNITEN and MMU, as well as other ASEAN countries including Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. They were also treated to a fabulous Cabaret Show at the Dome Palace theatre and attended a Gala Dinner graced by the Princess of Thailand.

The TAR College student representatives commented that they found the trip very rewarding, as they have learnt a lot from the veterans and professionals of the industry and were given much exposure on the latest industrial equipments and concepts.

“The conference has helped me to build up my understanding of the future trend in the industry and better equipped me for my career upon graduation,” said Teoh Yeam Ming, one of the student representatives, who had enrolled for the Sheffield Hallam University Honours degree conversion programme for Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics System Engineering.
