The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), successfully hosted the Mechanical Industrial Day and Exhibition 2025 (MiDEX 2025) on 26\u201327 May 2025 at UTM Skudai. The two-day event brought together students, industry partners, alumni, schools, and the local community in a vibrant celebration of engineering innovation, collaboration, and talent development.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Recognized under UTM\u2019s AIM4Star Programme, MiDEX 2025 is one of the university\u2019s flagship initiatives that strengthen academic\u2013industry collaboration while fostering meaningful engagement with society. More than 34 companies and agencies participated in the event, offering career talks, job interviews, and technology showcases. With over 1,000 visitors attending, the campus was transformed into an energetic platform where knowledge exchange, innovation, and career opportunities intersected.

Students from FKM showcased their final-year projects, research posters, and industrial training experiences, providing industry representatives with insights into emerging engineering talent. At the same time, companies shared their expectations for future engineers, helping students better understand real industry needs.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

A key highlight of MiDEX 2025 was the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between FKM-UTM, TWI Technology (S.E. Asia) Sdn. Bhd., and Welding Institute Malaysia ANB, enabling UTM to become the only university in Malaysia authorised to offer the International Welding Engineer (IWE) Diploma programme. The collaboration also supported lecturer training and student certification programmes through significant industry and government contributions.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

MiDEX 2025 also featured a wide range of engaging activities, including STEM competitions, sustainability showcases, and cultural exhibitions. Together, these initiatives highlighted UTM\u2019s commitment to nurturing innovative engineers while strengthening partnerships that support a more sustainable and technologically advanced future.<\/span><\/p>\n
