Written by Ir. Dr. Mohd Azman Abas<\/em> The Technology Transfer Apprenticeship Programme (TTAP), an initiative led by Persona Energy Sdn. Bhd., in collaboration with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific (PMAP), continues to demonstrate how industry-driven training can nurture highly skilled engineering talents for the motorsport and automotive sectors. The programme marked another important TTAP is designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the demanding realities of motorsport engineering. Through this initiative, selected Malaysian engineering students get hands-on experience with real-world motorsport operations, learning practical insights into high-performance vehicle systems, race team management, and technical problem-solving under competitive conditions, with experienced professionals, including international racing driver Jazeman Jaafar as mentor and Ir. Dr. Mohd Azman Abas, as Programme Academic Advisor, supports the programme.<\/p>\n Six students of FKM, UTM were selected to participate in the programme and were embedded directly within the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Championship. Over six months, the apprentices worked closely with professional racing teams, assisting in tasks such as car setup, mechanical inspections, tyre management, and race preparation for the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race car. Training activities and race events took place across major motorsport venues in Asia, including Buriram in Thailand, Sepang in Malaysia, and Shanghai in China.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Beyond technical training, TTAP emphasizes discipline, teamwork, and adaptability within the high-pressure environment of international racing. Continuous performance assessments enable mentors to identify strengths and areas for improvement as they prepare participants for professional careers in the motorsport industry.<\/span><\/p>\n The programme has already produced encouraging outcomes, with several participants receiving opportunities with international racing teams. Through initiatives like TTAP, Malaysia is building a new generation of engineers with advanced technical skills, global industry exposure, and the confidence to compete in motorsport engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-21-104352.png” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Screenshot 2026-04-21 104352″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by Ir.
