Written by<\/span> <\/span>Nuratiqah Imani binti Noordin <\/span><\/p>\n <\/a>On 27 January 2026, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, welcomed a delegation from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), for a strategic academic and research engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The delegation was led by Professor CHEN Ke, Vice Dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering, SJTU, while FKM was represented by its Dean, Professor Ir. Ts. Dr. Zaini Ahmad. The meeting provided an important platform for both institutions to explore opportunities for deeper international cooperation in education, research, and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Discussions centred on expanding international student mobility, developing joint research initiatives in solidification materials and other advanced engineering fields, as well as establishing sustainable long-term institutional partnerships. Both universities expressed a shared commitment to strengthening global engagement and advancing research excellence through impactful collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The visit also highlighted FKM\u2019s participation in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Southeast Asia Materials Forum in Singapore, themed \u201cAI for Materials\u201d. The forum offers further opportunities for researchers from both institutions to exchange knowledge, explore emerging technologies, and initiate high-impact research collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Following the academic discussion, FKM hosted the delegation on a tour of selected areas within the Johor\u2013Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). The visit provided first-hand exposure to the region\u2019s growing industrial ecosystem and economic development, while opening further possibilities for academic\u2013industry collaboration and research aligned with regional needs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Through engagements such as this, FKM continues to strengthen its international network and build strategic partnerships that support innovation, knowledge creation, and sustainable technological advancement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/10\/MECHANICA-Vol-22026-17.png” title_text=”MECHANICA Vol 22026 (17)” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/10\/DSC_1864.jpg” title_text=”DSC_1864″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/10\/DSC_1792.jpg” title_text=”DSC_1792″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/10\/DSC_1768.jpg” title_text=”DSC_1768″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mech.utm.my\/mechanica\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/252\/2026\/10\/MECHANICA-Vol-22026-18.png” title_text=”MECHANICA Vol 22026 (18)” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by Nuratiqah Imani binti NoordinEdited by Ts ChM Dr Nor Suriani Sani On 27 January 2026, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, welcomed a delegation from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), for a strategic academic and research engagement.
