Kota Tinggi, 16 May 2026 \u2013 The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FKM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), successfully organised the Experiential Learning Programme: Trash to Treasure at Ruang Daya Cipta (RDC), Kota Tinggi. The programme was held in collaboration with the ULRF2252 Caring Society course under the School of Undergraduate Studies (UGS), UTM.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme brought together university students, researchers, school teachers and local communities to promote environmental awareness through interactive learning activities. A total of 10 schools around Kota Tinggi participated, involving nearly 50 students and 10 accompanying teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed to encourage sustainability awareness among young learners, the programme introduced the principles of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle through educational games, exploration activities and hands-on sessions. Participants learned about responsible waste management, sustainable living and the importance of protecting the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In his welcoming address, Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Zaini Ahmad, Dean of FKM, highlighted the importance of universities contributing to society beyond teaching and research. He also noted that RDC Kota Tinggi serves as a strategic community living laboratory for knowledge transfer, social innovation and experiential learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The closing ceremony was officiated by YB Tuan Haji Manndzri Haji Nasib, Member of Parliament for Tenggara, who commended UTM\u2019s efforts in promoting sustainability awareness among the younger generation. Also present were representatives from FKM, UGS and the Kota Tinggi District Education Office.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The programme reflects FKM\u2019s continued commitment to strengthening community engagement, knowledge transfer and sustainability education. Through collaborations with schools, communities and local stakeholders, FKM continues to create meaningful impact beyond the university campus.<\/span><\/p>\n
