AMSERU Continues to Inspire Young Scientists Through Materials Science Short Courses & Laboratory Training
At AMSERU, our commitment to fostering STEM education among young learners continues to grow stronger year after year. Over the past two years, AMSERU successfully conducted a series of educational programs aimed at empowering students from Setapak Vocational College, Kuala Lumpur, with real-world knowledge and hands-on experience in materials science.
📅 Program 1: Materials Science Short Course & Materials Laboratory Course on Tensile and Hardness 1.0
Date: 7 March 2023 (Short Course) & 27-28 March 2023 (Lab Course)
Venue: Banquet Room (E1) & Materials Testing Laboratory (E0), Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM
💡 Highlights:
1) Introduction to fundamental theories of materials science
2) Hands-on training with materials characterization and testing equipment
3) Delivered by AMSERU experts: Dr. Ahmad Zahirani Ahmad Azhar, Dr. Norshahida Sarifuddin, Dr. Noorasikin Samat, Dr. Hafizah Hanim Mohd Zaki, and Dr. Farah Diana Mohd Daud.
📅 Program 2: Materials Science Laboratory Course on Tensile and Hardness 2.0
Date: 14-15 March 2024
Venue: Materials Testing Laboratory (E0), Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM
💡 Highlights:
1) Participation of 77 students from Setapak Vocational College
2) Advanced materials testing and characterization experience
3) Conducted by AMSERU’s dedicated trainers: Dr. Norshahida Sarifuddin, Dr. Noorasikin Samat, Dr. Hafizah Hanim Mohd Zaki, and Dr. Farah Diana Mohd Daud.
✨ Both programs, a collaborative effort between AMSERU and the Lean Development & Sustainability Office (LeaDS), embody our vision to ignite curiosity and inspire future scientists and engineers. By bridging classroom learning with practical exposure, we hope to cultivate a lifelong passion for science and technology among these young learners.
This continuous effort reflects AMSERU’s role as a research hub and a passionate advocate for STEM outreach — because the future of materials science starts with today’s youth.
