Congratulations to Ir. Ts. Dr. Suazlan bin Mt Aznam on securing a Sponsored Research Grant!

The AMSERU Team proudly congratulates Ir. Ts. Dr. Suazlan Bin Mt Aznam from the Kulliyyah of Engineering (KOE) on being awarded a Private Sponsored Research Grant amounting to RM 20,000.00 from H2O DATATECH SDN. BHD.

🧪 Project Title:
Evaluating Sewerage Infrastructure Certification Through Operational and Financial Data Analytics for Productivity Enhancement

This achievement marks another milestone in advancing industry-linked research that aligns with national infrastructure sustainability and digital transformation goals.

The awarded project highlights the growing importance of data analytics competencies among engineering students. In today’s data-driven world, the ability to translate raw operational and financial data into actionable insights is critical for making informed decisions, optimising systems, and driving innovation in real-world applications.

📢 A Special Note to Students: Unlock Tools Already Available to You

Did you know that as an IIUM student, you already have access to powerful data tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Fabric through your university’s Microsoft 365 Live account?

1) Power BI enables you to build interactive dashboards and analyze complex data visually.
2) Power Automate allows you to create automated workflows that save time and boost productivity.
3) Microsoft Fabric brings together data integration, engineering, real-time analytics, and business intelligence into one unified platform — an emerging industry-standard for enterprise-scale analytics.

These tools are highly valued in the industry and are increasingly mentioned in job descriptions across engineering, consulting, and tech roles. Learning to use them now, as part of your coursework or FYP, will enhance your resume and prepare you for a more competitive and confident interview experience in your future job hunt.

We encourage all students to explore and practice using these tools—the earlier you start, the better prepared you’ll be to meet the expectations of today’s digital workforce.


We look forward to witnessing impactful outcomes from this project and further collaborations that bridge academic research and industry relevance.
