The highlight of the meeting was the introduction of CHESTA’s diverse and exciting programs planned for the year. These initiatives are designed not only to develop technical and professional skills but also to create unforgettable experiences for chemical engineering students. Our first program is the Charity Sale, handled by the Media Bureau, allows students to give back to the community by raising funds for orphanages through the sale of CHESTA T-shirts. This activity combines creativity, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. Similarly, the Iftar with Orphanage, organized by the Welfare Bureau, offers an opportunity to connect with underprivileged children, instilling compassion and gratitude while fostering a spirit of giving.

For those passionate about sustainability and environmental issues, the Ocean Acidification Awareness Programme, proposed to take place at Redang Island, is an unmissable event. This program highlights real-world challenges related to ocean health, offering participants a chance to engage in meaningful discussions and gain practical insights into environmental protection—skills that align with the global role of chemical engineers. Additionally, Hiking with CHESTA, organized by the Sports Bureau, is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors. With a beginner-friendly trail, it’s a great way to bond with peers, promote physical health, and de-stress from academic life.

Professional development is a key focus for CHESTA, and the CV Talk is tailored to prepare students for the competitive job market. Featuring experienced speakers, this session provides invaluable guidance on crafting impressive resumes and acing interviews. CHESTA’s Edu Trip, where students visit companies, factories, or chemical plants, offers a unique opportunity to see the industry in action, bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world applications.

For students seeking fun and fitness, CHESTA’s Sports Day and Fun Run provide the perfect balance of healthy competition and bonding. Meanwhile, the Chem-E-Car Competition, a flagship event during Engintex, allows participants to showcase their creativity and technical prowess. Events like CHESTA Beraya, CHESTA Mega Gathering, and the Annual Grand Dinner are designed to strengthen bonds, celebrate achievements, and build a sense of family within the CHESTA community.

CHESTA isn’t just about programs—it’s about growth, learning, and connection. Each bureau, from Education to Sports, Welfare to Multimedia, plays a vital role in creating meaningful experiences for members.
