Career Talk Seminar

Do you know what you may be in 5-10 years time? Are you holding a career in hand by then? Or are you unable to foresee where you'll be standing in the near future?
CUTEC invites you to join in the CAREER TALK SEMINAR, where experienced engineers from several dicisplines will share their stories.

This seminar will definitely be worthwhile, especially for freshmen who are in doubt of which courses they should take. You will have a clearer perspective on courses such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, civil and etc. Moreover, this seminar might just spark off your interest in any of the courses and further motivate you to pursue that prospective path!

Project Conference

Have you any stimulating great ideas that are constantly nagging the back of your minds? This is your golden opportunity, grab this chance, propose your engineering-related idea as a project, and if it goes through, CUTEC will help you with it! For those who are interested, you can start with joining us in the PROJECT CONFERENCE, to be held on 13th September 2008!

Learn the guidelines, experience how a professional engineer propose their ideas, and you are most welcome to propose new projects. If you'd like to have a look at the proposal form, you may retrieve it from the CUTEC Club Folder in Curtin's desktop.

For more information regarding this, you may contact our project director, Sim Sheng Kai (013-5615773).

Site Visits

Remember previous semester's site visit to Bintulu's SMDS (Shell Middle Distillate System) & Bakun Dam? If you missed that chance or if Bintulu is too far for you, then do make sure to join us this time around!

This semester, we will be visiting local places in Miri such as the SHIN YANG SHIPYARD SDN. BHD. and SESCO!

As for now, we have confirmed the visit to SHIN YANG SHIPYARD SDN. BHD, which is assumed to take place on 20th September. We will be guided through some ship-constructing processes and we might even have a sneak peek on the insides of the ships as well. However, our seats are limited, as usual. We suggest that you register right after the booth is open! We hope you will not miss out this opportunity yet again.

As for the SESCO site visit, we will reconfirm, and if we are granted permission, we will bring you into the building of Miri's main electric supplier!

Fellowship Gathering

Last but not least, we will be having a FELLOWSHIP GATHERING! After a long semester, we've planned hard, thought hard, worked hard for the purpose of giving benefits to all CUTEC members. Isn't it time for fun too?

On this occasion, we will have food, interactions and games! We will inform everyone as soon as we confirm the venue and the date. Stay with us and be sure to join us there!Do look forward for these activities and please do join!

It’s the start of a new sem! though it’s already a few weeks since class resumed..

The day’s event started off with introduction of the committee members.

Those're the committee members intro-ing themselves

It was then followed by the club's president, Ms Lim Yii Mei for her welcoming speech.

Basically, Yii Mei talked about some brief information regarding the Club.

After the welcoming speech from Yii Mei, Ms Tina, one representative explained the roles and benefit of joining IEM(Institute of Engineers Malaysia).

Ways to join IEM were also informed to all present on that day.

Next up was CUTEC Club's Treasurer, Mr Noorasfan, or Asfan as we usually call him =P, who talked about the club's treasurer report.

Asfan showed us the club's incomes and expenses from the previous semester.

Then it was Ms Ling Su Ning, the club's activity director to describe the club's activities. Su Ning explained previous activities organised by CUTEC, as well as upcoming ones. So for those who are anticipating more events from the club, do keep yourself updated!

It was then Mr Sim Sheng Kai, the project director, to talk about the club's project, previous and upcoming ones. Just some small info here, our club had completed the trebuchet project. And if anyone has any new project in mind, do speak your thought out!

After the project presentation, there was a brief talk by Ms Catherine, who is a CUTEC member herself, about the JCLA(John Curtin Leadership Academy)'s RM 1 Campaign.

As a sign of appreciation and recognition of previous board of committee members and EXCO, CUTEC awarded the previous EXCOs and committee members with the certificate if appreciation. Well deserved by them as they worked very hard to keep the club going ever forward (:
And oh, the cert was presented by ex-president, Mr Chiew Guan Thai or GT.

So after all were done, it was time for some fun! Which was the game session. The game played was the bridge game, where we had to build a bridge using only newpapers and limited staples. So yeah, design was what made the difference ^^

Below are pictures during game session, too bad didn't manage to take some snap of the bridges.

Enough motivation to winning? =P

Refreshment wahaha

Haha so the light refreshment wrapped up the General Meeting. Overall it went pretty smoothly without any major problem. But one disappointing thing was not all members stayed till the end of the meeting. It would be great for everyone to have fun together (:

And also big thanks to all committee members who had contributed. Greatly appreaciated^^

So this post has come to an end.

More activities to come!

CUTEC BBQ Fellowship Gathering Sem 1 2008

*Phew, here's the last event we had for the first semester,and that should complete our account for this sem... hehe. So here it is.. (^-^)*

Hi guys! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! :) As you all know, CUTEC fellowship gathering had been held at Taman Awam Miri on 10th May 2008. Around 50 participants had successfully attracted to attend. The objectives of this event are to enhance the relationship between the committee members and ordinary members. Furthermore, it aimed to build up team spirit of CUTEC. Each committee member contributed tremendous effort in promoting this fellowship gathering to all the members.

On that day, all committee members reached at Taman Awam around 5pm and helped out in the preparation by setting up the food, music and barbecue equipment. As I had to attend another event during that time, Su Fong was elected as temporary OC during the event. The barbecue fire was started by the Teh and the others who reached there first. On the other hand, Danny helped out in preparing the drinks.

Around 6pm, the barbecue was officially started. All CUTEC members have the opportunity to enjoy all the food for free, including chicken wings, pizzas, sausages, fried mee and bee hoon. While enjoying the food, everyone chit chatted around and mixed with each other.

Then, when I reached there around 8pm, the game was started. All the committee members of the event helped out in distributing and pasting a paper on each member’s back, allowing others to write some comments and autographs on the paper. Everyone enjoyed and knew each other more through the game. Around 10pm, all the members were allowed to take off the papers and have a look themselves about the comments written by others. Everyone seemed to enjoy because some smiled and even laughed after looking at the comments.

After that, the event was officially ended. Some members went back home by their own transport while some was sent back by our committees. Everyone co-operated well in cleaning up the place.

In short, this event was conducted smoothly and the result was satisfying as all committee contributed a lot in making it a success. Hence, I would like to express my gratitude to all CUTEC committees in making this gathering a great success. Through this gathering, the relationship between members and committees were fostered and everyone got to know each other better. As a result, this outcome assists a lot in organizing CUTEC up-coming activities.
