An industrial talk had been presented by Ir. Juraimi Masmood on 17th April 2018 from 2.15 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. in L50 DK1. He has electrical engineering background and a huge experience as an engineer. He had shared his working experiences in PTP (Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas) to all the FKE final year students in this seminar. He has grown his career from a trainer to an engineer and finally become General Manager for Project Integration now in PTP. Some pictures are shown to us to let us understanding the history of development of PTP.
Ir. Juraimi Masmood worked at KTA Tenaga and carried out his first heavy engineering project which was KLCC Air Conditional Plant Project before working in PTP. The important tasks of handling a heavy engineering project are designing solution, project planning, project cost estimating, product quality, construction process and safety. After that, worked as a resident engineer whom needed to deal with clients, college and contractors. He mentioned that the communication skill is very important because dealing with others is an important task in engineer's life. He had talked about becoming an engineer with clients should has skills to manage development plan and stakeholders' expectations . For an example, the job scope are determining end user requirement, engaging communities and authorities, engaging consultants, engaging contractors/suppliers, development of master plan as well as confirming timely, high quality and safe delivery.

Before ending the seminar, he has reminded us that ethic is moral as well as engineering ethics is a field of applied ethics and system of moral principle which apply to practice of engineering. The standard used in engineering ethics are IEEE and NSPE ( National Society of Professional Engineering). There still a long journey in our life to become a professional engineer in future.
