Reflection
Our group (group 5) were given an opportunity to attend Innovate Johor 2019. This event was actually an annual public event lead by UTM Research Management Center (RMC) under the supervision of the UTM Deputy Vice Chansellor of Reseach and Innovation (DVCRI). This event was about celebrating the diversity of research innovation within Johor especially those that are from UTM itself. Innovate Johor was a platform for the students and researchers to exhibit their invention or innovation that can gave benefits to the local communities and also industries. This event was not only attended by UTM researchers but also from other universities and colleges.
I was so amazed with all the research projects. From my observation, there is trend in innovate Johor where they tend to implement the waste-to-wealth concept in their research. Most of the booth that i went, they mostly used the waste product as the key of their research project. By using the sustainable resource in invention of products, I believed that, it just not only could saved our nature but we also had increased the standard of living and provided people with opportunities to improve their lives.
I also was given a chance to listen the icon talk. The talk was given by Associate Professor Dr. Yeong Che Fai, a senior lecturer from School Of Electrical Engineering and also a Co-Founder of DF Automation and Robotics Sdn. Bhd and Techcare Innovation Sdn. Bhd. He talked about the academic- entrepreneurial mindset that must had in each of the students. I could understand the hardship in order to be a successful entrepreneur. It was not as easy as we thought. We must dare to take the risks in business and also had enough budget to open a new business. He also talked about the background of his business. It aspired me to be a auspicious business woman in future.
