UiTM, University of the Philippines, Cambodia Safety Solution Organization join forces for workshop on road safety, gender equality
In a significant step towards promoting road safety and gender equality, the School of Civil Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA hosted the “Stay Safe Stay Equal Workshop.” This event was held online on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 in collaboration with the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Cambodia Safety Solution Organization (CaMSafe), bringing together experts and participants to tackle pressing issues. The workshop coincided with significant global observances: May’s focus on road safety under the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 and June’s emphasis on gender equality, including International Women in Engineering Day (INWED). This event is part of the Ministry of Higher Education’s Service-Learning Malaysia – University for Society (SULAM) initiative, ongoing since 2020.
Harnessing Sustainability Towards Engineering Technology
To address a critical water purification challenge, the program brought together students and lecturers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and Sekolah Tinggi Teknologi Pekanbaru. This collaborative initiative, sponsored by Yayasan Vfive and supported by Harista Karsa Mandiri, aimed to install a water filter system at Masjid Nurul Jannah, Pekanbaru, Indonesia to improve the quality of water used for ablution and other daily purposes.
International SULAM Activity: Vision Zero Community Empowering Road Safety through Engineering Intervention
The International Program Vision Zero Community – Engineering Invention towards Road Safety, in collaboration with Universitas Andalas, is set to take place at Masjid At-Taqwa, Kampung Olo, Nanggalo, Kota Padang, Indonesia. The highlight of the program is the distribution of “reflective blinkers” to the community. These blinkers serve as a safety measure for motorcyclists, ensuring they are visible to other road users, particularly during nighttime.
Envirovision: Evaluation of Noise and Air Particles Assessments
The "Envirovision: Evaluation of Noise and Air Particle Assessments" program includes an assessment of the noise, air quality, and the level of satisfaction of visitors and sellers at the Pasar Pagi Arengka, Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Additionally, the data obtained will be analyzed, and the study report will be given to the government in Riau for monitoring.
