On duty to man the faculty booth at the ASPer Towards Industry 4.0 event. This event was primarily aimed at the final semester Asasi Pertanian (UPM Matriculation) students, but was also opened to all secondary school leavers to promote the programmes which UPM offer. It was held at UPM's Main Hall (PKKSSAAS) from 8 am - 5 pm. All sixteen faculties took part, exhibiting and also rallying for their very own program. ASPer students are typically top students, hand-selected by UPM through their mock SPM results to undergo a shorter matriculation program compared to their peers attending the KPM Matriculation program (the Fast Track program is only for 8 months whereas KPM Matriculation can be up to 2 years prior to starting their degree courses).
There was a big turn up at the event, and having several students to help out at the booth was definitely a blessing. For the Multimedia Department, we had brought several of our students' FYP projects and let the visitors played around with the Virtual Reality world, or tried out the Augmented Reality apps. Quite a few students had finalized their option to apply for our Bachelor of Computer Science programs, especially Software Engineering. As an added information, FSKTM offers Bachelor of Computer Science with three majors - Multimedia, Computer Network and Computer System, as well as Bachelor of Software Engineering.
