INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2013
SUMMARIZATION REGARDING IWMST 2013
International Workshop on Materials Science and Technology was a seminar which has been designed for students of Materials Technology to gain more knowledge and as a path for them to explore more regarding materials science. This seminar has been providing an early exposure and ideas to students related to their career prospects after graduation later.
Materials Technology Program is one of the newest courses offered in my university. Generally, this program is designed to prepare the students with knowledge regarding material sources such as metal, ceramic, polymer, nanotechnology and application technology.
On that seminar, there were few speakers which have been giving a talk regarding Materials Science and Technology such as Dr. Kartini Noorsal, the Head of Biomedical Materials Section at Advanced Materials Research Centre (AMREC), SIRIM Berhad, Ass. Prof. Dr. Hidenori Terasaki from Osaka University and Prof. Dr. Zainal Arifin Ahmad, a Professor in School of Materials and Minerals Resources at University Science Malaysia just to name a few.
As the conclusion, there were many things that have been discovered during the seminar regarding Materials Technology even though as a student, I have no idea and not study about it yet. But, by attending this seminar, I have gain more knowledge and have been opening my mind about Material Technology because studying Materials Technology can be fun and interesting like what being told by those speakers.
