Shell Career Talk organized by Technology Education Career (TEC) by Nur Zahidah

Shell Career Talk organized by Technology Education Career (TEC)

By Nur Zahidah Kamarudzaman, 3^rd Year 1^st, CVE

Seminar Room 7, 25^th March 2015 – Once again, TEC had successfully organized a career talk. This time around, the guest from the industry was Shell. The talk started with the arrival of guests from Shell. After registration at 2.30pm, the talk started at about 2.50pm. The talk was firstly started with the MC  welcoming the speakers from Shell.

     After the welcoming speech from the MC, Mr. Harith Azhar was called upon to recite the Du’a. Officially the talk started and the guest is called upon to deliver his talk.

   The special guest was Mr. Steve Johnstan, a senior well engineer (discipline advisor). He had B.Eng Mechanical Engineering degree from Bristol, UK and joined Shell in the year 1992. Over the years, he had assisted Shell with recruitments and had oversight on many developments with Shell.

     Firstly, he introduced the objectives of his speech. The objectives were to improve students understanding of wells in Shell and the industry and for further understanding he had clarified what is exactly Well Engineering (WE) and Completion and Well Interventions (CWI) and its differences.

     According to Mr. Steve Johnstan, WE job scopes are to design and construct the well, re-enter wells to drill new side tracks and lastly to permanently abandon well after the job is done. Usually the wells are permanently abandoned after 1 months up to 2 years after the completion of the wells. Whereas CWI job scopes is to maintain well integrity, functionality of the wells, design and install the completion of the wells, and to remediate and solve problems regarding the wells.

      With such detailed speech given by Mr. Steve Johnstan, students should be able to determine whether Well Engineering is the right career path for them and also whether Shell is the right company for fellow internships and fresh graduates from UTP. His speech ended at 4.25pm and the floor was given to the representative from Shell Human Resource Department to answer questions regarding internships and potential job placements for fresh graduates. Finally, the talk officially ended at 5.00pm. Even though the talk was only for 3 hours duration, however, I have obtained many new information and I am sure other students experienced the same too. Therefore I reckoned other students to keep their selves up to date with industry trends by attending all the talks organized by TEC.

                                                         Up to 250 students attended the talk

"Accommodations" In UTP By Rubendran Loganathan

“Accomodations” in UTP – Is it worth it ??

by Rubendran Loganathan

UTP, also known as Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS is ranked in the top 200 in Chemical Engineering under the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2014 ; Placed between 151 and 200, and ranked three stars based on eight categories namely research, employability, teaching, facilities, internationalisation, innovation, specialist criteria and access ; One of eight Malaysian universities named among the global top 200 in at least one of the 30 disciplines covered in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2014. It’s surely a marvel when you look upon it. Well, indeed it is, but how can a University be so good, and yet so flawless. What could actually go wrong ? As the popular saying goes, “Not all that glitters is gold”, there must be something which the University students do not enjoy or appreciate. Recent studies among UTP Students shows that “Accomodations” is the most overlooked aspect in this university.

Well then, what defines a good accommodation service for a University Student ? If you are thinking of single rooms with bathrooms attached, air-conditioned hostel rooms and excellent Internet connection in your room, that would absolutely be the ideal room for us university students to stay in. Sadly, some of these facilities are not up to par in the “Accomodation” service in UTP. The two main aspects that most UTP students want is proper functioning facilities and good Internet service.

Let’s explore the charges per-week for a standard UTP room.  Since 2011, students staying in UTP are charged RM 40 per week for 16 weeks with an addition of RM 20 for the charges for the utilities inside per house such as fridge and pantry services. That means, a student would pay at an average, at most RM 700 per semester. Not bad considering the fact that other Universities charges it’s students at an average RM 900 per month. But not to forget the fact that those other Universities provides all the other facilities and furnishings inclusive of the RM 900 charge which UTP does not provide, including Microwave Oven, TV, Air Conditioning System, Dining Tables, CCTV Services, Water Heater, good Internet service and ample of parking spaces. From a neutral point of view, it is fair enough that we, UTP students are charged RM 700 per semester for a bed, wardrobe cupboard, Internet service, a pantry, a fridge and a bathroom for the whole house. Most UTP students actually do not mind the below par conditions of the facilities as they feel that it is okay to stay in such conditions (as we get used to living conditions in UTP as we progress in our years of study in UTP). Most of them are more concerned about the Internet service which has been a major issue for UTP students staying in campus.

The Internet has had an enormous impact on education making it easier for students from a variety of backgrounds to attend classes remotely, cutting down the need for travel and reducing the resources required for education. The Internet has also made access to information and communication far easier. Rather than searching the library, users can access vast amounts of information from home computers. But the same can’t be said about UTP’s Internet Service in recent times. Compared to other Universities which uses either a fast Wi-fi connection, or the usage of a fibre optic Internet cable, UTP Students are confined to use the old and traditional Lan-Cable. Sure, we UTP students enjoy our Lan-Cable connections for games like DoTA, World of Warcraft, Ragnarok and Counter Strike, but what about the Internet speed ? As most UTP students would have experienced it, we could barely download lecture notes from our own University’s E-Learning site. Even a small file sized 2 MB takes hours to download. With download speeds as fast as 1KB/s, many students express their displeasure about it on the SRC-UTP Facebook page. Some students have also experienced no Internet access at all in their rooms, causing major outburst about their dissatisfaction in social sites, such as Twitter and so on. Recently, even the loading of a 360p Youtube Video is faster than the loading of a Facebook page or the University’s E-Learning site.

According to a statement released by the Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar UTP (MPPUTP) back in 2011 ;

Official Internet provider, JARING is now encountering a problem with one of two control systems thus causes the Internet to slow down. At this moment, they are fixing the problem and it may take couple of days to solve.

Currently, UTP students are sharing the bandwidth of Internet connection approximately 100 Mb/s on average. With this rate, student actually shouldn’t have any problem. The trouble might come from the students themselves. Actually the ITMS had already implemented a proxy to counter the users with high usage. Students are required to use this proxy to access the Internet by following the steps mentioned.

             UTP also once implemented the Quota system of 2GB/Daily Basis. The quota system was implemented by the ITMS due to extreme rate of downloading per usage compared to the amount of the data provided. This system is done in order to give equality to all students in terms of sharing the Internet since our Internet is a sharing basis and have to be used equally among all 6000++ students in the campus with just only 200 Mb per seconds. Yet, after all the commotion, we UTP Students still get slow Internet service. Perhaps, maybe the only way we UTP Students can gain access to fast Internet is if we use the Internet after 3.00 am (where the Internet speed will skyrocket with download speeds up to 1MB/s).

             Well, there are times we struggled with the Internet speeds, the washing machines, and not to forget the cleanliness of the pantries and the bathroom. But wait ! Speaking about cleanliness, we UTP Students must not forget that we also should have our own initiative to keep the toilets clean. Most people who use the bathroom do not properly flush or clean up after they finished their “business”. We should ask ourselves “Would we want to use the same bathroom if another person doesn’t flush the toilet or clean up the bathroom ?” So guys, come on. After you have done your “International Business”, please flush up. Oh yeah, there are also students who uses cotton buds in order to “hack” the washing machines, which is a foolish thing to do, because they are actually spoiling the washing machines which will lead to other students not being able to access them. Laundry areas being used as a dumping grounds, stacking of plates at the sink, and many more actions in which we ourselves should take responsibility and not rely on the “mak cik” cleaners to do. By taking some responsibility in taking care of the cleanliness of the bathrooms and pantries, we are also indirectly making the “mak cik’s” work a bit lighter.

              All in all, it is a fact that UTP indeed offers one of the cheapest rates for accommodation and the services offered to cover most of our daily needs. To be able to pay RM 700 per semester for accommodation services is actually considered to be a good bargain. Kudos UTP !!

Diversity in Delicacies? by Pretesh Sudhakaran

Diversity in Delicacies ?

by Pretesh Sudhakaran

             Where would we be without food? Especially as Malaysians; food defines us. With our nasi lemak, mee goreng and roti canai, I’ve basically described this country as a whole. Biology tells us that we eat to live but ohh no. A few arrangements are needed to correct this statement and the legitimate outcome would be ‘We live to eat’. Food is the alternative to boredom. We’ve all opened the refrigerator door to find nothing and to do so again not more than 5 minutes later; with the minimal hope of finding the slightest sliver of anything edible. We’ve all stolen our siblings’ muffin or that extra slice of pizza at least once in our lives. Well, if you haven’t, then it’s sad to that you’ve not lived. Nevertheless, food paves the way for our lives to unfold….somehow. And in UTP, it’s no different. Students from around 50 different countries can oogle at the plethora of dishes served.  But should we be content with what we already have and declare this ‘diverse’?

             Now let’s get down to the serious stuff in hand. Just a week before we at Heart of Tronoh came up with this article, we posted a survey form for the people of UTP to place comments on what they think about the diversity of foods in UTP. The results were aplenty. They were even; since I can’t find a better word to use in this case; diverse. Some were cringe-worthy and some paid tribute to what we have. But the blatant fact is that students in UTP aren’t really rooting for the food that is being served to them. Many of those who participated in this survey weren’t rhapsodizing over the ‘seemingly diverse’ dishes most of the cafés in UTP serve. One student, simply naming himself (I’m not sure of this student’s gender), ‘Key’, gave a detailed breakdown of what he has experienced at every food outlet. He expressed some great support for the dishes from the Arabic nation; tending to their cravings and also giving us locals a good feel of what the Middle East is all about. He concluded with what seems to be a unanimous thought and I quote, ‘As diverse as it may seem, students like me will get bored eventually even with the array of foods available here. However, I'm contented with the food choices here as boring as it may seem all the time’.

                Students like ‘debhasri’ and ‘Syakilla Burhanudin’ also called for more green food to be served  at these cafés. Vegetarians especially have found it tough to acclimatize to the life in UTP with cafés serving mostly meat. All that is there for them is just rice and bland soup. Cafés like the ones in V3,V4 and Café Paprika are not great places for vegetarian food according to respondents and they’ve asked for an increment in the number of outlets that serve vegetarian food and rightly so. Another underlying problem that a majority of students; whether they responded to the survey or continuously voice out on, is the unsatisfactory prices placed on the dishes. Students basically can’t afford the Western food around UTP along with some of the local dishes who some claim to be not up to par. One respondent said that the food like nasi goreng isn’t even remotely close to the quality of those served in popular city outlets and yet, they are even more expensive than the latter with a price tag of RM3.50 that can shoot up to about RM5 with the addition of prawns; that even being only 2 or 3 helpless prawns; compared to a modest RM3 worth of fried rice at popular places in big cities like KL or Ipoh. The western food too has been under heavy scrutiny for the overwhelming prices placed on them. At the Pakistan restaurant beside ‘Tudung Saji’, a simple chicken cheese shawarma costs around RM6-RM8, depending on the type you order. Students obviously can’t afford to spend money like this on a single serving for a meal in a day.

 

                  A few anonymous respondents chose to highlight the abysmal levels of hygiene at certain cafés; V3 and V1 for example. The satisfactory quality of the food is quickly tarnished by the annoying flies and insects lurking in them. I personally have had my fair share of startling encounters. One night, I was busy preparing for a meeting so I ordered a quick fried rice with a fried egg at the V3 ‘Goreng stall’, as people famously call it. I was given a special ingredient in the form of a fried fly in the fried egg. I admit, I was appalled by this and gave the cashier a piece of my mind. This is an issue all of us can agree on and that is the fact that the cafés in UTP have poor health plans. Even the famous Pakistan restaurant and the CIMB block has its soothing, air-conditioned environment tarnished by these pesky pests. Cases of students finding roaches and other unknown creatures in their dishes has become a common tale here in this beautiful university and it isn’t good for the name of our beloved home. I guess our diversity has gone a little too far.

                It is obvious that the people of this wonderful institution love it here and want it to grow to become something better. Moving forward is important and that means getting the food right. Everyone deserves what they desire; whether you’re a Malay, Indian, Chinese, African, Middle-Eastern or anyone of any ethnicity who resides here. In a nutshell, there is a good diversity in terms of food we possess but many feel left out and bored at times with the lack of consistency in pricing and quality of the food and change in the dishes. The absence of Indian food is also something to be considered given the population of Indians in UTP. However, students must understand the various steps needed to be taken to ensure a brand new establishment. It is understood that the proper authorities in UTP have made a few changes and are deliberating new ideas to revitalize the food culture here. To proclaim something flawless, is itself, a flaw, hence we can’t expect perfection, but only satisfaction for our diversity in delicacies.

By: Lim Chin Hwan & Wong Hao Xiang (Mechanical Engineering 1^st Year 1^st Semester)

UTP, 13^th March – UTP’s Chancellor Hall came to life with the blast of foot tapping music and eye catching decoration during the International Culture Night (ICN) 2015 with the arrival Tuan Haji Noor Rosli bin Baharom, Deputy Vice Chancellor of Students Affairs and Alumni, ushered by two Sikh drummers with all the audience applauding as they walked to their seats. ICN is an annual event organized by UTP to promote international culture to students of UTP. Most surprisingly was the Chancellor Hall of UTP which could accommodate approximately 2500 people was fully packed that day.

During the event, many performances were performed ranging from singing, dancing to playing instruments. The first dance was performed by students from Myanmar. The event came to a climax when the Indonesian students played an instrument originated from Indonesia called ‘Gamelan’. The performance was conducted by a lecturer of UTP. Besides, there were also performances from many other countries such as Bangladesh, Sudan, India, Yemen, Pakistan, Mozambique and etc. This year, the audience were lucky because they got the opportunity to see the famous Malaysian singer, Awi Rafeael performing live in UTP Chancellor Hall.

            The event was also participated by teachers and students from SMK Adela and SMK Tanjung Datuk from Pengerang, Johor. According to a teacher named Pn.Hartini bt Mohd Hidzir from SMK Adela, she said that she learnt about the diversity of culture from the performances. The event was also participated by PETRONAS staff from Stakeholders Management Pengerang Integrated Complex. According to Mohammed Rizzuan, one of the PETRONAS staffs, he used to study in Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) and he said that they have the same international cultural night like UTP. However, unlike his university there is no restriction for female students in UTP to unleash their talent during the event.

Minggu Mesra Kampus Jan 15 by Anita Leong

Minggu Mesra Kampus Jan 15 (MMK)

By Anita Leong Su Juan, Foundation 3^rd , CE

Pocket D, 27^th-29^th January 2015 – Minggu Mesra Kampus, fondly known as MMK was back again this January where all the clubs or organizations and even some of the upcoming events had set up their booths to be promoted to UTP staffs as well as students.

It is held every semester to create awareness on the existence of the clubs in order to attract the students to get involved in extra-curricular activities. This also helps to realise UTP’s vision of producing well-rounded students in terms of both academic and co-curricular activities.

This time, there were roughly around 40 clubs participating to make MMK a successful one, not forgetting to name a few main clubs or societies such as Students Representative Council (MPPUTP), Rakan Masjid UTP, Media and Technology (MEDTECH) Club and also Residential College Support Unit (RCSU). The organizing committee of MMK had invited few vendors to Pocket D to make it merrier and most importantly, to quench students’ thirst as well as to satisfy one’s hunger.

Looking forward for Minggu Mesra Kampus May 15! Thumbs up to the organizing committee and also to those who came and visited MMK booths throughout that three days as your presence has contributed to the success of MMK Jan 15!
