KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 – The Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), successfully held its Final Year Project (FYP) Symposium 2025, highlighting the research achievements and technical innovations of 157 graduating students across four academic programs.
Final-year students from the Bachelor of Electronic Systems Engineering (ESE), Bachelor of Mechanical Precision Engineering (MPE), Bachelor of Chemical Process Engineering (CPE), and Bachelor of Software Engineering (SE) programs showcased their projects through poster presentations. The event marked the culmination of months of research, experimentation, and academic dedication — developed within MJIIT’s ikohza research group ecosystem.
The symposium was graced by the presence of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Roshafima Rasit Ali, Deputy Dean of Academic and Student Affairs; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shahrum Shah Abdullah, Deputy Dean of Research, Innovation, Commercialization and Linkages; and Prof. Dr. Kanao Fukuda, Deputy Dean of Liaison and Internationalization. Their collective support reflects MJIIT’s strong emphasis on nurturing students with research capabilities and professional readiness.
This year’s event brought together a total of 145 evaluators, comprising 50 industry professionals, 5 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) technical chapter experts, and 90 academic panelists. These evaluators provided students with a rich blend of academic depth and industry-relevant feedback.
Adding international stature to the event was the presence of Daido Kogyo Co. Ltd., Japan, represented by Hideaki Seki, Masashi Nishikawa, and Sora Nishiyama. Their direct engagement as co-supervisors reflected the long-standing collaboration between MJIIT and its Japanese industrial partners.
The symposium was further distinguished by the support of five IEEE Malaysia Chapters, namely the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), IEEE Photonics Society, IEEE Antennas & Propagation / Microwave Theory & Techniques / EMC Joint Chapter (AP/MTT/EMC), IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS), and IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES). Each chapter contributed to project evaluations and presented an IEEE FYP Special Award to outstanding submissions that demonstrated originality, innovation, and strong potential for real-world impact.
The symposium was also recognised as a key developmental milestone for students, as emphasized by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Roshafima Rasit Ali in her address. The experience not only marked the end of their undergraduate journey but also served as a stepping stone into future pathways — be it in industry, research, or entrepreneurship.
The FYP Symposium 2025 stands as another proud milestone in MJIIT’s mission to produce globally competent graduates, deeply grounded in research, innovation, and practical engagement.
Congratulations to all graduating students and their supervisors for an inspiring showcase of talent, resilience, and research excellence.
