EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) CENTRE KUALA LUMPUR

On 7th December 2024, a group comprising 14 engineering students and 6 lecturers visited the ESG (ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE) Centre in Kuala Lumpur. The visit aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of sustainable practices and governance principles, providing an invaluable opportunity for experiential learning. It’s aligned with EAC 2024 manual that emphasize the requirement of sustainability knowledge and assessment within the courses and program. The presentation during the visit was conducted by Haji Ismail bin Abdullah, President and Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) of International Green Trends Cockpit (IGTC) Sdn. Bhd. His expertise and approachable manner significantly enhanced the learning experience for all participants.    The ESG Centre was conceptualized by YBhg. Datuk Seri PMgr Sr Haji Kamarulzaman Bin Mat Salleh, the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, as a demonstration of DBKL's (Kuala Lumpur City Hall) commitment to global sustainability and support for ESG frameworks. The Centre was officiated by YB Dr. Zaliha Binti Mustafa, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), on 1st August 2024. The Center's key roles include serving as a reference hub for ESG programs, providing up-to-date insights on carbon reduction initiatives, and acting as the first "Sustainability Insights" center established by local authorities and government agencies. Additionally, it mentions its role in greenhouse gas inventory management, facilitating stakeholder relations, and encouraging self-learning through its design and circulation concepts. This infographic is visually appealing, combining simple text with dotted illustrations that emphasize its diverse contributions to ESG efforts. The ESG Centre Kuala Lumpur is designed as a comprehensive hub for advancing sustainability and governance practices. Its concept revolves around: 1. Sustainability Insights: Acting as the first "Sustainability Insights" centre established by local authorities and government agencies, the Centre offers expert knowledge and data on sustainability challenges and solutions. 2. Educational Platform: Providing self-learning opportunities through interactive exhibitions, workshops, and digital resources that promote a deeper understanding of ESG principles. 3. Carbon Reduction Initiatives: Serving as a dissemination center for information and initiatives related to carbon reduction, climate change adaptation, and environmental stewardship. 4. Collaboration Network: Facilitating connections between corporations, government agencies, and community organizations to support ESG-driven collaborations and partnerships. 5. Data and Research Hub: Housing resources like the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management System (GIMS), which supports transparent reporting and research in ESG compliance. 6. Innovative Design: Incorporating a forward-thinking architectural concept that emphasizes functionality, circulation, and a learning-friendly environment for visitors and stakeholders. The educational visit to the ESG Centre provided multiple benefits for both students and lecturers: 1. Enhanced Knowledge of ESG Principles Participants gained a deeper understanding of the core elements of ESG—environmental responsibility, social equity, and governance transparency—and their relevance to various industries. 2. Practical Exposure Through interactive sessions and case studies, students and lecturers were exposed to real-world applications of ESG practices, such as carbon footprint reduction, ethical labor practices, and corporate governance models. 3. Skill Development Students enhanced their critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills by engaging in group discussions and activities led by the Centre’s experts. 4. Networking Opportunities The visit facilitated connections with professionals and organizations committed to sustainability, providing potential opportunities for internships and future collaborations.    5. Inspiration for Academic and Career Paths Lecturers and students were inspired to incorporate ESG themes into their academic projects, teaching methodologies, and career aspirations, fostering a generation equipped to address sustainability challenges. The visit to the ESG Centre Kuala Lumpur was a highly enriching experience, equipping participants with valuable insights into sustainable practices and ethical governance. It underscored the importance of integrating ESG principles into both personal and professional domains, preparing students to be proactive contributors to a sustainable future. This educational experience will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on all participants, reinforcing the critical role of education in driving meaningful change.   Prepared by: Ms. Siti Nor Baizura Binti Zawawi Ts Dr. Siti Birkha Binti Mohd Ali Ts.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SUBSET OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING PROGRAM?

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be considered a subset or an interdisciplinary domain closely related to Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE). However, it is not exclusively a subset, as AI spans multiple fields, including computer science, mathematics, and data science.

 

How AI relates to Electrical and Electrical Engineering?

AI is integrated into EEE programs because it plays a critical role in automating, optimizing, and enhancing electronic systems and devices. Key areas of overlap include:

Figure 1: Key area of AI integrated into EE programs

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) program plays a crucial role in the evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the growing demand for smart systems and automation, EEE provides the foundation for designing and implementing intelligent hardware and software solutions. The program equips students with skills in circuits, embedded systems, robotics, and signal processing, all of which are essential for AI applications. From developing AI-powered sensors for autonomous vehicles to designing smart grids for energy efficiency, EEE professionals are at the forefront of innovation. AI technologies like machine learning and neural networks are deeply integrated into the engineering curriculum, enabling graduates to create cutting-edge solutions for industries such as healthcare, telecommunications, and renewable energy. In an AI-driven world, EEE programs bridge the gap between traditional engineering and intelligent systems, preparing future engineers to lead the next wave of technological advancements.

LOW CARBON OPERATING SYSTEM VS GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Low Carbon Operating Systems and green technology work hand in hand to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. Green technology provides the tools and innovations, like energy-efficient devices, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles, that help cut down carbon emissions in everyday operations. It supports waste reduction through recycling and waste-to-energy systems and helps create smarter cities with clean energy and sustainable transportation. Industries also benefit from green technologies like carbon capture and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Together, these systems and technologies make it easier to monitor emissions, save resources, and build a greener, healthier future for everyone.

Both Low Carbon Operating Systems (LCOS) and Green Technology are closely interconnected, as both focus on reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. Green technology provides the tools, innovations, and methodologies essential for implementing and enhancing low-carbon operations. Low-carbon systems provide the framework and goals for implementing sustainable practices, while green technology supplies the innovation and tools necessary to achieve these goals.
