ENGINEERING PROFESSION Transcription

00:00 - 00:30 [Music] [Music] good morning continue with the invited lecture okay we have uh together
00:30 - 01:00 with us this morning professor technologist ricky liu chi leong my my my good friend how are you ricky morning prof can you hear me now yes yes loud and clear okay so thank you thank you very much uh professor ricky that uh just to give a brief introduction about about [Music]
01:00 - 01:30 so what is an adjunct professor a young professor is basically we uh the university put translation we invite and appoint a renowned [Music] practitioner from from the industry from the government sector from from other universities that can assist in term our in term of our delivery uh giving advice to the
01:30 - 02:00 to the program and there are so many things and that being being um uh when we when we appoint uh and adjunct professors so uh previously we have other adjunct professors uh but uh uh professor ricky we appoint him in 2018 or or 19 19 19 yeah okay so 2019 so um and just a little bit of of background about
02:00 - 02:30 uh uh yes ricky so he's a licensed aircraft engineers by profession right he's having a category c his large aircraft certificate by the civil aviation authority of malaysia he has vast background i think more than 20 years correct me if i'm wrong i'm trying my very best how how i know
02:30 - 03:00 you he has vast background in working with the aircraft maintenance industry started his early earlier career with malaysia airlines and he moved to um i i think klm if i'm not mistaken yes yes trans trans man and so he has a long history of of uh engineering uh background okay and um recently he
03:00 - 03:30 um already got his graduate engineer registration and all of you probably has already know maybe this is at the time that you know that uh the aircraft uh in aircraft license aircraft maintenance they uh certificate has already been been accepted by the board of engineers to be substantially equivalent meaning that the whoever has the
03:30 - 04:00 certificate of category c license aircraft engineer they can register as a graduate engineer it's equivalent to the bachelor of aerospace engineering right and then of course ts ricky is not graduate engineer by by knowledge lisa he's far far from that that's why we appoint him as the um a young professor and then we have the second category licensed aircraft engineer category b
04:00 - 04:30 with type rating right with upgrading meaning that the the license is specifically to a type of aircraft for example like a3320 or a380 or boeing 737 and so on so those uh category b with typewriting can register as the engineering technologies right it's equivalent to bachelor of engineering technology graduate right and then the last one the last category is uh
04:30 - 05:00 uh licensed aircraft engineer without typewriting b type b without typewriting where they can register as engineering technician equivalent to a diploma holder diploma of engineering diploma engineering holder so we can see that it is a quite a huge uh impact to the aviation industry where the board of engineers malaysia already recognize the qualification and experience
05:00 - 05:30 in the aviation sector especially for the licensed aircraft maintenance community so i believe ts ricky can can explain further about his experience in uh his company now he's the head of engineering of sr aviation and handling many type type rating that's why we call him today just to share the the first lecture for our uh engineers and society so without
05:30 - 06:00 further ado i uh give the floor to uh t.s ricky to give his lecture thank you very much thank you so much professor dr raheem let me just share my slice okay a very good morning to professor dr rahim uh a very good morning to all the fellow uh future engineers here of unisa university putra malaysia
06:00 - 06:30 it is a great honor for me uh to speak to you from subang airport yeah in my hangar and also in my library coming in from a real engineering working environment speaking to the students the third year students that very soon very soon you're gonna graduate and you're gonna go out into the society and make an impact here make an impact to
06:30 - 07:00 the world that we live in now engineers and society are very very closely related and we are part of the society and whatever that we do we actually will make contribution to the society you know so it is a very special it is a very special form of very intimate yeah very intimate kind of relationship between the engineers and society can you imagine today we are able to
07:00 - 07:30 speak i'm able to be i'm able to be in my library in the subang airport and many of you are everywhere across the malaysia and you are able to to despite having the risk of pandemic covet 19 pandemic but we are able to continue with our education with our learning with our classes and on all because of one thing
07:30 - 08:00 it is actually because of the engineers that have designed and developed the technology that allow us to continue to work safely in the society so that is one of the impact that an engineers have to the society we mix solutions yeah we give a lot of solutions to the society to the public to the people now my my session today will be about uh
08:00 - 08:30 one hour and during this one hour what i'm gonna do is that i'm gonna cover a little bit about introduction an introduction of the profession introduction about myself and then i'm going to describe a little bit about the take your true up into the engineering profession and give you show you some of the general image of the engineers yeah in the past and also current yeah and also we're gonna touch about the professionalism
08:30 - 09:00 yeah professionalism of an engineer and how international level indicator how internationally the uh body like united nation like what the prof dr rahim has mentioned just now there are so many uh elements here inside the engineering sustainability of the world that actually engineers are actually part of it engineers are part of it so that is how important the engineers
09:00 - 09:30 are and i'm gonna conclude uh give a short conclusion also yeah also from the united nation actually from unesco that's advice to us and also subsequently i will discuss about uh assignment yeah okay uh this has been a brief uh by professor dr rahim just now so i'm not going to go into this slide again but i want you to know that when we student yeah when we as a
09:30 - 10:00 student when we attend classes yeah you have to be very focused in in terms that you hope that after completion of this particular course yeah you will be able to achieve certain things we we don't want to attend courses because we are asked to attend courses we do not want to attend courses because it has been scheduled by the university we attend courses because we want to achieve certain things and this is the very good learning
10:00 - 10:30 outcome that professor dr rahim has actually given to us so as you continue in your class always review back to this learning outcome are you achieving this or not if you are not yeah find out the reason where you are missing and discuss with uh uh with your fellow course mate and also probably can also discuss with the professor dr rahim which part you know that i think i am not covered enough you know uh you
10:30 - 11:00 you always reflect back and go back into the learning outcome because why at the end of this class you should be able to do certain things yeah as an engineer from this module okay before i take it further yeah before i take it further i want you to quiet down yeah and do a self reflection reflect back into yourself ask yourself why do you
11:00 - 11:30 take up engineering course can you reflect back yourself and think back now you are in the third year remember three years ago or four years ago you applied to upm to take up engineering course can you reflect back what is the reason that you take up engineering course think about it for a short while
11:30 - 12:00 why do you take up engineering costs okay many people take up engineering course uh with different reasons
12:00 - 12:30 with different reasons now if your reason it is not about the passion about engineering you need to be passionate learn to be passionate about engineering because engineering benefit the living beings and the people in the world which means that engineers are problem solvers you must like this you must like using you must like and
12:30 - 13:00 enjoy using mathematical engineering principles you must like that with the skills that you have acquired with the knowledge that you have learned during your four years in upm after four years you have that ability to solve problems of the people in the world whether it is a transportation problem whether it is a construction problem
13:00 - 13:30 whether it is actually a network problem whether it is aircraft problems all these things you have been given the tools the knowledge and the skills so you must use it you must learn to apply it to the society and you need to enjoy it you know because a lot of people pick up
13:30 - 14:00 engineering because somebody asked them to do people take up engineering because they have no other choice but to take up engineering so this kind of mentality or mindset you have to change it you have to change it because why you will if you don't have a passion in engineering you will not excel you will not excel in the engineering field that you are chosen whether it's civil mechanical whether it is materials engineering whether it is aerospace engineering you won't have
14:00 - 14:30 that thing because for an engineer to excel and go very very far just like the person in the picture here elon musk if you want to go as far as like him you can see the strength of his passion in engineering in giving solution to the people the problems has taken him so far has taken him so far so solving problems will be something that you
14:30 - 15:00 enjoy and you use your critical thinking to help solve the small to global issues that we're going to discuss afterwards you enjoy it so a lot of people made the wrong focus they wanted to come into engineering to make money that their primary focus is to make money first come to engineering you know so that they they learn up engineering and go and earn a lot of money there's nothing wrong with it but that
15:00 - 15:30 is the wrong approach your approach should come from the passion in engineering just like eon musk you know he has a very strong technical uh inclination where he actually was so good at his skill and he made his money so money first or is it skill skill first or passion first it is always passion first if you have the passion money will come naturally later but if you focus on the money first then
15:30 - 16:00 you realize that you will be very grumpy you'll be very frustrated because you don't hit the money first but in the first place you don't even have enough skill and passion yet to build that money yeah so make sure that whatever mindset that we have today the reason we take up the engineering course is because we have a very strong passion in engineering and we wanted to solve problems of the people of the society and to benefit the living beings and the
16:00 - 16:30 world especially from the perspective of safety it is very very important that engineers place safety as the number one priority okay now let's go to look at this picture okay how many of you can recognize the people in this picture of course i know everybody uh recognize uh elon musk here on the on the right hand
16:30 - 17:00 uh corner here but the rest of the guys anyone of you can recognize can you just share with me your opinion anyone can recognize just tell me um
17:00 - 17:30 okay um it's good that uh get the yola recognize some of these engineers sometimes when i go presentations when i do presentation and i show this picture to the students and you realize that a lot of students
17:30 - 18:00 can only recognize elon musk number one and then the other person is nikola tesla the rest actually they don't the other one is the the apple uh co-founder uh he he these are the three people that they actually uh recognize now of course yeah these are the uh 12 engineers that we picked up uh from i mean i picked up randomly from the internet but actually
18:00 - 18:30 when we talk about engineers there are a lot of a lot of very very very good engineers who have actually made a very substantial contribution to the way the the to the way we live today the houses that we live the car that we drive the the uh the irrigation system that we have the water treatment plant system that we have they have made a lot
18:30 - 19:00 of contribution you know so the common characteristic of the this group of people here is that they are all engineers and they are all inventors okay they were they were just like any one of us living in the in the common society and actually when they see the inconvenience of people for example on the left this person here nicholas otto you know you know we initially there
19:00 - 19:30 were riding horses right in the in the 19th century in the early centuries we were riding horses and all those but how many horses are there to to actually for people to ride and only the rich can afford the horses so he came up with the internal combustion engine when we have a internal combustion engine then we talk about we have motorcycles and we also have cars and automotive so us even even up to today
19:30 - 20:00 the uh um his uh his design of internal combustion engine is also being used by the people even till today we talk about mercedes we talk about proton we talk about you know all these vehicles have internal combustion engine can you imagine today if we don't have internal combustion engine we do not have nicholas otto who actually came up with the internal combustion engine can you imagine what we'll have today
20:00 - 20:30 are we still riding horse or are we still walking on the road yeah so this is the common characteristic of people that actually brings benefit to people like us you today for about 48 or 50 of you all here congratulations you are part of this group of people do you see your importance do you see do you feel that that that
20:30 - 21:00 the importance of the the pride that you have being able to be a c university student doing a engineering course which with another one year or two years one or two years time you'll be graduating going into the society do things like what they have been doing so it is a very special breed of people yeah that engineers can design can invent something that actually uh
21:00 - 21:30 bring a benefit to people and guess what guess what don't think don't ever think that maybe all the design no more finish ready you know don't ever think that you know what else there's so many things has been created and designed by engineers what else is there no no no no there's a lot of things that is still not developed yet that require people like you and me to continue to give inputs into the society to all the companies to all
21:30 - 22:00 the engineering manufacturing companies yeah so it is it is very important to think about what the world our life will be if there is no com internal combustion engine what happens if there's no electricity for example nikola tesla came up with the ac power system imagine today in this world we do not have an ac power system and if we are still on the dc only
22:00 - 22:30 what is the impact throughout the way we live we will cause a lot of inconvenience a wastage of a lot of resources but nikola tesla came up with the alternating current and actually distribute to the whole grid and the network system today we can enjoy we have uh online classes we have good lightings we have a good uh street lamps and all those so can you imagine without life without an
22:30 - 23:00 engineers for example aircraft you know we used to travel by road we used to travel by ship all right imagine imagine in 19 in the 1903 you know 1903 some of you are aerospace engineers here in 1903 one of the greatest design and invention and engineer the wright brothers
23:00 - 23:30 make a such a huge impact a very revolutionary flight control design before that people has been trying to fly and fly people die people break the leak freak the bones and all those it was only the wright brothers that came out with the flying machine heavier than air putting on a engine on his onto his small little plane and he fly and he managed to control
23:30 - 24:00 given the directional control pitch control roll control on the airplane is because from that point onwards a small little design that actually bring us to what we have today we have the best airplane in the world we can fly from europe you know from malaysia to london in less than uh 12 hours 11 hours because of what engineer like orville and wilbur
24:00 - 24:30 wright discovered and designed so you can you can see that engineers basically will actually cost a lot of a lot of convenience and growth into the society your inputs yeah your inputs your knowledge your skill the way you think the way you behave the way you comply to the rules and regulations benefit the society that is how
24:30 - 25:00 important engineers are that is how important engineers are so engineers and society cannot be separated one so we actually have a duty of responsibility we actually have a duty of care yeah we've because we have not not everybody can study engineering one but right now not everybody can study engineering people must be good in mathematics
25:00 - 25:30 people must meet certain level of requirements and criterias then only you qualify to come into upm and start your year one program not everybody so it is a group of privileged people that you have the knowledge the skills especially your mathematics mathematical skill plus your ability to solve complex problems engineers solve complex problems what is complex
25:30 - 26:00 problems for example for example the climate you know the climate that is getting hotter and hotter what kind of houses or what kind of an air conditioning system what kind of cooling system that room that we can design but will not harm the environment this becomes a complex problem it sounds simple you know what kind of airplanes yeah what kind of airplanes that we can
26:00 - 26:30 design that doesn't produce carbon dioxide emission that will actually pollute the environment this is a complex problem so engineers have the knowledge skills and ability to actually solve this complex problem with some engineering solutions for example i recently saw
26:30 - 27:00 that we have this electrical electrical vehicle of course electrical vehicle is definitely good yeah electrical vehicle cars are definitely good because they don't have this uh gas emission but another group of engineers yeah another group of engineers came up with another new design and technology which is actually using yeah hydrogen
27:00 - 27:30 hydrogen to produce electrical electrical power to power electric cars and the by-product is water you know the by-product is water so this is also another innovation new kind of technology that another engineer came up then you then my question to you can you come up with a third alternative of four alternative or fifth alternative
27:30 - 28:00 engineers kenya if you put your if you put your focus your knowledge you will be helping the people in the world you know especially in terms of sustainability especially in terms of conserving preserving our resources don't waste our resources save the resources for our future generation because the resources of this entire earth it is only about that much so we are talking about
28:00 - 28:30 engineers and sustainability and the society becomes very very important we can build a lot of things we can design and build a lot of things but in the course of your design and developing let's say a metallic structure construction a strong one but if you keep on consuming you know the uh the earth resources then eventually we don't have the resources anymore for other things yeah so if you look at this slide here
28:30 - 29:00 you can see mr bean yeah mr bean but do you know that mr bin is also an engineer by by training i think you all know right so engineers have so much of capability apart from actually designing things solving complex problems they can also be okay can also get involved in other profession yeah okay now um one of the uh one of the recent uh incident that uh i
29:00 - 29:30 will share with you uh uh with y'all now is that um i think many of you have actually watched the united airlines uh engine fire they all know that two months ago about two months ago there was a seven trees as triple seven uh went into uh flu in the air and it actually exploded the right engine actually uh the fan blade actually uh fractured and then it causes a fire
29:30 - 30:00 on on the engine um okay can you imagine a pratt and vinnie a triple seven a tried and rene engines yeah that is so powerful yeah giving about 70 000 pounds of thrust so powerful at take off power and with such a high power the engine frame the engine defended fractured and cut off the whole the whole nose cone yeah the inlet cone
30:00 - 30:30 of the of the engine and actually it just dropped off and despite the heavy vibration and the heavy fire burning despite the whole aircraft was shaking the air the pilot has to shut down the the engine and the fire was burning and it is very close to the fuel tank guess what the airplane came in and landed
30:30 - 31:00 safely all people on board safely landed no injury everyone was actually in good condition now what can you say about this what can you say about this this uh this uh this uh incident i can only say the engineers that designed this airplane did an excellent job because he has
31:00 - 31:30 prepared in case of the engine failure and explosion even though there is a fire the aircraft will still be very safe to fly and land with no injury to the passenger this is an excellent design about the skills and the knowledge that that design engineers have you you can be one of them as well
31:30 - 32:00 yeah now in the past centuries yeah in the past even thousands of years ago you know uh 2000 years ago you know people has been starting to design things yeah now if you look at this like here can you tell me on the pointer that i'm pointing now can you tell me who designed this it's a
32:00 - 32:30 very very smart uh very smart and simple design that actually solves our problem to carry the water for irrigation you know instead of using pill going through and after the to the river just to carry water with your hand this one very simple they just use the screw and they just turn turn turn turn turn and the water keep coming up rather than getting the pill walk down to the river come back to the river walk down to the river and come back to the
32:30 - 33:00 river as long as you turn it the water will come out can you tell me who is the engineer who designed designed this uh this thing anybody and in fact this design here in some of the rural areas in malaysia yeah very very rural areas we can still see people using this design taking up the water from the river right
33:00 - 33:30 up to the place where they can collect the water easily any idea who designed this nobody want to try this is actually done by archimedes it is actually called archimedes screw okay it was done it was designed by archibald archimedes about 300
33:30 - 34:00 years with bc about 300 years bc you see a simple design like this actually can solve our water problem our human limitation in terms of carrying pale and pills and water we can solve the problem all you have to do is actually just turn the thing the the archimedes screw the water come up with a pill underneath and then just move on put a pill underneath just move on and activate the mean archimedes here the engineer archimedes also developed the pulley system
34:00 - 34:30 the you know the pulley when we pull up the the lift up the heavy stuff who came up with the pulley system it is actually archimedes so solving you know people cannot even carry more than more than 50 kilograms are already already having very hard already archimedes came up with a pulley system can carry one person can actually pull and lift hundreds of kilos isn't it a engineering contribution
34:30 - 35:00 of course nowadays of course nowadays we we don't use so much of this archimedes crew because why because engineers came up with a water pump water pump rather than using a archimedes screw engineers has designed and developed a pump using electrical power all you have to do is to switch off the switch on the electrical pump and then you actually bring the water
35:00 - 35:30 from a very very far distance to wherever you want just install the piping and the and the routing of the pipe you will get water up on the 30th floor 50 floor you know a very far 20 kilometers away 50 kilometers away so that actually solves the limitation of archimedes screw so this is an engineering contribution this is engineering contribution for example the uh construction the
35:30 - 36:00 the housing construction that we have today if it is not because there is a civil engineers yeah who are good in designing houses who are good in designing a good structural uh uh houses for the buildings and all those we wouldn't be have we wouldn't be have the metropolitan city that we have today we wouldn't be have we wouldn't have a house that we are staying today you know we wouldn't have a nice you know nice big block of buildings in the city
36:00 - 36:30 you know where people can go in and you know have their offices and all those imagine that contribution to the society and of course of course uh the uh the world famous one is actually the henry ford yeah the team moto series you can see from the car here you know that actually revolutionized the way we travel the way we travel
36:30 - 37:00 we used to be you know a riding bicycle you know uh riding horses and because of henry ford yeah they came up with a t model of the car you realize that subsequently there's so many bmw came out mercedes bay came out in the german in the euro and the american famous for the t model and we were able to travel conveniently fast for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers today because of the the automotive automotive
37:00 - 37:30 vehicles that we actually designed but mind you yeah mind you human being yeah human being always have the the uh the tendency to explore further and further and further and that is where we came you know moving fast forward we actually gone into the rocket technology we design rockets we design in rockets that are flying machines that not only fly to moon but even fly to mass
37:30 - 38:00 how many of you have watched the recent landing yeah of the uh mass rover in in february anyone of your watch yeah okay that that is actually a magnificent achievement of the human beings why if that expedition
38:00 - 38:30 actually allows human being to actually explore further to find new avenues for people to stay for to find revenue full of resources maybe we have that on the planet that we have on mass there were other minerals you know that can actually be brought back to the earth and also to be used you know on earth so all these all these are possible
38:30 - 39:00 because of engineering because of engineering without engineering this is not possible yep now engineering it is not just about designing and get things done only you have to understand our position in this society we have
39:00 - 39:30 a ethics ethical responsibility towards them you see engineers can design things that benefit people but engineers who are irresponsible can also cause a lot of damages to the society and this is what we do not want we want engineers who are responsible in shaping how the society look in
39:30 - 40:00 shaping how the world the infrastructure the the these systems yeah how it benefit the people positively do you know do you know that when before the arrival of dc power before nicola tesla implement his ac power system in new
40:00 - 40:30 york what was the primary power at that time what is the primary electricity power in new york at that time before nikola tesla what i'm saying is that during thomas edison time what is the primary source of electrical power any idea it is actually the dc power
40:30 - 41:00 thomas edison time was using primarily on the dc power but because the the the a lot of losses of the dc power so they have to build a lot of dc powered stations along around the new york city and this dc power has one disadvantage because there's so much of connection and wiring the horses here in new york at that time when they step on those dc wires sometimes and quite occasionally
41:00 - 41:30 they actually get get the jolt of electricity so what happened is that the horse are always you know being in the very wild condition when they get the joke they will actually become very wild you know so this is actually a social economy problem this is a problem that until until nikola tesla came up with the ac system a new laying of the grid and the wire
41:30 - 42:00 system into the new york that actually solved the problem so now my question here is when we when we design our systems when we produce our technology as an engineer we are always thinking about what is the effect and the impact to the society how safe are they to the people how safe are they to the environment
42:00 - 42:30 how safe is our system to the user you know how safe is it to the user all these are key important points yeah that we actually need to know if you look at the the the diagram that we have here yes engineers are the key people in building us modernized society yes engineers are the people who actually built the strong infrastructure for our
42:30 - 43:00 convenience of living but if you look at the picture on the right hand side this happened quite nearby to subhan airport a few years ago the bridge collapsed why did the bridge collapse and kill the workers underneath did we even thought about that when we first designed this bridge when we get implement our design did we even look at the system whether it is
43:00 - 43:30 safe or not because we did not we were not careful that bridge collapsed and one one person died underneath the bridge now same on this picture yes we want we want to produce power we want to produce industrialized nation but remember the industry that you design the process that you develop is it
43:30 - 44:00 producing a lot of gases guesses greenhouse gases if your greenhouse gases is producing too much what is it going to do to our earth our earth is going to get warmer and warmer and warmer and that is a big big problem even a 1 degree centigrade looks like not much but actually a 1 degree centigrade
44:00 - 44:30 rise temperature rise on earth has a very very strong impact to the way we live so can engineers come up with more sustainable kind of design yes we can but we have to be responsible we must be ethical okay now what are the econ engineer social responsibilities here how how do you carry yourself
44:30 - 45:00 as an engineer with a strong social responsibility and we are like that and we must be like that we don't let commercial pressure business pressure you know because of other you know a personal business kind of achievement or target they want to achieve they press you they pressure you so that you you comply to what they need because they employ you no as an engineer the number
45:00 - 45:30 one thing you need to do is you are an engineer you uphold the dignity as an engineer many years ago many years ago it was during the election time an airplane actually came back and i went ahead and looked at the airplane it was during the election period where the airplane was carrying vips i went and looked to the airplane and i checked the system interrogate the system and i said this aircraft is grounded and cannot fly
45:30 - 46:00 and i told the management the top management i said this airplane is not safe therefore i am not releasing this airplane to fly they came down to me hey ricky you cannot do this it is an election time you know this is dr siri something something he must be at the certain place otherwise the election would have gone election is gonna lose he cannot push his campaign
46:00 - 46:30 dignity uphold as an engineer i said this aircraft is not safe to fly i'm very sorry for the inconvenience it you have to find alternative you will either you go and grab a helicopter or go on transport or ground transport or postpone your campaign or whatever but as far as i'm concerned this aircraft is not safe to find and actually i'm protecting the aircraft and also the people
46:30 - 47:00 uphold the dignity i'm very sure one of these days when you go into big companies they want targets they want objectives they will pressure you you as an engineer come come come you you you all you have to do is just sign this off then we can actually produce these products we have a time pressure uphold the dignity look at the requirements whether it is safe enough okay so do not violate the requirements of engineering design
47:00 - 47:30 don't violate it yeah safety is always the priority then only we talk about other things financial you know privacy like diversity aesthetics like you know want to look nicely always start with the safety first without passing through the safety level don't go to the next stage that is the engineer's uphold of dignity okay number two engineer social responsibility fulfill the design products uh uh design a product process
47:30 - 48:00 or product that may have side effects yeah you have to fulfill the design carefully that means that you do not want that you design something but then it is actually not safe on all they have other byproducts for example you can design you can design a very nice very nice a sewerage system yeah let's say you're a civil engineer
48:00 - 48:30 or a water environmental engineer you design a very nice silvery system but then in your design the cost of maintaining this sewer system is very very high and you know municipal you know the majority per pandaran the government have a restricted budget then you have to consider is there any other possible ways that we can actually design the silverage system in the in a
48:30 - 49:00 much more cost effective and practical ways this is also our our responsibility same also for the effect and all those yeah negative effects to the environment you must consider it okay now you will also make here provisions for the consequences of the design failure yes you are good you understand the system you understand how to design how the load path should move how the
49:00 - 49:30 how the systems stay what is the load a safety load factor in your design it is good but you must also remember to give provision in the consequences of failure you must for example apollo 1 fire okay anyone knows what happened on apollo 1 fire do you all know what happened on apollo 1 in 1967 the engineers in nasa engineers are very
49:30 - 50:00 good very good but they miss this element number three here that i mentioned i'm mentioning here do you know what happened on apollo one yes okay what happened is that they designed a very good system and during the testing of the apollo 1 yeah pre-launching testing there was actually a high voltage in one of the circuit and because because yeah
50:00 - 50:30 the capsule always have pure oxygen correct so they have a lot of pure oxygen in the in the capsule and they were three of them were inside and that high power that actually created a fire and all three of them burn life a day because because it was fed by the rich oxygen environment in the command module so this these are the things that you have as an engineer what if this failed
50:30 - 51:00 are they safe or not what if uh system number two or system number one fail what is the backup all this we need to know yeah it is our responsibility and then if there is a failure in the design you know you have put in so much hard work you design let's say a aerodynamic system a store warning system that is so good but you realize that eventually it actually is not working you do not hesitate to stop and then
51:00 - 51:30 let's go back to the design board let us go back to the design board and we look at the thing again you know even though you have already spent two years that is our responsibility do you know that the boeing 737 max incident have this problem do you know eventually they realize after the two crashes how come there is only a single angle of effect sensor on the 737 max
51:30 - 52:00 why why is there no redundancy why is there no duplication of the system and that actually killed 300 over people and during the investigation during the investigation they buying a ceo and was being asked didn't you ask yourself why is that single sensor and not two sensors and that single sensor plus the mcas system
52:00 - 52:30 yeah is the one that actually caused the whole aircraft to actually crash and 300 watt people died so do not hesitate if you need to redesign and go back into the system go back to the drawing board as a responsible engineer we have to do it because safety of the people is always our number one priority okay and then also the fifth one is that have a clear sense of the meaning and understanding of the evolution of the role of engineering technology
52:30 - 53:00 every time there is a evolution of technology for example for example we can see recently the destructive technology understand the implication to the people understand how this thing can use to benefit people and also also see things how it can actually be abused by people so we engineers putting protective system you know come up with a protective system so that people are all well taken care
53:00 - 53:30 of all the time for example i just give you example today we want to prevent pollution because of the greenhouse effect we want to protect the earth people are trying to find ways to produce hydrogen use hydrogen you know as a source of as a source of power you know so you can see from this diagram on the left on the right hand corner top here toyota actually is using the cow manure uh cow
53:30 - 54:00 manure means uh uh what they call it uh to actually use cow dung and process and get the hydrogen out get the hydrogen out so this is actually something that i think engineers can do law yeah in order to actually protect the environment using cow manure can you imagine that actually it was told that uh based on the reader that i had one year the uh the the cow manual or
54:00 - 54:30 the calf manual a certain portion of it can actually produce power to produce hydrogen for one year for for for a car that is how people have tapped the resources this is engineer's workload yeah now the other issues that i think we have to address here is that we are facing every day exactly the environmental issue that we have we are having now okay for sealed cars yeah is good
54:30 - 55:00 it has been helping us to move easy here and there we are able to go to shop we go to we are able to travel airplanes also the same thing we are having a a triple 7 a380 you know 747 and all 787 all this has created convenience to us has been designed and developed convenient to us but we are also facing another issue now
55:00 - 55:30 and this issue is actually very right spoken environmental issues when we talk about environmental issues what are we talking about now when we talk about environmental issues what are we talking about we are talking about the greenhouse gas emissions from the factories yeah from the industrialized nation we have a lot of factories these factories aren't unnecessary
55:30 - 56:00 because we are going into the industrial we are in the industrialized nation we need to produce and develop items you know products but factories are producing greenhouse gases plants are uh when we talk about plants we are talking about production plants producing uh greenhouse gases we are talking about vehicles uh producing a greenhouse gases and
56:00 - 56:30 engineers today engineers today especially those we are talking about using recyclable energy we are talking about clean energy using electricity we are talking about solar power energy yeah that a lot of engineers are developing all these are alternative the engineers can do to actually help to save the environment eventually what do we want to achieve we
56:30 - 57:00 want to achieve a clearer sky clearer and cleaner skies we want to find i mean we have cleaner seas clean waters and rivers you know do you know that by just by one degrees of centigrade yeah we will lost about one degrees rise centigrade in the earth above 70 percent 70 of the world population will lost the water you lost water all one degree rice your crops yeah
57:00 - 57:30 your food crops for example your jargon yeah your jargon will grow but cannot have jaguar just because of one degree of temperature rise so you see anything that we produce industry from the engineering perspective we make sure that we protect the environmental okay now this ng this is a this is a session that um uh happened after the jp 610
57:30 - 58:00 the first 737 max crash because of the the wrong design or the bad design i was actually called call for the interview on one of the online radio station and we discussed about the responsibility of the engineer the responsibility of engineer of course on that day it was actually a day where i discussed about if i'm an aircraft engineer uh in in in the line and now what will i do
58:00 - 58:30 if i encounter a problem like what uh what happened on jt610 do you know that jt610 the stall warning system of the aircraft did not happen once or twice it happened already a few sectors ahead it already happened a few sectors ahead when it came to the engineer in actually in denpasar in bali you know the engineer just as a normal
58:30 - 59:00 uh do a regular checks and then he released the airplane he released the airplane now my question here is like this if you're an engineer and this aircraft has been flying for the last seven eight sectors giving the stall stick sticker warning every sector the engineer on the ground say ground test uh pass no fault found you know if they
59:00 - 59:30 repeatedly do the same thing and it reached to you as the seventh sector or the eighth sector and you are the engineer who is receiving the airplane are you going to say ground test pass no fault found and then release the airplane back no you cannot the problem is the problem is you do not know what is the problem with the airplane
59:30 - 60:00 so as an engineer this is our responsibility this is our responsibility like i said do not hesitate do not hesitate if the safety of the airplane and the people is involved ground the airplane never mind even if i lose the job it's okay because why uphold the dignity of an engineer that is our duty yeah
60:00 - 60:30 okay so this is actually the uh the carbon uh dioxide emission yeah coming out from the uh coming out from the uh the from the water and you can see from the 1900 onwards yeah all the co2 has keep on rising and rising and rising and rising and all this one degree is all it matters one degrees heat wave duration you get strong heat wave rainstorm intensity
60:30 - 61:00 sea level rise you know the sea become very very rough unstabilized you know all this the coral reef will be wiped out crops cannot grow you know fresh water would actually be reduced so remember any any work that we involve as an engineer think think about what we do what we design the process that we develop how we actually lay out the infrastructure
61:00 - 61:30 what is the impact to the society to the people okay so in under the environment and issues engineers have a lot of responsible the most important thing is sustainable sustainable so you will have social responsible environmental responsible economic responsible you have uh that eventually is that engineers need to think beyond regular tasks you need to actually think and incorporate the elements of sustainability
61:30 - 62:00 sustainability means you have preserved the resources you know prevent any wastage so that the future generation yeah can actually do with what we have in the limited resources yeah so concept of sustainable engineering is that it is a process of using resources in a way that do not compromise the environment engineers have that responsibility or deplete the materials for future generations we don't do this okay we are very careful with this
62:00 - 62:30 it requires an internal interdisciplinary approach in all aspects of engineering it is not just about civil engineering it is not just about the structural engineering no it is all the engineers whether you are electrical electronics whether you are manufacturing whether you are in the civil whether you are in environmental engineering whether you are in the aerospace sectors all this is our responsibility together we have to uphold this this uh responsibility in ensuring that sustainability is
62:30 - 63:00 is always there to improve the quality of the life for all okay uh okay this is uh this is a a few things that i add on a little bit i just add on a few more slides few more minutes now people think how do i do sustainability how how do i do it okay i know the skills i know the knowledge so this graph this table here will show you what are the men the sustainable measure okay design that
63:00 - 63:30 reduce energy use or emission law design complying with the environmental standard and regulation so you need to read the law like what prophet rahim has actually said look at the board of engineers the act look at the law yeah so we need to understand and comply to the law design using renewable recyclable materials designed that reduce material that reduce material waste in
63:30 - 64:00 manufacturing designed with non-toxic materials designed with low carbon footprints manufacturing with less energy natural resources all these that you can see here will give you an indication how you how do you fulfill your responsibility in terms of sustainability as an engineer yeah it's all here in dislikes okay now most likely are the factors influencing organizing to use green design process and procedures
64:00 - 64:30 number one regulatory requirements please comply to the rules and the regulations the client demands a lot of people nowadays are more and more aware about the environmental factors in our life so if your client do not understand we as a engineers take up our responsibility responsibility and educate them share with them you know because they might not have the knowledge but you we have yeah share with them what is the the constraints what is the the limitations if we design
64:30 - 65:00 like this i would suggest we design like this you know these kind of things yeah so rising energy cost ability to gain market advantage and most of all please make sure regulatory requirements is very important to our to be as engineers here now this is the conclusion slides this is exactly from unesco yeah you can actually find it in the uh in the united nations website exactly like what the
65:00 - 65:30 prophet dr rahim has mentioned just now all of us yeah in the industry as far as i know people that i know we are very particular we are very focused on this uh this uh what they call this uh concept of sustainability india so united nation told us to through creating and maintaining the physical infrastructure this is engineer's job that help eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
65:30 - 66:00 you see what we do can help eradicate poverty and hunger achieve universal primary education see what we can do we can actually because of what we do can actually help to achieve primary education for a lot of pro-poor and undeveloped countries reduce child mortality you know we don't want people people to die at young young age improve maternal health parents are getting healthier women's are getting healthier engineers you see see the word here
66:00 - 66:30 engineers are demonstrating their social and environmental responsibility to sustainably develop societies so the key word here coming back to the engineers again all right you can see from now how we how we can impact the society just like how nikola tesla how archimedes how ortho uh uh nicholas also impacted the the society we
66:30 - 67:00 you and me are also yeah can do the same we are part of the part of the group so i would be i'm very happy i'm very happy that we have a group of very vertical enthusiastic uh engineering students in upm because to me malaysia meet you and the world need us
67:00 - 67:30 okay so that actually ends uh ends my uh ends my presentation yeah any questions so far before i go to the assignment i mean they're sharing the assignment the assignment will be uh will be by uh dr rahim i'm just sharing some some assignment uh questions okay any questions so far okay now if there's no question i just go through the next assignment these are the assignments that i've
67:30 - 68:00 put in and dr ryan have this assignment as a responsible engineer described how should design and implementation of sustainable engineering work be carried out to maintain a social economic well-being of living beings yeah this one is a is a very much tally with what uh prof prophet dr rahim go out and do certain projects yeah this is actually related to what prof raheem has mentioned just now yeah describe what is your role in your
68:00 - 68:30 engineering field in responding to society needs as well as shaping them up realistically yeah they are talking about sustainability here from the perspective of sustainability engineering development impacted our life daily would the societal consequences this is a a discussion here would the societal consequence have a different if engineers has been involved in the more systematic study of engineering corporate complex role in the society had a work dialogue session with social
68:30 - 69:00 scientists and have better communication with public that means that if let's say the government want to implement certain projects did they actu is it better for to for them to engage the engineers to come in have a discussion you know dialogue session before they really start their projects really make a better environment a better outcome or better output so this is exactly what the question is all about yeah and responsible engineers
69:00 - 69:30 yeah be responsible uh uh engineers at the end of the day let's be the responsible engineers at the end of the day and that actually concludes my presentation and i would like to uh hand hand over the uh the mic back to uh professor dr rahim thank you so much for your attention but i would like to open um a discussion um for or any question to
69:30 - 70:00 professor ricky and i think he he has a lot of thing to share with this very limited time okay so any any input or question from from all of you anybody anybody would like to start first okay what are the requirements needed for license as a practicing
70:00 - 70:30 engineer so maybe ricky would like to try to answer first thank you so much for the question yeah okay licensed engineers are if we are talking from the aircraft maintenance perspective uh licensed aircraft engineers are actually a special kind of a program that the graduates here can actually uh take up the program it
70:30 - 71:00 is usually about the five years program and the entry requirements uh what i've seen in the past is that we have people who came from a good spm result the people who started at the very young age of the age of 18. we also have people uh graduates here from aerospace engineers who actually after graduating they decided that they they want to take up this aircraft maintenance engineering program they also enroll and we enroll and
71:00 - 71:30 actually take a five years a program to get their license and actually there are a lot of a lot of quite a few aircraft engineers and mechanical engineers after getting the degree they decided to pursue on onto the uh the aircraft for maintenance engineering program so it is actually a choice of the people where depends on where your interest is some people are very good in design like some of you like i think that dr rahim is also one of them
71:30 - 72:00 people are very very good in in coming up with design and all those but there are also a group of people who like to actually uh uh not so much on the uh uh design but they really like to get involved in actually in the operations and handling of the real airplanes so if that is the case then they will have to take another path which is actually strictly controlled by the civil aviation authority in malaysia where you have to start from the zero process and it will take about five years if you are the smart one probably five years you may be
72:00 - 72:30 able to get your license but otherwise usually people take about eight years to get their their license but it is a very uh interesting engineering job uh which i felt that um any people especially for people like you all uh can actually uh think yeah i hope that that answer your your question thank you thank you ricky for the for the answer i think i do not have to elaborate further
72:30 - 73:00 but just uh to highlight to all of you the the one that being mentioned by uh prof uh ricky just now is for the uh license to become an aircraft um maintenance in uh engineer right but uh the most uh important thing is that when you graduate later on in in one year time you have to register as a graduate engineer right so
73:00 - 73:30 by registering with the board of engineers as a registered graduate engineer then you are legally be allowed to work in any engineering field right not just aerospace you can venture into maybe other fields that are related and as stated in the registration of engineers act normally
73:30 - 74:00 the practicing engineer right when you when your background is aerospace you should practice in as an aerospace in the aerospace field so you can go into aeronautical you can go into astronautical you can go to aircraft maintenance you can go to uh aviation management uh so there's uh air traffic control is slightly different so you must practice within your your knowledge
74:00 - 74:30 that you you already learned it's not something that when you register as a graduate engineer you you register as aerospace engineer but you are working as a um what electrical engineer feel it's not it's not it is against the act it is when when the time comes when we cover in term in term of the in in term of the ethics and so on is uh you uh uh
74:30 - 75:00 as uh the engineer must practice according to the knowledge that they already acquired okay it's not that you just simply practicing something that are not in within your field so you are not a civil engineer suddenly you give advice to the um to some people to the society about how to do civil ingenuous work it's not it is against the the the law and it's again the um
75:00 - 75:30 it's against the ethics ethical as a professional engineer so um so the first thing is that get yourself a register as a graduate engineer and then start collecting your work experience in the engineering field right so you require a minimum of three years uh before you are allowed to submit an application to become a professional engineer so once you get the professional
75:30 - 76:00 engineer status you uh then be able to submit documentation to the authority you can do certain things that a graduate engineer cannot do you can supervise other engineers by becoming a professional engineer and right after professional engineer there is another level two uh professional engineer that we call it as the professional engineer with professional with practicing certificate okay where you are then be able to open
76:00 - 76:30 a consulting firm all right okay there are other questions uh from neural ein um ingenious so okay uh i have a question about the engineer's social economic responsibility point of make provisions for design technology failure may i know the details about it how it works can you elaborate a little bit more right
76:30 - 77:00 maybe actually he can answer that okay uh which point which are point number four is it do not hesitate to modify or redesign or is it something okay okay make provisions uh make provision for consequences of design process or technology failure okay now let's say let's say for example you design a wing structure a horizontal wing structure yeah
77:00 - 77:30 now the wing structure has been designed in accordance with the requirements of the authority we know it has a load factor yeah built-in of 1.5 i'm just giving this as an example now no doubt you have do the wind tunnel testing we have done the stress test we have actually did the fatigue test yeah we have done the shear test you know no doubt we have actually done
77:30 - 78:00 all these tests and it actually passed it actually passed yeah but you also have to think about what if what if there is other element that is causing it to crack what if there is a fluttering or vibration after some time we are testing it as a normal cycle cycle of
78:00 - 78:30 structural stress but what about those small small vibration that because of the airloop it actually caused a crack do we have a backup i think we can install a bracket you know i think we can actually develop a bracket and put it in and actually this is exactly what happened to one of our airplane okay now the the horizontal stabilizer of that ring or the horizontal stabilizer of the
78:30 - 79:00 airplane has been designed perfectly well no problem you know airplane has been flying and all those but recently this one two years ago we realized that one of this very small bracket that is actually holding one of the fairing because of the very very small vibration it actually cracked it actually cracked but that crack did not cause
79:00 - 79:30 any catastrophe that crack did not cause any flight characteristic changes of the airplane and it was the inspection period that we came two years every two years when we opened up we actually saw two cracks two cracks and that crack is long three inches four inches it's long but how come the system is still safe
79:30 - 80:00 because of the additional bracket they put it in so this is what it meant make provision for consequences of design failure that means they have missed that small little vibration part but they thought let's put in a bracket just to make sure that in case in case there is some other load that is actually coming into the structure the bracket will take the load and crack so the bracket crack but not the main
80:00 - 80:30 structure crack this is what we meant make provision for consequences of design failure so this is another example yeah so i i don't know whether you can understand what i'm trying to say a very good explanation nikki i hope narayan can appreciate that about the item on make provision for consequences of design or process or technology failure
80:30 - 81:00 okay another question by um kisho but uh we must register within one year of graduation the answer is yes basically immediately once you get your degree certificate you have all your transcript you have to register yourself i encourage everybody to register with board of engineers it's only 50 ringgit for life it's not yearly it's just one
81:00 - 81:30 time one time you pay 50 ringgit and you already get registered you do not have to renew every year and the reason why you have to register just upon graduation is that you do not lose the experience right and of course there are two things here one is the losing experience what what do we mean by losing experience that if you would like to if you if you register the the first day that you graduate
81:30 - 82:00 graduated uh from university potramination later on your experience will be counted right let's say uh and it register your experience will be counted towards your three years um working experience as an engineer and before you are going to be considered to uh be able to apply for professional status as a professional engineer to carry the ir status if in the case that you do not register
82:00 - 82:30 right you do not register you wait until 5 years or 10 years then you register the 10 years experience that you already gone through for the past 10 years are not counted because just simply because you do not register yourself that is the first one okay the second item is that if you do not register as a graduate engineer immediately after upon graduation you are the first one the first one is that
82:30 - 83:00 you are not going to be employed okay if you would like to apply for malaysia airport for example they already imposed that any applicant must have a registration with the board of engineers without without your registration as a graduate engineer your application will be just uh thrown away they don't even consider so the petronas already started with it uh galaxy aerospace already started uh
83:00 - 83:30 to take into account about the registration so and many more companies i i hope uh uh ts riki company also can also uh enforce this without the graduate uh registration with the board engineer you are not going to be employed in the case that you are being employed as a [Applause] engineer you are actually working illegally right anyone that um
83:30 - 84:00 let's say you're working as an engineer in a factory or in for example in spirit spirit error system in super right you are not registered yes you are going you are being employed but at any time the enforcement of the registration of engineers act let's say someone report or uh some issues happen at the factory right you yourself can be fined uh 50 a maximum of 50 000 ringgit as i already highlighted
84:00 - 84:30 earlier and the company themselves also going to be fine fifty thousand yet so it's only yeah fifty thousand only is not cheap so that's why uh it's very important for you to register immediately upon graduation so that you get the benefits of being a graduate engineer you're going to be protected by the registration of engineers act it's not just for the public it's also protecting the engineers so uh against uh any illegal
84:30 - 85:00 action right so um i think that that answered the question so any okay yep i'll open up um other question uh ts ricky also very kind enough to provide um exercise or assignment maybe vicky can you turn into the the assignment page just now
85:00 - 85:30 i think the second last page right there are three questions provided by uh t.s vicki so um he asks you to do choose only one right there are three questions there i believe um i will uh create an uh an account in the future of class so that you can submit your answers right so um as i said this is the activity right we have a three hours
85:30 - 86:00 three hour session two hours is the the lecture and one hour is the activity and this particular one our activity is one hour credit is actually three hours activity so uh by but uh looking at the question just now uh you can spend maybe half an hour or one hour to just write with one or two pages of answer right and is it okay ricky one or two pages of answer will be sufficient enough
86:00 - 86:30 uh yes that that is sufficient uh thank you okay um i i suggest that you submit the the answers uh in putra blast later on i will create the uh the platform where you can submit your answer do not have to to spend a lot of time just what you think about uh being your opinion okay for example like question two describe what is your role in engineering field uh in responding to society needs as well as shaping them real realities
86:30 - 87:00 realistically so do not do not just uh do not just uh find it in google so i i i would like you to i would like you to try to express what is your own thought on on the question that being given here right uh maybe uh someone can uh answer it differently maybe other person they can answer it differently so i we would like to see
87:00 - 87:30 what is your thought and based on the lecture given by by ts ricky probably is best uh we will open it until uh until uh submission by next week okay of course is you won't spend a lot of time just half an hour or one hour to just to cook something on the answer and um this is also going to contribute part of the coursework um assessment all right um anything to add on this ricky is it is it okay about the
87:30 - 88:00 submission and everything yeah that's uh that's fine uh prof thank you okay um and one more thing i will also um um edit this particular session and put it in a proper video and then you can refer it refer to it later on and if at your own sweet time maybe before you sleep again uh tonight you can hear the the video again to to help you to answer the question
88:00 - 88:30 given by uh prophecy right um any other question before we end our session is already a two and a half hours um session okay everything good bro yes no question um yes good morning to everyone but this is for ts ricky uh i would like i'm just interested about uh the aircraft engineering um
88:30 - 89:00 work um can you um share about your experience about your routine inspection or uh the aircrafts in malaysia thank you okay um as an aircraft engineer just like any other engineers yeah uh the the primary paradigm the primary paradigm in our mindset is always about safety
89:00 - 89:30 now in order for you uh for us to exercise as aircraft engineers um the the the basic uh foundation of our knowledge is very very crucial for example we must have a very strong understanding of the uh aircraft construction uh aircraft systems and and and and if we talk about aircraft system is actually a quite a huge and complex systems and and and also not only you have a very strong
89:30 - 90:00 foundation and strong system you actually have to be able to actually apply your your skills your thinking skills and also your hand skills hand skills actually the aircraft engineers are practical engineers practical engineers means that we are most of the time we are out on the floor solving uh uh problems uh that is on the on the airplane normal normal routine problems for
90:00 - 90:30 example servicing a component removal panel installation disk check and all this check and next that check this we have the technician that it's actually that supports uh they're doing for us but when the aircraft has faults for example aircraft pressurization system aircraft cannot pressurize no matter how they try to do it in the aircraft in flight they cannot pressurize the system you
90:30 - 91:00 know this thought becomes a fault that the engineers will go in engineers will dive into the system collect all the data from the the parameters of the airplanes do a study and analyze their data and then based on our knowledge and understanding of the operation of the whole aircraft system we must come up with a solution or some potential solution solution number
91:00 - 91:30 one it's like this solution number two is like this solution number three is like this so you can see as an aircraft engineers we are not just about it is not just about inspection it is about how much knowledge you have in the system for you to be able to dive into the system carry on all the analysis and the research before you come up with a conclusion and rectify the aircraft of course the rectification usually will just pass it to the technician to
91:30 - 92:00 replace the thing you know and then after that we're gonna do the system functional test again so there are times there as an engineer we have the authority to call for test flight and i used to call for tesla you know but before i call the test flight call for the test flight where the chief pilot will come in is that i need to be able to explain to them the complete process that has happened and why are we going for this
92:00 - 92:30 test flight so you're talking about life you know if yours if your diagnosis of the system is not good you wouldn't know aircraft takeoff might crash aircraft takeover cannot pressurize you might even end up end up in a in an incident so engineer's role call function is like that that is how we perf how we work of course then of course we have the routine inspection you know every 12 months we have to do this inspection
92:30 - 93:00 you know this servicing you know this routine kind of uh uh horoscope inspection and all those to me that is still not so difficult the most difficult part is the the knowledge the skills and also the understanding of the principle of the whole aircraft system that is complex that is complicated yeah working as an aircraft engineer i felt that
93:00 - 93:30 it is very enjoyable i enjoy my 32 years there are times that i i have to make very important decisions these decisions made yeah it's not about 100 200 000 kind of budget we are talking about multi-million budgets the engineer if you say yes yes this aircraft is acceptable and can be can be purchased it comes from an engineer yeah
93:30 - 94:00 i've already made uh quite a few of these multi-million dollars fly to us check the airplane there four or five airplanes there go to the airplane one by one everybody will claim that the airplane is the best but if you are an engineer you know which is which one is the best one by looking at the aircraft structure by looking at the system by looking at the dirt on the hydraulic lines you know whether this aircraft is very old or this aircraft is
94:00 - 94:30 still relatively quite new these are all things that engineers can can have this this kind of capability but it requires a lot of training a lot of discipline a lot of focus and you must have the passion in the field that you are enough for example i have a very strong passion in aircraft engineering and maintenance and therefore i take it very far you know i take it very very far so
94:30 - 95:00 um it that there is still uh there is still a a good uh industry tool for opening for any other people that is interested i hope i answer your questions thanks thank you thanks ricky thank you bro okay so thank you very much uh ricky and i believe if you have any any other question you can contact rikki uh probably
95:00 - 95:30 through me or ricky you like to share your your your email or you i i can i i can share your email with them right yes okay very good so so anybody would like to uh get uh learn more about akram maintenance especially the uh in malaysia as well as in the world aerospace engineering is not just malaysia or local industry it is a global industry right
95:30 - 96:00 so with that thank you very much ricky for your valuable time and hope that we can also have other sessions with regards to other topics and as i said from time to time we will have a special lecture by invited experian engineers whether it is in acro maintenance or in in manufacturing or in engineering design and so on so i believe there will be other session
96:00 - 96:30 with uh profit yes ricky again thank you thank you thank you very much for your valuable time and and for the rest of the student make sure you you submit the exercise given by prof t.s vicki just now and i'll see you guys again next week on monday to explain more on the um activities uh with the society so with that um stay safe
96:30 - 97:00 we are still not yet free from the kovit 19 pandemic and if you are in your uh college or in your very nearby upm you are allowed to enter you you need the university but uh make sure that you follow the sop standard operating procedure so we do not want to to spread any more uh disease or covet in within upm yes and we also do not want to spend ten
97:00 - 97:30 thousand ingot to to pay unnecessarily right um okay with that thank you thank you ricky thank you everybody bye bye for now thank you thank you bro [Music]
97:30 - 98:00 do you
