UTM South Korea Academic Exchange & Industrial Visit Day 01 - (6th July 2012)

From 6th to 17th July 2012, a group of 34 students with a lecturer has succesfully executed a Global Outreach Program to South Korea.

This delegation was executed as an effort to give early exposure related to foreign lifestyle and education system to the students of Faculty of Electrical Engineering. In addition, the delegation will also be able to provide new experiences not only in term of technical but also personality and spiritual aspects as well.

In accordance with UTM’s aim to produce graduates who are creative and innovative, this delegation was able to provide exposure to the advanced technology of foreign countries such as Korea, one of the Asia’s developing country, especially in Electrical and Electronics field.

Below is the summary of the whole trip :














You can find more info and pictures on the respective links.

What we learned from this trip :
  • It was a new experience in a totally new environment and culture.
  • Survival skill in a country where English is very seldom spoken and Korean language is main language used everywhere.
  • Unlike Malaysia, they have very less dustbins, however you still see their roads are way cleaner than Malaysia. This is because they are disciplined to bring home their own trash to be thrown.
  • Their self discipline is very admirable, like what the students from Hanyang Uni. said, 'in order to mingle with them, you need to work as hard as them'. And from what i see, they are very ambitious. They give high priority on the developement of the next generation technology.
  • On top of that you can see how much they obey the law especially at traffic lights, where people actually fo stop to allow pedestrians cross the road. Koreans were not pampered with flyovers here and there, but were disciplined to follow traffic rules.
  •  How they commute is very important. Their transportation such as the subway is very efficient. Meaning we can learn from their technology.
