4 March 2024 - The School of Industrial Technology (PPTI) at USM Penang warmly welcomed 12 delegates from the Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT), Japan, for an enriching one-week program spanning from 29th February to 6th March 2024, encompassing activities both at USM and across Penang Island. Themed "Global Harmony: Sustainable Future, Cultural Roots," this collaborative endeavor engaged 10 OIT students alongside 8 PPTI students in a diverse array of lectures and interactive sessions across all four divisions of PPTI: Bioprocess Technology, Food Technology, Bioresource Technology, and Environmental Technology. As an effort to showcase our program expetise, we were honoured to introduce the innovative utilization of waste as sustainable raw materials to the delegates. The students learnt to make homemade scented candle using bioresource as raw material. The candles were beautifully crafted and personalised with their name and were brought back as sourvenir.
