PETROLEUM engineering students at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Skudai, Johor, will now get more hands-on training with field equipment following a donation from PETRONAS.

The company’s petroleum engineering department senior general manager Ahmad Zakir Salehudin said the initiative was designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and fieldwork.
