Double joy

UNIVERSITI Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) has scored a double first. Not only will a Uniten team make it to the ImechE (Institution of Mechanical Engineers) finals in London, Britain, next month, it will also be the first team outside the UK to do so. Uniten’S ELITE team, comprising Dominic Hua Shi Hao, Lim See Beng, Ghoulesh and Tan Pong Seng, are participating in the final battle on March 5.

The prize? The championship trophy in the “Cooling the Planet” world finals. This is a challenge that provides engineers with the opportunity to showcase their skills and demonstrate the roles engineering plays in solving global warming issues. Participating teams will present feasible engineering alternatives to reverse the effects of the phenomena.
