Technology for Community Well-Being

A total of 30 undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, enrolled in the Integrated Design course, conducted trial runs of ultra-lightweight 3D-printed prosthetic legs with actual patients.

This programme was carried out through a strategic collaboration with the RICE UTeM-Melaka Collaboration Management Centre, UTeM Teaching Factory, and Kedidi Global Sdn. Bhd. to ensure that all prosthetic legs function properly.

Each patient participated in user trials alongside the student team, lecturers, and representatives from Kedidi Global to evaluate the comfort, durability, and functionality of the prosthetic legs. This initiative not only tested the effectiveness of the designs but also enhanced students’ ability to address real-world challenges in the field.

Funding support from the Ministry of Economy’s UniMADANI Grant also played a vital role in the success of this project, creating a positive impact on the community while nurturing innovative and socially conscious graduates.

KOMUNITI@UNIMADANI PROGRAMME: SMART AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY AT DURIAN TUNGGAL COMMUNITY GARDEN

Durian Tunggal, Alor Gajah, Melaka, 12 January 2025 – The launch ceremony of the IoT-Based Smart Fertigation System was held at the Durian Tunggal Community Garden as part of the Komuniti@UniMADANI programme, sponsored by the Ministry of Finance Malaysia (MOF). The project is led by Associate Professor Dr. Imran Mohd Ibrahim from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Technology (FTKEK), Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM).

The ceremony was officiated by YB Tuan Haji Adly Zahari, Member of Parliament for Alor Gajah, and attended by me as the representative of the Vice-Chancellor of UTeM. Also present were Prof. Ts. Dr. Effendi Mohamad, Director of RICE, and Ir. Dr. Noor Azwan Shairi, representing the Deputy Dean of FTKEK.

The project introduces an IoT-based Smart Fertigation System that uses farm sensors connected wirelessly through LoRa technology, Wireless LAN (WLAN), and 5G networks to monitor and control crops remotely. The system can irrigate 1,000 plants simultaneously while maintaining consistent crop quality, benefiting 10 participants from the Community Garden. Participants also receive marketing training to help increase their income.

The Community Garden also serves as a field research laboratory for UTeM students and researchers, supporting studies on modern agricultural technologies while strengthening collaboration between the university and the community.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this initiative to fruition.
