This book highlights selected papers from the Mechanical Engineering track, with a focus on mechatronics and manufacturing, presented at the “Malaysian Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology” (MUCET 2019). The conference brings together researchers and professionals in the fields of engineering, research and technology, providing a platform for future collaborations and the exchange of ideas.
Dr. Aizzat earned his first degree in Electrical-Mechatronics Engineering at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2010 which was fully sponsored by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) during his study. After receiving his first degree, he pursued a career as a process R&D Engineer and Technical Project Manager at Intel Corporation under Assembly Test Capital Equipment Development (ATCED) department in Kulim, Kedah. In 2015 he obtained his Doctoral degree in Mechatronics Engineering specialising in Autonomous Vehicle development at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, and then continued to serve UMP as a senior lecturer. His research interests include intelligent vehicle navigation, vehicle stability control, robotics system modeling, mechatronics system.
Dr. Anwar P.P. Abdul Majeed graduated with a first class honours B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. He obtained an M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering from Imperial College London, United Kingdom. He then received his Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Robotics under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Zahari Taha from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP). He is currently serving as a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, UMP. He is an active research member at the Innovative Manufacturing, Mechatronics and Sports Laboratory, UMP. His research interest includes computational mechanics, applied mechanics, sports engineering, renewable and nuclear energy, sports performance analysis as well as machine learning.
Dr. Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan earned his first degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technische Hochschule Bingen in Germany in 2010. He then pursued a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, graduating with distinction in 2012. After that, he embarked on his Ph.D. at the Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), where he studied the head injuries sustained by soccer players due to heading. He completed his Ph.D. study in 2016, then continued to serve UMP as a senior lecturer. He is currently the director of the Innovative Manufacturing, Mechatronics and Sports Laboratory (iMAMS), which was founded by Professor Zahari Taha, who was his supervisor for his doctoral study. His research interests include finite element modelling of the interaction between human and sports equipment, instrumentation of sports equipment, and injury prevention particularly with regard to sport. His work aims to apply engineering principles in sports to not only enhance the performance of an athlete, but also to prevent injuries.
