Internship Experience at MFRL

Last year, two students from different organization join us as internship student and they have gone thru valuable experience. They are Muhammad Amirun form Politeknik Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah and Faris from UIAM. We are try our best to ensure all students who are stay at the lab, will left us with an unforgetable memories.

Welcome New Researchers to MFRL

We are pleased to welcome two newly joined researchers to the MFRL, Dr. Anwar and Mr. Mohzani. Hopefully their expertise and knowledge can assist to bring the lab further. Both are well-experienced lecturers at the School of Mechanical Engineering, USM. Recently Mr. Mohzani involved in supervising a few FYP students on wire arc additive manufacturing related projects. Similarly, Dr. Anwar, who are expert in friction stir processing of dissimilar materials and material characterization.
