3rd IChemE Asia Pacific Sports & NACES 2011

Greetings from IChemE@UTP. 

First and foremost, we from IChemE@UTP would like to wish everyone, although a tiny bit late, a Merry Christmas ! We hoped that you had a safe journey back to your hometowns and had a wonderful time with your family.

It's finally year end of the year 2011 and my, did IChemE@UTP had a wonderful ride this year. 

UTP had recently participated at the 3^rd IChemE Asia Pacific Students Sports and Career Day on 1^st October 2011 at Monash University, Sunway Campus in collaboration with IChemE Malaysia. 

Whilst producing a new generation of well rounded Chemical Engineers, as per laid out by the guidelines by UTP management, it is also imperative that we must not only be good technically and knowledgeable wise, but as well in the form of physical condition. 

And with that, IChemE@UTP decided to send out a total of 50 participants, competing against 8 universities from Malaysia and Singapore.

In the absence of many IChemE@UTP, we were still able to manage quite a feat indeed.

1) Futsal Female - GOLD

2) Bowling - GOLD

3) DoTA - SILVER

4) Netball - SILVER

5) Badminton Men's Singles - SILVER 

No doubt, this is one very satisfactory result we are very proud to show off to. 

Hint: See the word DoTA? *wink wink * 

As for the more recent news lately, which is starting to gain more popularity is the incredible achievements garnered by none other than IChemE@UTP members too !

 The National Chemical Engineering Symposium (NACES) 2011 was hosted at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) from the 16^th to 18^th December 2011, with UTPians up against 13 higher learning institutions including Universiti Sebelas Maret, Indonesia and Curtin University of Technology.

Fortunately, the theme organized by NACES this year goes along with the theme "Sustainable Development", with hopes that current Chemical Engineers are able to tackle and resolve current depletion of resources as well as increment of serious degree of climate condition worldwide.

Participating in a total of three competitions, mainly Technical Plant Design Competition, Technical Essay Writing Competition and Technical Case Study Competition, with a total of 12 participants from UTP, we were yet able to achieve another astounding feat with the results of : 

Technical Plant Design Competition - Champion , RM1500 Cash Prize
