UNITEN Bags Three Gold Medals at PECIPTA 2009

UNITEN bags three gold at PECIPTA 2009 by sending in 14 inventions; nine from the College of Engineering, two from the College of Information Technology, two from the College of Business Administration and one from the Institute of Liberal Studies. In addition to these gold medals, this year’s competition also sees UNITEN taking back one Silver medal and four bronze.

It is worth mentioning that PECIPTA has always been the benchmark of Invention & Innovation competition in the country. Thus, it is evident that UNITEN did very well in PECIPTA 2009 and has what it takes to be amongst the best of Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL) in the country in terms or research and innovation.

PECIPTA or Persidangan dan Ekspo Ciptaan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Antarabangsa is organised by the Ministry of Higher Education in its efforts to encourage research and development in science and technology. It aims to exhibit products, inventions and innovations from IHL in Malaysia and overseas, thus providing an opportunity for participants to establish networks and collaborations towards the commercialisation of developed prototypes.

PECIPTA 2009 was officiated by the Deputy Prime Minster of Malaysia, Yang Amat Berhormat Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Mohd. Yassin. A total number of 465 inventions from 22 IHL participated in this year’s PECIPTA
