The Faculty of Engineering at Hasanuddin University (FT Unhas) hosted an academic visit from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), Malaysia, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The event took place in the Dean’s Office on the 3rd floor of the Center of Technology (CoT) Building at the Unhas Faculty of Engineering and was part of efforts to strengthen international cooperation in the fields of academics and research.
The visit was a follow-up to an official letter from UTeM outlining plans for a courtesy and academic visit to Hasanuddin University.

The primary objective of this visit was to strengthen academic and research collaboration between the two institutions, particularly in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Several areas of potential collaboration discussed included the exchange of academic information, exploring international research opportunities in plasma discharge, biomass, nanomaterials, polymers, composites, and robotics, as well as opportunities for collaboration on international journal publications.
In addition, the meeting also addressed potential cooperation in visiting lecturer programs and student exchanges, as well as other academic collaboration opportunities that can be developed sustainably between the Faculty of Engineering at Unhas and UTeM.
The reception for this visit was attended by the leadership of the Hasanuddin University Faculty of Engineering, including the Associate Dean, the Chair and Secretary of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Chair of GEO at the Unhas Faculty of Engineering. Through this visit, it is hoped that strong and sustainable synergy will be established in the development of the three pillars of higher education at the international level.
