The Faculty of Information Sciences and Engineering (FISE) at Management and Science University hosted the 18th edition of the Ideas Regeneration Expo (iReX) in December 2024.
Held at the Chancellor Hall of MSU, the biannual flagship programme focused on the theme “Innovative Solutions for a Connected Future through Technology, Society & Communication,” drawing attention to championing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 18th iReX featured 222 final-year projects from bachelor's degree programmes across Media Science & Graphic (MSG), Engineering & Technology (ENT), and Information Sciences & Computing (ISC) departments in FISE. In addition, international participants from Western Caspian University (Azerbaijan), Jakarta Global University (Indonesia), Politeknik Negeri Jakarta, and Politeknik Negeri Bali virtually joined the exhibition.
The two-day exhibition featured an encompassing learning experience, including insightful industrial talks featuring Ir. Azri B. Ab Aziz, the Assistant Vice President of Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn. Bhd.; Dato' Adam Hamzah, Director of Data Center Specialists (M) Sdn. Bhd.; Muhammad Tarmizi Sanusi Afkar, CEO of Tarsoft Sdn. Bhd.; Nasrol Muhaumin, Enzeq Ventures Sdn Bhd; and Ts. Zulkifly Amirudin. Inspidea Sdn Bhd.
In his officiating speech, MSU President and Founder Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid highlighted two key aspects: closing the loops of two ecosystems. The first is fostering and developing positive, impactful collaborations with industry partners. The second focuses on closing the loop of the innovative culture that is aimed to cultivate within the university.
He also remarked on the dual nature of technology, emphasising that while it often involves disruption, this disruption can also bring positive outcomes. Stressing the importance of regenerating ideas, Professor Dr. Mohd Shukri highlighted the need to support the components driving change and to effectively manage the resulting disruptions in our country.
Following the speech, the President graced the prize-giving ceremony, accompanied by the Dean of FISE, Professor Dr. Adam Amril Jaharadak, and the Director of iReX, Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Safaa Najah Saud Al Humairi.
