Rail journey across Klang Valley: BTECH students embark on an educational exploration of Malaysia's train system

On 12th December 2024, a group of 21 Bachelor of Technology students specializing in Railway Infrastructure Engineering from UITM, along with three lecturers, embarked on an extraordinary educational journey through Malaysia's intricate railway systems. The program, aptly titled RailJourney Across Klang Valley, offered the students a hands-on experience with the nation's diverse train services, including KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad), LRT, MRT, and ERL. This initiative, led by Associate Prof. Ir. Dr. Norliyati Mohd Amin, marked a significant milestone for the first cohort of students enrolled in the Railway Infrastructure Engineering program. Dr. Norliyati emphasized the importance of the activity, stating, "This hands-on exposure equips students with foundational knowledge and provides their first encounter with operational railway systems before delving into advanced topics."
