Besides serving the community, UTAR makes every effort to spread the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by promoting and organising various STEM-based outreach programmes for its community. Hence, in conjunction with Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair (KLESF): The Fair 2018 which was held at Mines International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC)from 2 to 4 November 2018, various centres and faculties from UTAR went all out to organise interesting workshops for the public.
Involved in the workshops were Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) of Sungai Long and Kampar Campuses, Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKC FES), Faculty of Engineering and Green Technology (FEGT), Faculty of Science (FSc), Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (FICT), and Faculty of Medicines and Health Sciences (FMHS). The three-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics saw the public, ranging from young to adult, exploring, learning and gaining knowledge through various hands-on activities at the workshops. The attendees also enjoyed a series of exciting activities and interactive experiments that ranged from making an insect collection to playing video games.
