EPD441 – Manufacturing Engineering Integrated Design
A Course Turning Students into Engineers.

EPD441 provides students with the opportunity to bridge classroom learning with real industrial experience. Through industry collaboration, students apply engineering knowledge to solve real manufacturing challenges.

This success story highlights the collaboration between students from the School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia and LVIO Precision Sdn. Bhd., where industrial visits, design development, simulation, prototype fabrication, and professional presentations transformed ideas into practical engineering solutions.

Special thanks to LVIO Precision Sdn. Bhd. for their strong support and commitment to nurturing future engineers.

We also sincerely thank our supervisors, examiners, report examiners, and all team members whose guidance, dedication, and teamwork made this project possible.

EPD441 — where future engineers begin.

~ An engineering program with industrial elements in teaching and learning

Congratulations to 24 students from Third Year Manufacturing Engineering with Management who have been selected to participate in the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification Wave 13 - 2026.
The program is conducted as EPE432: Lean Six Sigma Manufacturing and Management course designed based on the Bose Lean Enterprise Yellow Belt Certification program as in MoA between USM and Flex LTD (Flex Systems Penang) (formerly Bose Systems Malaysia) since 2013.

In this training, they will learn about:
1. Lean Enterprise Overview
2. Aligning the Organization
3. Lean and Problem-Solving Fundamentals
4. Analysis Tools and Standards
5. Basic Statistics and Lean Management Systems

The program will interact with various group discussions and games to ensure effective experiential learning. Assessments for this program include book summaries, in-class exercises, blog writing, leadership, and participation in outdoor activities. Students will also be evaluated based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) report and presentation. Each student must conduct a 10-week PDCA project in a company under the supervision of a field supervisor and a mentor. This allows students to directly apply all their knowledge to solve problems in the real industry. Also, various outdoor activities will be planned and implemented by the students throughout this program.

The graduates from the Yellow Belt program are highly sought after by employers based on our graduates' employability records.
Thus, we wish you all the best in your Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification.

Pada 7 January 2026 sejarah tercatat apabila Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Mekanik telah berjaya menganjurkan Mechanical Engineering Design Exhibition Day 2026. Kelainan tahun ini adalah di mana kedua-dua program iaitu pelajar daripada kejuruteraan mekanik dan kejuruteraan pembuatan telah terlibat dalam pameran. Pelajar tahun akhir kejuruteraan mekanik di bawah kursus EMD431 Mechanical Engineering Integrated Project dan pelajar tahun dua kejuruteraan pembuatan di bawah kursus EPD212 Product Design and Development. Tahniah diucapkan kepada penyelaras program Dr. Ir. Fikri dan Mechys kerana telah berjaya menganjurkan program ini. Terima kasih kepada semua juri daripada industri, komuniti dan juga rakan-rakan pensyarah di PPK Mekanik, Bahan & Sumber Mineral dan Elektrik & Elektronik serta rakan-rakan daripada PP Seni.

Untuk EPD212, tahun ini, dana daripada SULAM amat membantu dalam penghasilan projek dan fabrikasi prototaip. Terima kasih SULAM USM atas dana ini. Semoga dimanafaatkan inovasi yang terhasil tahun ini. Penghargaan juga kepada Majlis Daerah Kerian (MDK) kerana sudi menjadi kolaborator pada tahun ini.
