1.0 INTRODUCTION
As a student of Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), it is compulsory for all of
us to undergo the course, HDB 1012 Community Engagement Project (CEP) as it is a
part of MPU (Mata Pelajaran Umum/General Studies) National requirement prescribed
by the Ministry of Education of Malaysia. This course is a project-based activity and it is
specially designed for the students to acquire basic skills to support students
development. In addition, the social and value emphasis on this community based project
is in line with UTP mission to produce well-rounded graduates with a broad-minded,
balanced and holistic views.
Under the supervision from Dr. Nurul Ekmi binti Rabat, the organizing committee
have decided and planned to organize a Corporate Social Responsibility, ChemExpo in
Sekolah Menengah Sains Pokok Sena, a secondary science school in Kedah. The word
ChemExpo stands for Chemical Engineering Exposure. As it sounds, this project is an
educational and exposure event which focuses on Chemical Engineering related activities
to allow the students to acquire the skills and abilities that are necessary for career
development and how to apply theoretical principles to the application in the real world.
Furthermore, for us to access to their level of understanding and exposure on engineering
based knowledge and their thoughts on chemical engineering before and after the event,
surveys had been prepared by our department, games and activities. Besides, the aim of
the department is to come out with activities and modules that are suitable for the
participants, making sure it is not overloaded and they enjoy it while the objectives of the
event are aligned.
The participants of this project are form four students, who will soon looking for
universities to further their studies after completing the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM)
in the following year. It is important to understand the field of work that they are
interested as it will most likely be the field chosen by them. Therefore, ChemExpo is a
good event that provides the opportunity to the participants to get an insight of the
engineering field, especially Chemical Engineering. Since the weight of the students
future will most likely affected by the event, it is important for our department to ensure
that the event will be conducted to have a means of preparing the future generation
towards the challenging and innovating future.
The modules and activities our department prepared are specifically tailored for
them to understand the fundamental of engineering, applications in real life related to
engineering and how to apply theoretical principles to the application in the real world.
Throughout the even, the facilitators of each group will be evaluating the team and their
members they are in charge of, this is to create a healthy competitive attitude among the
students. Furthermore, the modules consist of surface tension, density, Newtons third
law and filtration which will instil the skills needed to become a chemical engineer such
as teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, innovation, analytical, problem-solving ability,
and the capacity to motivate and to lead the team. Moreover, critical thinking and problem
solving ability is of utmost importance to face the outside world which is full of
challenges for development and innovations. In addition, our department had done many
dry runs for each of the modules and activities as the safety of the participants are the top
priority and our concerns. On the other hand, we arranged a talk by one of our supervisor,
Dr. Noridah binti Osman to give the participants a clearer prospects and objectives in
engineering and life.
Conclusion, the objectives of the event and department had been achieved as we
received good response from the participants on the activities and modules prepared and
also their understanding towards engineering, especially chemical engineering.
Therefore, ChemExpo as an educational and exposure event had been successfully
conducted on 6th-8th October 2016.
2.0 OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this event is exposing what Chemical Engineering is all
about through Chemical Engineering related experiments and games. Modules and
activities are created so as to share the fundamental knowledge of engineering by
providing them hands on experience and letting them witness the experiments with their
own eyes. The targeted outcome from our project is allowing them to further understand
what is Chemical Engineering and the related subjects. In addition, they are encouraged
to think critically as well as problem solving skills through challenging question and
experiments.
Overall the primary objective to be achieved through the project are:
Logistic and Food and Beverages are two different departments that have been
merged to be conducted by the same committees. Logistic successfully manage to book
bus for both departure from UTP and departure from Kedah. They also manage to book
the IT stuff from ITMS, UTP. As for food and beverages, they liaise with the school
canteen to prepare the food for committees throughout this whole event. Lim Chien
Chiang, Assistant Project Director 1 of ChemExpo, has supervised both of this
department.
Last department, which is the main, and the most crucial department is the games
and activities department (GnA), which has been supervised by Wan Hasrul Hishmur,
Project Director and Patrick Anthoney, the treasurer of ChemExpo. This department
basically needs to prepare, test and revise all the activities and modules that they are going
to conduct at the school. The modules that must be conducted must be chemical
engineering related but fun activities, which were why this department was quite crucial
during the preparation phase. However, in the end of the project (outcome), all the
students really enjoyed their activities and were very happy that they were exposed to
those modules and activities, as they have never experienced it before.
In a nutshell, preparation before the event was a very tiring but fun journey. As
we arrived at the school, all the committees work hand in hand the whole night to make
sure the event on the next day runs perfectly. We rehearsed everything for few times
including testing the games, the PA system and the flow of opening and closing
ceremony. Both of our supervisors, Dr Ekmi and Dr Noridah were also there to show
support and they gave us orders and ideas in for us to to have a better and proper flow.
3.2 During the event
Due to a proper flow and planning during the preparation of event, on the day of
the event itself, there is only one minor problem we encountered which is a small
technical problem. Other than that, all the facilitators (committees and two volunteers
including one AiCHE committee) and the students enjoyed the modules and activities
prepared by GnA department.
The students were really happy with our project that they gave us a surprise
after the closing ceremony by showing us dance performance. They danced to three types
of energetic songs that the facilitators were very happy and followed the dancing steps as
well. In exchange to what they performed, the committees decided to show to the
students, one of the best dance group in UTP, Gajjdi Jawani (Bhangra group dance)
performance. There are three Bhangra dancers in ChemExpo committees and they
showed it to the students.
To support on how happy the students with this project was when one of the
students representative came up to the stage to give a closing speech. Heart warmingly,
the representative praised us so much and they were both very happy and sad. They were
happy because they did not expect that this project will be very fun and enjoyable but
they were sad at the same time because it was only a one-day event but they already feel
attached to the facilitators.
After the whole ceremony finished, the students still wanted to talk with the
facilitators as they wanted to ask on university life, advices on studies and many more.
Hence, all the facilitators and students sit in their respective groups and they share stories
and advices to each other. As a conclusion, this event was a successful event as all the
objectives set earlier by the High Committees (HICOM) have been achieved throughout
this project.
3.3 After Event
As for after-event work, each department will only need to prepare a final report.
Next, each committee will need to do a self-individual reflection on this project and a
poster for the whole project need to be prepared by the HICOM.

will be evaluated by facilitators and the winner of the modules is determined according
to the highest score of the evaluation.
Module 1: Sinking Soda (Person In-Charge: Tan Hong Li)
Person in-charge would be explaining the procedures of the experiment and conducting
the experiment, students were there to analyze the experiment and discuss the results of
the experiment with the help of facilitators to explain. There were soda cans with various
contents of sugar level provided, and then the cans were put into a container filled with
tap water. Students need to guess which soda can will float or sink based on discussion.
The facilitators were there to explain them more detailed in the results of the experiment
such as soda cans with higher content of sugar sink while lower sugar content float
because of density. There were a few groups whose guess was correct based on their
outstanding performance.
Module 2: Surface Tension (Person In-Charge: Chew)
This module highlighted the difference in surface tension and the application of surface
tension in daily life usage. For instance, soap as surfactant can decrease the surface
tension. It was more to discussion and explanation among students, facilitators and person
in-charge. Besides, there was an experiment conducted using dish washer and NeverWet
spray that completely repels the water and any fluids such tomato sauce. Students were
overjoyed with the results of the experiment and they gained so much knowledge as well
as facilitators.
Module 3: Heros Engine Newtons 3rd Law (Person In-Charge: Jing Shenn)
Starting with a briefing from person in-charge on how to conduct the experiment and
explanation about the law through slides using projector, the students paid attention first
before carrying out the experiment on their own with the assistance of facilitators.
Students were given specific time to discuss and to carry out the experiment using three
pails with water provided. Whichever group is the fastest for the cup to rotate is the
winner. By this experiment, the students were all thrilled and focused on learning the
module. At the end of the experiment, Q&A session was performed in order for the
students to understand more about the concept. During this session, facilitators were not
12
allowed to help the students to give the answer as for giving the chance for the students
to discuss more among themselves. This module assisted the students in working as a
team and to enhance their critical thinking.
13
Feedback questions were provided before and after ChemExpo event for the
students to answer YES or NO. From the results and feedback in appendices, the
objectives of ChemExpo are successfully accomplished as well as both participants and
organizing teams gain benefits from this academic support project. According to
feedback, there are more students interested to pursue studies in chemical engineering
and gain sufficient knowledge about chemical engineering after ChemExpo event.
Besides, students have realized that they are capable to contribute together in a team and
this proves that they have developed good teamwork within teams.

5.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion for Games and Activity Department, we have achieved the
objectives and aim of this event. The modules and games that we have prepared about
chemical engineering are successful being conducted on the event day. All of the form 4
students of Sekolah Menengah Sains Pokok Sena,Kedah that join our event day are very
enjoyable and they learn a lots of things about chemical engineering.
Our modules consist of 4 modules which were Newtons Third Law, Density,
Surface Tension and Filtration modules. During the modules session, all of the students
were very concentrate and focus on what we taught to them. Some of the students even
take notes on it. These show that they are eager to know what chemical engineering is
and after that they can make their decision in the future on what they want to become.
When it comes to game session, they were more likely to be active as time pass. For
example, the building bridge with the material that we provided, they build the bridge
with a very good teamwork and manage to build it on time. These show that they have
time management skill in order to complete building the bridge. Besides that they also
have teamwork to finish the bridge.
Lastly, to prepare these modules we have spent a lot of time on doing some
research in order to complete and decide the modules. Moreover, we also learn more
about the matter regarding to our modules doing our research. By conducting this event,
the students in Sekolah Menengah Sains Pokok Sena were guided to have a better insight
of the modules. At the same time, we were also able to grasp more about the modules.
Basically this event is likely to be both benefits for the students as well as committee
themselves.
Last but not least, we do think that our department has done a very great job to
make this event as a success. This is due to that out department is the major department
for all the activities during the event day. However without other department help the
activity or this event will not be success.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Duration of the modules. The duration of the modules was long which 40
minutes on each module was but most of the modules actually could finish less
than 40 minutes. This could be further improved by decreasing the time of the
modules to 30 minutes each and for the extra 10 minutes the students should had
some discussion with their facilitator and sharing about what they had learn on
each modules.
The activities do in a module. Basically the modules just about teach them and
let them have a try after we had demonstrated on how to do. We should add
some quiz in it regarding to the modules. In order to have a look on the students
on how they know about what we had taught to them.
