About Young Malaysian Engineers (YME)
Young Malaysian Engineers (YME-UK) is a student organisation that aims to represent
and develop Malaysian engineering students in the UK. YME-UK was founded based on
the success of the first ever Malaysian Students’ Technology Conference (MSTC) back
in 2016. Coherent to the aims of the organisation, YME-UK hopes to bridge the gap
of opportunities between Malaysian engineering students in the UK whilst also developing
different soft skills for engineering via networking sessions and workshops. Ultimately,
YME-UK aims to make a positive impact on society and help pave the way towards a better
Malaysia. Since the society’s inception, YME-UK strives to assist Malaysian engineering
students in the best way we can so that they may become memorable contributors to the
society. We hope that in the future, Malaysian engineers will be known to be at the
forefront of implementing the latest technology for the benefit of society.
About Malaysian Students Technology Conference (MSTC)
Malaysian Students’ Technology Conference ( MSTC) is a student-led conference that
was established last year in 2016. The event saw speakers and panels sessions whose
topics covered local innovations in Malaysia and the imperative role of technology
in social and environmental advancements. As an event first of its kind, MSTC2016
was deemed a success and was the prime factor in kick-starting YME-UK which now acts
as a platform that gathers Malaysian students pursuing Engineering/STEM courses in
the United Kingdom and aims to further develop them through various initiatives.
As a continuation, the theme for this year's conference is set to demonstrate
the breakroughs in STEM that we have achieved so far. The significant technological change
currently happening is an important topic to highlight to Malaysian youths interested
in or currently pursuing their passions in the STEM field. We aim to be a platform to
stimulate critical discussions on development of science and technology in Malaysia.
This theme is the to "break the perception" about people's views on niche areas such
as psychology, animation and neuroscience where the opportunities in Malaysia are
seen to be limited. This theme's goal is to elevate the students from their current
perspective to a new stage.
