A group of 8 form five high school students and 3 teachers from T okyo Tech High School of Science and Technology Shibaura have visited Facul ty of Engineering, UNIMAS at 2.00 pm on Monday, 31 July 2017. The delegatio n visit main objective to the Faculty was to study the implementation of re newable energy in Sarawak particularly on micro hydro system which have bee n actively developed and implemented throughout Sarawak by Centre of Renewa ble Energy (CREN), Faculty of Engineering, UNIMAS. Initially during the vis it, Tokyo Tech High School delegation was welcomed by the Engineering Facul ty Dean,Assoc. Prof Ir Dr Al-Khalid bin Hj Othman before a brief presentati on on the introduction of the faculty was presented by Dr. Nazeri Abdul Rah man (Deputy Dean for Student Affairs and Alumni). Later, both students and the accompanying teachers are presented with two technical presentations on micro hydro turbine system. Firstly, Dr Martin Anyi presented a presentati on entitled Initiatives in designing and fabricating micro hydro turbines l ocally, in which he addressed the challenges in designing a sustainable mic ro-hydro turbine system in Sarawak. Dr Martin Anyi is one of the members fo r Micro Hydro Unit, Centre of Renewable Energy (CREN), Faculty of Engineeri ng. Secondly, Assoc. Prof Dr. Thelaha bin Hj Masri who is also a member for Micro Hydro Unit, Centre of Renewable Energy (CREN), shared his personal e xperiences in developing, implementing and maintaining micro-hydro turbine system in Sarawak initiated by CREN. After listening to both presentation, the students are divided into two groups and presented their research works on renewable energy in which have been conducted prior to the visit. The f irst group presented their findings on the suitability of other renewable e nergies in Malaysia in which they suggested that Malaysia have some potenti al in harvesting wind and tidal energy. The second group on the other hand shared their experiences in sorting and recycling solid wastes at their sch ool. They suggested that the solid waste derived from learning institution in Japan can be classified as recyclable, burnable and unburnable wastes. T he recyclable wastes can be sorted and sent to recyclable centre, whereas s ome of the unrecyclable but burnable wastes can be used as fuel for power g eneration. Before departing the faculty, the delegation visited renewable e nergy laboratory at Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in which there are exposed to not only to micro hydro turbine system but also to photovoltaic system and fuel cell system for power generation. p>
