STEM Motivational Visit to the School of Aerospace Engineering, USM

On 20 April 2026 (Monday), a group of 80 Form One students accompanied by 8 teachers from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato’ Haji Hussein, Selama, Perak participated in a STEM motivational visit to the School of Aerospace Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), located at the Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Engineering Campus, Nibong Tebal.

The visit, which commenced at 2:30 PM, was organized with the objective of exposing students to the field of aerospace engineering while fostering their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to cultivate early awareness and enthusiasm among students towards technical and engineering-based careers.

Throughout the visit, students were introduced to fundamental concepts in aerospace engineering, including aircraft systems, flight principles, and emerging technologies in the aviation and space sectors. The program also provided an opportunity for students to engage directly with the university environment, allowing them to experience a higher education setting and better understand future academic pathways.

In addition to educational sharing sessions, the visit aimed to inspire students by showcasing real-world applications of STEM knowledge, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and innovation. The presence and guidance of accompanying teachers further enhanced the learning experience, ensuring students remained engaged and benefited fully from the program.

Overall, the visit was a meaningful and impactful initiative that successfully broadened students’ perspectives on STEM education and career opportunities, particularly within the aerospace domain. It is hoped that such programs will continue to motivate and nurture the next generation of engineers and innovators in Malaysia.
