SEGi Engineering Students Gain Industry Insights from NCT PMC

On 17 March 2026, SEGi University welcomed Ir. Kee Lian Cherng and Mr Lee Bing Hong from NCT PMC Sdn. Bhd. as industry panellists for an Industry-to-Classroom session with engineering students.

The session featured student presentations for the Project Management Planning & Control subject, where three groups presented their 10-week projects covering Design, Supply, Construction, Testing and Commissioning. The participating groups comprised two teams from the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering programme and one team from the Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme.

Throughout the two-hour session, the industry panellists provided constructive feedback and shared practical insights based on real project experience. Students gained a clearer understanding of how engineering projects are managed in professional settings, particularly in areas such as planning, coordination, problem-solving, project execution and stakeholder expectations.

Beyond technical knowledge, the session also highlighted the importance of professional communication. Students were guided on how to present their ideas clearly and confidently to clients, stakeholders and senior management. The interactive discussion allowed them to engage directly with industry experts, ask questions and better understand the standards expected in the engineering field.

This Industry-to-Classroom initiative plays an important role in narrowing the gap between academic learning and industry practice. By exposing students to real-world scenarios and professional feedback, the session helped strengthen their confidence, critical thinking and readiness for future engineering careers.

The initiative also reflects SEGi University’s commitment to SDG 4: Quality Education by providing students with meaningful, industry-relevant learning experiences beyond the classroom. At the same time, the focus on project planning, construction processes, resource coordination and responsible project execution aligns with SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, encouraging students to consider more efficient and accountable approaches in engineering practice.

SEGi University extends its sincere appreciation to Ir. Kee Lian Cherng, Mr Lee Bing Hong and NCT PMC Sdn. Bhd. for their valuable time, guidance and contribution. Collaborations such as this continue to inspire, motivate and prepare students to excel in the professional world.
