The most fun part of my internship was when I get to be on the planning team for the annual exhibition. University Putra Malaysia (UPM) showcased a total of 570 exhibits from the field of agriculture, food, forestry and environment, health, science, technology, engineering and social science at the Invention, Research and Innovation Exhibition (PRPI 2011), and this was held from 19th to 21st of July, 2011.
The exhibition feature the launching of a book entitled ‘Contemporary Environmental Quality Management in Malaysia and Selected Countries’, a product of the Faculty of Environmental Studies, the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with United Malacca Berhad in relation to the management of palm oil farming involving a fund of RM2 million, and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between UPM’s Institute of Advanced Technology and Malaysian Green Technology Corporation.
My task was being involved in developing a part of Exhibition program which was scheduling the campus tour. Where visitors, school students, members of the industry and media will be taken on a tram ride to UPM Equine Centre to experience firsthand handling of horses; to Putra Dairy Park to witness the hi-tech cow milking and to view UPM’s deer, cow and goat farming technologies; to Institute of Bioscience’s Conservatory Park to view the different types of herbs grown there;, the animal clinic where veterinarians will share a tip or two on animal care; and to the orchid farm. I was also among the tour guiders who took the respective attendees throughout the campus.
