Committee outing @ ESCAPE Room

After all the hardwork everyone put in during IEM Engineering Week, all of us decided to let out some steam by trying out this new attraction called the Escape Room. Our committee member, Engr Weng Kean booked the Mummy Room & Mysterious Room.

On the 21st Sept 2013, all of us were excited to try the new attraction. We made so many speculations, assumptions before our session starts. We went to their website and even found out that there handcuffs involved! Yikes! There was a video on their website and there were people crawling in the video! All of us were a bit worried.. We were apparently required to solve the clues within 45 minutes! Can we do it?? Imagine a room full of engineers who cannot solve within 45 minutes, that would be embarrassing!!!!

Anyway, since there were 9 of us, we split the group into 2 groups of 5 and 4. The one with 4 person in a group went for the "easier" room : Mummy Room, assuming that 5 people including a genius (you know who you are) is more than enough to solve the clues in the slightly more difficult room : Mysterious Room.

At 6.30pm, off we go into our respective rooms. Before that, the facilitator briefed us on the dos and don'ts in the room. Also, we were informed that we are allowed to ask for hints twice! The minute the facilitator left... the 45 minutes countdown started!

In the Mummy Room 

All of us scrambled to find the first clue! pheww.. time flew by super duper fast when you're solving clues! We were practically sweating & squatting. Earlier on, our Chairman told us to bring our trusty scientific calculator but we just laughed at him. Little did we know that we actually needed it! Not easy to compute a 4 digit number in your head, unless you're an accountant or a genius. Thank God for phone calculators! haha.. Anyway, we managed to solve the clues within 45 minutes with 3 minutes to spare. Thank God! Thank you to the clues, otherwise.. we will be losers!

We are the championsss... my friendddd... wooohooo!!!

In the Mysterious Room 

The door was open and we saw only DARKNESS and LASER LIGHTS. Yikes! All of us panicked and the first thing we did was go straight to the 3rd clue! Oh boyyy... we missed out on the 1st and 2nd clues. Because of the difficulty of the clues, we had to crack our head like crazy! Even work is easier.. less that we know we need to crack another clue to open another door! T.T  However, luck was not our side, we didn't finish on time. If only we were given 5 more minutes! We would be champions!

We lost... If only we were given 5 more minutes!

After our Escape Room session, we took photos of the winning and losing teams complete with all the props related to the respective rooms. Haha.. cool! We were even given polaroids of our group photo and the photos will be uploaded into Escape Room's facebook. hehe.. :-)

Job Interview Seminar by IEM UCSI Student Section

Facing a job/internship interview needs its own strategies to be successful. Even qualified candidates sometimes fail the interview step due to the unpreparedness or lack of strategies for such interviews. As the job application world gets more competitive, students are urged to acquire the necessary skills in order to win such interview.

In accordance with that thinking, the Engineering Students’ Association (ESA IEM Student Section) conducted the Job Interview Seminar on the 27th of July, 2013 at the Le Quadri Ballroom at the North Wing Campus of UCSI. The seminar aimed at preparing students for job/internship interview. Around 30 students from various faculties participated in the seminar.

The seminar was officiated by Ahmad as the Chairperson, and officiated by Engr. Joelle Mah as the Advisor of ESA. It was started by the first talk, “The Engineering Profession”, presented by Engr. Vivekasugha Alif Gunaalan of the Young Engineers Section of Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM).

The first talk was targeted for the engineering students among the participants. The talk was to prepare the engineering the students what kind of job they would be doing. The seminar then proceeded to the second talk, “Job Interview Preparation”, presented by Mr. Edmund Teh of Jobstreet.com. He discussed strategies to face such interview in order to familiarize them with the current situation of the working world, and how they need to prepare themselves in order to successfully compete with other applicants.

Participants then proceeded to the mock interview session, in which they were being interviewed by Mr. Edmund Teh and Mr. Tim Lee from Jobstreet.com, as if the participants were applying for a job. This session was meant to familiarize the students of the interview process, and how they were supposed to apply the strategies in answering the questions. By the end of the event, students gained more ideas about the engineering profession, and developed strategies in applying for a job/internship, especially in terms of facing the interview process.

It's the time we've been waiting for, entering the site! We were accompanied by the MRT Site Safety Officer. It's compulsory to put on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and we got even more excited. It felt as if we were the engineers of the MRT site for the day.

On our way to the site with full PPE!

During the technical visit, the Project engineers explained about the current progress of work, the challenges they have encountered and solutions for the challenges to us. We even managed to get a glimpse of the assembly in progress of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM).

A technical visit wouldn't be complete without a group photo at the site! We looked so cool, right?
