The National Engineering and Technology Convention 2023 was successfully held on the 9th July 2023 at Raia Hotel & Convention Centre Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.
 
The NETC2023 bringing participants attention to the ways in which the engineering and technology sector can contribute to a post-Covid economic recovery. Covid-19 has wreaked havoc in many industries and labor markets. Sectors such as aviation, tourism and many services industries suffered big demand drops. Nevertheless, engineering and technology is the key to the recovery from the pandemic. The keynote address was successfully delivered by Y.Bhg. Dato’ Ir. Ahmad Redza bin Ghulam Rasool, the President of Board of Engineers Malaysia with the theme “Post Pandemic Recovery in Engineering and Technology”.

This year, ETW2024 is inspired on the digitalization in engineering and technology that involves with the integration of state-of-the-art digital tools, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics, into traditional industrial and engineering practices.

This transformative convergence not only enhances efficiency and innovation but also offers innovative solutions to complex challenges, providing a pathway towards a more sustainable future.

MySET has successfully conducted the 6th workshop on Preparation for Outcome Based Professional Assessment Examination (PAE) on 16th November 2024 at MySET Office, Seri Kembangan
