MANJUNG, 6 May 2026 – Final-year students from the Energy Conversion Systems course at the School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), recently participated in an industrial visit to the Sultan Azlan Shah Power Station as part of their experiential learning programme.

The visit was led by course lecturers, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khaled Al-attab and Dr. Khairil Faizi Mustafa. During the session, students were introduced to the operations of a modern thermal power plant and were given the opportunity to engage in a hands-on simulation using the power plant control system, enhancing their understanding of real-world plant operation and control.
