PERTEKMA

Some of the activities organized by PERTEKMA annually include social
activities such as “Hari Bersama PERTEKMA” also known as HBP, IT WEEK,
FCSIT annual dinner and sports events. Our HBP event that is held annually
is a welcoming event for our new FCSIT students. The main aim of the event is
to familiarize new student with campus life by providing activities such as
campus tour, talks on learning resources provided by the university, ice breaking
session with student representatives as well as other engaging activities.

Our next annual activity is the FCSIT Annual Dinner which is attended by both
staff and students of the faculty. Invitation are open to all students of the faculty
from different year of study and programme. The aim of the dinner is to create
an informal setting where students and staff members can mingle and have fun
together. Students and guests enjoy live performances, play games, have lucky
draws while having their dinner outside the campus. The FCSIT annual dinner have
different themes every year hence guest dress code is based on the current theme.

IT Week one of the largest event conducted by PERTEKMA every year at the faculty.
Some activities held during this event include e-sports games, IT Talk & Workshop
on the latest technology and career events are some of the attractions offered
during the event. Outside companies are also invited to showcase their products
such as 3D printing, game simulator, virtual reality games and drone piloting
short classes. Concurrently we will also be having a food bazaar selling different
types of food and drinks from food trucks and vendors from outside the campus.

PERTEKMA will also be having various sports events throughout the year
such as such as the Dean’s Futsal Cup. The aim of the sports events is to
allow students to break away from their mundane routine and to promote a
healthy lifestyle by engaging in regular physical activities. Sports activities
allows student to exercise and socialize with one and another in a healthy way.

As a summary PERTEKMA is not just a student organization but we see ourselves
as one big family. PERTEKMA will always be there for our fellow brother and
sisters in the faculty. In our hearts, we live by the motto #pertekmasayangsemua.

Service Learning

Service learning (SL) is a “form of experiential learning that occurs through a cycle of action and
re!ection as students apply what they are learning to address real community needs” (Malaysia
Education Blueprint 2015-2025, pg. 1-9). Existing studies have shown that integrating
academics and community service delivers greater development of student soft skills,
enriches learning experiences and improves academic performance.
In line with the aspiration of the Ministry of Higher Education, Faculty of ComputerScience
& Information Technology (FCSIT) has decided to reap these benefits as another milestone
in achieving better teaching and learning quality into one faculty core course, namely
Technopreneurship and Product Development since session 2016/2017 Semester1. The course
imbued students with the knowledge in running technology-based entrepreneurial ventures with
technology products and services as their core business.
In addition, the incorporation of SL element into this course enables the students to be viewed
as social technopreneur by looking at the social impacts that could be created. A main
requirement for SL implementation is to gather real user requirements through visits to the
community sites. The target communities are the Jawatan Kuasa Kampung (JKKK), youth,
children, local entrepreneur and people with disabilities. The sites cover from Kuching, Kota
Samarahan and. The sites cover from Kuching, Kota Samarahan and nearby districts in Sarawak.
The main outcome from the SL activities are reflections by the students, stakeholders, faculty
supervisors and community supervisors.
