Talk title: How do Energy Savings and Tree Planting Correlate On August 9, 2024, The Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS); through its Civil Engineering Club organized the Environmental Awareness talk session which was delivered by Ts. Dr. Siti Birkha binti Mohd Ali from Universiti Selangor (UNISEL). She is one of the IET Malaysia Local Network (LN) committee 2023/2025. The talk aimed to provide insight into the environmental impact of energy savings, namely electricity consumption in buildings. During the sharing session, the correlation between energy savings in kilowatt-hours (kWh), energy consumption costs (RM), and carbon emissions (CO2) was demonstrated.

On August 14, 2024, the Faculty of Engineering held a workshop titled "Elevation of Research Groups Status" for its academic staff. The event aimed to empower the faculty's research groups to enhance their productivity and impact.

Ts. Dr. Norfarariyanti binti Parimon has been engaged in the fabrication and characterization of metal oxide semiconductor-based sensing devices since beginning her Ph.D. studies in 2018. Her research focuses primarily on the development of p-type nickel oxide (NiO) nanostructures using the immersion method for humidity sensor applications.

Senior Fellow, Ngui Min Fui @ Tom, Ir. Ts. Dr., from the Faculty of Engineering at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), has won the prestigious Industry Excellence Award 2024 in the “Sustainable Built Environment” category from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), United Kingdom.

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) has awarded Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) with a Strategic Research Fund (SRF) grant amounting to RM2,515,900.00 to support the implementation of the Integrated Multi-Hop Transceiver Scavenging System (IMHTS) under the Space-Based Technology program.
