Students from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) gained valuable insights into semiconductor testing technologies and industry practices through a technical talk and factory visit to AccoTEST Technology Sdn. Bhd. in Durian Tunggal, Melaka, recently.
Organised by the FET Engineering Society (EngSoc) in collaboration with the FET Industrial Linkage Committee, the programme aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of the semiconductor sector by connecting academic knowledge with real-world engineering applications and industry practices.
The session began with an introduction to AccoTEST’s corporate background and business environment, followed by a technical sharing session by Mr. Choo Liang Quan, Test Engineering Lead at AccoTEST. Students were introduced to the role of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) in semiconductor manufacturing, including the applications of analog/mixed-signal testers and analog IC testers in ensuring semiconductor device performance and reliability.
Beyond technical knowledge, students also gained insights into career opportunities within the industry through a sharing session by Ms. Hooi Chee Chan, Human Resources Manager at AccoTEST. She shared valuable perspectives on graduate recruitment opportunities, industry expectations, and the skills required for fresh graduates to succeed in the semiconductor field.
The programme continued with a guided factory tour, where students observed semiconductor testing processes and gained first-hand exposure to industrial operations. Led by AccoTEST engineers, students explored product testing activities involving mixed-signal IC testing and power module testing using AccoTEST STS8200 and STS8300 semiconductor test systems.
The industry engagement provided students with a deeper understanding of semiconductor testing technologies while broadening their awareness of potential career pathways in engineering. Through this experience, students were able to connect classroom concepts with industry applications and gain valuable perspectives on the evolving semiconductor landscape.
