In his remarks, the MMU President expressed appreciation for Infineon’s unwavering support over the years in making Infineon Week a meaningful platform for learning, engagement, and industry exposure. The collaboration between MMU and Infineon dates back to 2009 with the signing of their first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Since then, it has evolved into a strong industry-academia partnership that supports the development of an “industry in campus” ecosystem.

Among its notable outcomes is the Infineon Corner, launched in January 2024, which has become an active space for students from various disciplines to learn, collaborate, and exchange ideas. The University also takes pride in seeing many of its Permata Dunia alumni flourishing at Infineon, with several returning to campus during Infineon Week to share their experiences through programmes such as the Career Talk and Alumni Industrial Forum.

Over the years, both parties have collaborated on a wide range of initiatives, including industrial sharing sessions, student internships, Industrial Advisory Panel appointments, technical training, curriculum embedment activities, industry-based Final Year Projects (FYPs), and technology showcases.

Another highlight of Infineon Week 2026 was the Innovative Project and Research Poster Competition, which featured 20 shortlisted Final Year Projects and 20 research posters from the engineering and information technology disciplines. As the event concluded, both MMU and Infineon reaffirmed their shared commitment to cultivating talent, driving innovation, and strengthening the link between academia and industry, paving the way for more impactful collaborations in the future.

The programme began with a warm welcome from the centre, followed by an informative introduction to sea turtles, particularly the Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), one of the most distinctive and endangered turtle species, recognised for its uniquely curved beak-like mouth resembling that of an eagle. The centre highlighted that Padang Kemunting beaches record some of the highest turtle landings in Melaka, making it a vital site for conservation efforts.

Students were then guided through several learning stations, including visits to the gallery, turtle pond, and hatchery. At the hatchery, they learned how turtle eggs are carefully protected in nests approximately 45cm deep and monitored over a hatching period of around 60 days. The facility is capable of accommodating between 300 to 600 nests during each spawning season. Once hatched, baby turtles are released into the sea, continuing a natural life cycle that often sees them returning to their birthplace as adults.

The centre also emphasised that Hawksbill Turtles are a protected species under the Fisheries Act 1985, where only licensed individuals are permitted to handle or relocate eggs, reflecting the strict conservation measures in place to safeguard their survival.

Through this hands-on experience, students gained valuable insights into environmental stewardship and the importance of preserving marine biodiversity. The visit not only deepened their understanding of conservation efforts but also encouraged a stronger sense of responsibility towards protecting endangered species for future generations.
