AERC Alternative Energy Research Center AERC Alternative Energy Research Center AMTEx Advance Manufacturing Technology Excellence Center AMTEx Avanced Manufacturing Technology Excellence Center 1 Introduction Manufacturing is one of the contributing factors in Malaysia for achieving a sustainable economic growth. About two decades back, Malaysia‟s manufacturing sector for the first time exceeded the agriculture sector in terms of contribution to the nation‟s Gross Domestic Products (GDP). Today, the manufacturing sector contributes about 35% of the nation‟s GDP and contributed about 30% of the workforce. Currently, Malaysia is facing a new era – the era of advance technology for the manufacturing sector. In order to be successful in a very competitive global market and to become a fully developed nation, Malaysia must prepare its workforce for the future in a very strategic manner. Technologies are changing and manifesting in a very rapid manner and the market is no longer constrained to a limited national boundary. To compete and being a successful global player in a turbulent and unpredictable millennium, Malaysians must be more efficient, knowledgeable, innovative, creative and adaptable to changing technology. One of the approaches to achieve that objective is through education, continuous education and training for its people. Centre of Excellence can become a place where the staff and students are trained and prepared for new challenges and where new researches will be initiated. FME is planning to develop a new Centre of Excellence which focuses on advanced manufacturing process and technology. The centre will be named as “Advanced Manufacturing Technology Excellence Centre” or AMTEx for short. The need for developing a Centre of Excellence in this field has been recognized by other local universities years ago. 2 CoE’s logo AMTEx Avanced Manufacturing Technology Excellence Center 3 Vision To be a global leader in advancing manufacturing technology and in realizing the economic benefits through innovation dissemination and commercialization. 4 Mission “To continuously strive for novel research finding and innovation through collaboration with local and international partners towards commercialization and K-economy based achievement” 5.
