About UTM & Mechanical Engineering in UTM:

The School of Mechanical Engineering (SME) in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, was formerly known as the Fakulti Kejuruteraan Jentera (FKJ). It was founded in 1975 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. FKJ moved to a new campus in Skudai on June 1989.

About MESA:

Mechanical Engineering Student Association (MESA) is one of the student organizations under the School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). We were formerly known as Persatuan Kejuruteraan Jentera (PETERA) before going through the transition & rebranding in 2021 into MESA with the aims towards a more structured and well-organized students’ association. MESA offers equal and vast opportunities to equip our members and students with skills and technical knowledge to enhance their self-development. MESA also aims to provide a platform for students to enhance their professional competencies, soft skills, as well as offering connections with professionals through various collaborations with our industry partners. MESA’s main motto is Empower Future Engineers & Leaders as we look forward to helping our members grow their potential in the engineering-related fields while strengthening the core of leadership traits among themselves.
