The SPE-UTB Student Chapter (SPE-UTB SC), which was launched yesterday at Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), signalled a new beginning for the newly elected committee in bringing about the association’s objectives and goals.
The new President of the SPE-UTB SC (2016-2017), Nur Amirah Hamizah binti Roslan, told the Sunday Bulletin that their focus is to reach out to all the students of UTB. Previously, the institute was open only to students of petroleum engineering.
Established just last year, SPE-UTB SC is the first student chapter in Brunei Darussalam, and has its core focus on helping students gain employment in other sectors apart from the petroleum industry.
According to Nur Amirah, SPE-UTB SC is always reaching out to companies and organisations, to enhance the employability of UTB’s graduates.
The launch event began with the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and a Doa Selamat by Muhammad Syazwan Sahdun, SPE-UTB SC’s Public Relations Officer.
