The launch of the MAHE-Forbes Marshall Centre for Steam Engineering and Energy Conservation is a landmark event in advancing the cause of greater industry and academic partnerships with the common goal of enhancing the pursuit of research, innovation, and practical learning in steam engineering and energy conservation. This will enable a dynamic interface between industries and academia to bridge synergies to carry out focused research, knowledge sharing, skill building, and undertaking activities such as internships, bilateral expert engagements, value-added competitions, and joint projects. By working towards the challenges posed by sustainable energy consumption, the Centre will help to build greater industry preparedness among graduating students, academic rigor in the industry, and create opportunities for Forbes Marshall and MAHE to develop future-ready engineers who are geared to make a real impact on energy efficiency and sustainability.
