The DGTM students introduces existing approaches in incorporating environmental consideration in business with a specific focus on identifying and managing trade-ofs between environmental technology and contemporary practices. Lecturer, Ms. Nurul Izzati Binti Mat Akhir, encourages our students to immerse themselves in the industry to enhance their education through a hands on approach.

Our students were tasked with finding the green qualities of the companies and products featured in the ASIAWATER exhibition. The eager students displayed strong communication skills as they dove into the booths absorbing information from those with hands on experience in the industry. They were also able to explore techniques and innovations on wastewater treatment and management, a subject that will be taught later on in the diploma course.
