17 April 2019 -  The manufacturing process at DELL APCC2 in Bukit Minyak covers assembly, software installation and quality control. More than 150,000 units produced per year in this facility from 120 product families.

The trip to DELL APCC2 provides a valuable experience for both the students and academic staff. With an aim to go beyond academics, this industrial visit provides students a practical perspective of the work place. It provides an insight on applications of software in the industry, and an exposure to Agile Software Engineering practices and software testing in particular. The academic staff gain more knowledge about the career prospects of the related area and gain a valuable connection with Dell.

At their in-house Testing Lab, DELL APCC2 analyzes commercial data to identify important configurations and perform pilot testing on priority configurations in order to develop and apply the manufacturing process. Their products and solutions are well tested before being shipped. With their impressive Testing Lab, DELL APCC2 aims to be recognised as a software defined organization, inline with their Software Engineering Initiative Hub in the northern area of Malaysia.

In conjunction with International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Girls in ICT Day celebration, the School of Computer Sciences, USM in collaboration with Telebort will launch the . The campaign aims to encourage and empower girls and young women to consider studies and careers in ICT, thus enabling both girls and technology companies to reap the benefits of greater female participation in the ICT sector in Malaysia.

The campaign consists of a series of workshops to be hosted at a few selected primary schools in Penang. The task force led by Dr. Jasy Liew, Dr. Teh Je Sen and Dr. Azleena Mohd Kassim and advised by Dr. Rosni Abdullah was set up to plan and organize the workshop and campaign together with Mr. Kee Chong Wei, the CEO of Telebort.
