Green Initiatives towards Sustainable Product Design at Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Mara

In today´s world, many products are designed and produced to assist people in their daily activities. These products such as teaching aids and simple machineries are continuously designed and produced to accommodate the needs of consumers worldwide. However, due to the rapid development of the technology, the green aspects of the products are being neglected. Therefore, Malaysia Qualification Agency in their Qualification Framework has given great emphasis to the importance of demonstrating an understanding of the impact of engineering practices, taking into account the need for sustainable development in the Program learning outcome (PLO). The aim of this study is to look into the initiative towards the protection of the environment through the engineering products that have been designed and produced by students of Kolej Kemah Iran Tinggi MARA Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang (KKTMBP). The research will be carried out by observing the engineering products produced by the students and the assessment will be done by the course coordinator according to the criteria given in order to substantiate the research. Through this research, the existence of initiatives among the students to apply sustainable environment values in designing their engineering products are evident.
