On 23 September 2025, SEGi University’s Kota Damansara campus became the centre of hands-on learning as the Department of Quantity Surveying, under the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology, welcomed Foamcrete Sdn. Bhd. for an Industry to Classroom session focused on the Industrialized Building System (IBS). The session, led by industry expert Mr Micheal, brought together Quantity Surveying and Civil Engineering students for an experience that blended technical insight with real-world construction practice.
The programme opened with a detailed technical presentation where students were introduced to the concepts, benefits and growing importance of IBS in the modern construction industry. Mr Micheal explained how IBS supports faster project delivery, improves material efficiency and enhances safety standards, giving students a clearer understanding of why the system is increasingly adopted in Malaysia. The talk also unpacked practical applications and industry trends, offering students a valuable context for their academic studies.
The highlight of the session came when the classroom transformed into a live demonstration space. Students had the rare opportunity to observe IBS components being handled and applied in real time, allowing them to connect theoretical knowledge with actual construction techniques. Watching the materials up close, understanding the workflow and seeing the practical challenges addressed on the spot provided an eye-opening experience. A lively Q&A session followed, where students engaged actively with Mr Micheal, asking about cost implications, site coordination, sustainability factors and long-term industry demand.
Beyond the learning experience, this collaboration between SEGi University and Foamcrete Sdn. Bhd. reinforced the institution’s commitment to industry-linked education. The session not only enriched classroom learning but also laid the groundwork for future partnerships, industry projects and internship opportunities. It was a meaningful reminder that preparing students for the real world requires strong connections with the professionals shaping the built environment.
This initiative supports SEGi University’s contributions to SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, and SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
