On 26 November 2024, the University of Malta’s Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering hosted a highly successful Technical Symposium in collaboration with STMicroelectronics Malta. The event aimed to strengthen ties between academia and industry, creating a platform for knowledge-sharing on the application of 6-Sigma and the DMAIC process improvement methodology.
Held at the University, the symposium brought together academics, students, and industry professionals to discuss innovative projects and explore avenues for future collaboration. The morning session featured presentations showcasing projects carried out by STMicroelectronics and cutting-edge research from the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
The ERIL lobby hosted a poster presentation, providing additional insights into ST’s projects and offering attendees, including students, academics, and ST engineers, an excellent networking opportunity. In the afternoon, ST engineers toured the University’s IME and MNE labs, where Research Support Officers (RSOs) explained and demonstrated their ongoing research projects. This interactive session allowed ST representatives to gain a deeper understanding of the University’s research capabilities and the potential for collaboration.
The event was organized by Dr Joseph Zammit from the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and Ing. Kevin Formosa, Ing. Raymond Spiteri, and Ms. Mary Grace Cave from STMicroelectronics Malta, with outstanding support from RSOs Andrea Bondin and Matthew Grech, who were instrumental in the event’s success.
The symposium underscored the importance of bridging the gap between academia and industry, highlighting the benefits of working together to drive innovation and foster the development of future professionals. The University of Malta is proud to collaborate with industry leaders like STMicroelectronics to create opportunities for knowledge exchange and inspire the next generation of engineers.
