He also mentions about the Programs that Malaysia must send student to further study in KYUTECH such as Jasso Program. After that, we have a presentation on our research study. From that, we can have learned different types of research study and learned some method of research.

We visited some of the Laboratory in Wakamatsu campus. During the visit we managed to see the Instrumentation used for the analysis and characterizations. The first lab that visited is Ikeno Sensei lab. This lab is doing on 3 main projects which are the detection of the bacteria spore, Peptide synthesis for Antigen detection and research on the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis. The second lab that visited is Tomohiro Kawahara sensei lab which is the biotechnology and robotic lab. The third la is Kazuto Takashima Lab. In this Lab, they are focusing on the invention of intelligent machine which study on the soft sensors and actuators to minimize invasive surgery. The last laboratory visited is Yoshito Ando sensei laboratory which focusing on the development of graphene and Porous PLLA Films.

In Tobata Campus, we managed to visit the KYUTECH museum which shows how the it was evolved from Private university until it is become the National University since 1907. Besides that, we also saw many historical stuff of KYUTECH. After that, we visited some of the Lab in that Tobata campus such as Toshiki Miyazaki lab which developed the visible light responsive photocatalyst and develop the photoelectrochemical system for selective organic synthesis. After that, we visited Takenaka sensei laboratory. The lab is biological lab which is focusing on DNA analysis and synthesis. Besides that, we also listened the presentation from the USM and UNIMAP representative for collaboration purposes.

1. Yaskawa Industry
2. Eco House
3. Environmental Museum

Yaskawa Industry is a robot production industry which produced variety of functional robots. They show us many different types of robots such as picking card robots, passing ring robot, high speed sorting robot, minicar assembly robot, intelligence robot and dancing robots. They also entertained us with the Mechatronics- wall and the Robotic signage performance. In the evening, we went to the Eco house. The house is energized by hydrogen energy from the industry. Not only the house, the car also used hydrogen energy to move. In the Environmental Museum, they showed us how the transformation of polluted Fukuoka city caused by the industries to Clean and fresh Fukuoka city also caused by the industries. They showed as how two plastic bottles can turned into a shirt and how they reused the waste.

2. Biotope Centre

Ecotown Centre is the place to see the environmental care activity. They show us the idea of solar system applications, the recycle activity and how they transfer a waste into a new product. Besides that, they also show us one application that they used to assist the daily energy used in their house.

After went back to hotel, we must prepare the report in slide presentation about our journey along the trip in Fukuoka Japan.

In this final day, we went back to Wakamatsu for the report presentation which we show the Sakura Science representative about the benefits and knowledge gain from this visit.  After the presentation, the program was closed by a certificate of achievement ceremony. Before back to Malaysia the next day, they entertained us with as farewell party.
