Speak Out for Engineering (SOfE) competition was an initiative of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, UK (IMechE) since 1964, with the aim to challenge young engineers’ communication skills  by giving an effective presentation to a group of audience who may know little about engineering.

As an Affiliate member of the IMechE and UNMC representative, Mr Alireza (a 1^st year student from the Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering  and the in-coming chairman of UNMC IMechE Student Chapter) has competed alongside contestants from University Malaya, University Teknologi Mara, Taylor’s University, Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation, Monash University Malaysia Campus, and University Tenaga Nasional in the National Level SOfE competition held at UiTM, 8^th Dec 2013. He was announced the national champion and selected as the sole representative of IMechE Malaysia to compete in the South East Asia Regional (SEAR) SOfE competition held in Bangkok, Thailand (March 2013). Representatives from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore were contested in the event and Alireza has won the 1^st runner-up award in the SEAR SOfE.
