Abstract

Coral reefs are highly diverse and productive ecosystem in the ocean that provides various goods services to human and environment. Located within the renowned ‘Coral Triangle’ region, Malaysia is one the thriving countries in Southeast Asia that possess rich marine resources and coral reefs. Like other coral reef around the world, coral reefs in Malaysia are exposed to multiple threat that jeopardize their well-being. Those relying on these ecosystems may face severe consequences if they are lost. In recent decades, research on characterizing modern coral reefs has increased in Malaysia, including identifying key species and their distribution, understanding the factors that control coral growth and assessing the impacts of environmental stressors on reef health. This study is aimed to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of modern coral characterization studies conducted in Malaysia. It presents the distribution maps of these coral reef studies conducted throughout Malaysia and discusses the techniques employed to characterize them. Most of the studies was conducted in South China Sea, particularly in East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia with Tioman Island, Pahang being identified as having the greatest number of studies. And, visual assessment have the higher frequency of use in characterizing Malaysia coral reef. Going forward, future studies in Malaysia should continue to explore others Malaysia reef, and techniques for characterizing coral reefs, while also conduct more studies in locations with limited research. These studies could have served as foundation resource for future conservation efforts in the face of ongoing threat and challenges.

Abstract

For engineering students, field trips to industrial facilities such as power plants provide invaluable hands-on experience in real-world settings. However, logistical constraints, safety concerns, restricted access, and financial limitations often prevent students from directly observing the operation of major equipment such as turbines, pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers. This study addresses these challenges by developing and evaluating a Virtual Reality (VR) application designed specifically for power plant education. As no pre-existing VR applications for power plant tours were available at the university, the system was developed from scratch. The VR creation process included scene planning, followed by the design of the virtual environment using specialized software such as Maya, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Audition, and Unity3D. A pre- and post-survey study was conducted to evaluate the VR application’s effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes. Participants were assessed on their understanding of power plant operations and overall experience with the VR tour. The results demonstrated that 65% of participants reported improved understanding of power plant operations, while 92% indicated they would recommend the VR experience to others. Additionally, 85% of participants rated the overall experience as good or excellent. These findings highlight the VR application’s potential to significantly enhance student engagement, improve comprehension of complex industrial systems, and provide a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional field trips. Overall, the study demonstrates the transformative potential of VR technology in engineering education. By addressing logistical and pedagogical challenges, VR offers an immersive and interactive platform for universities with limited access to industrial facilities. The results underscore VR’s effectiveness in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, paving the way for broader adoption in engineering and STEM curricula.
