This program is jointly\nimp lemented with the Pontian District Education Office (PPD Pontian) and the IEEE\nComSoc/VTS Joint Chapter\, with support from the Johor State Educati on Department (JPNJ).\nIt is also sponsored by the IEEE Council on RFID Ma laysia\, IEEE AP/MTT/EMC\nMalaysia Chapter\, Enviromet Technologies Sdn. B hd.\, Sigtech Engineering Sdn. Bhd.\, and\nGlobal Lightning Technologies ( M) Sdn. Bhd.\nFollowing the success of PIE 2024\, PIE 2025 is now extended throughout the state of Johor.\nThis program emphasizes the application o f Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Internet of\nThings (IoT) technologies for both secondary school teachers and students\, aligning with the\ngoals of 21st-century learning.\nThe ToT Workshop held on 7 May 2025 brought to gether 25 mentor teachers and five STEM\ncoordinators from five districts in Johor: Pontian\, Johor Bahru\, Pasir Gudang\, Kulai\, and Kota\nTinggi. Also participating were six undergraduate students from FKE\, who had ser ved as\nfacilitators in PIE 2024.\nThe workshop marked the commencement of Phase 1 of PIE 2025\, which runs from May to\nJuly 2025. This phase focus es on intensive facilitator training and includes the PIE Camp\,\nschedule d to take place on 29–30 July 2025 at UTM Johor Bahru. Phase 2 (August –September\n2025) involves the development of innovative prototypes at p articipating schools and\nculminates in an e-Design Innovation Competition and closing ceremony on 24 September\n2025. Phase 3 (October–December 2 025) focuses on the expansion of school STEM clubs and\nknowledge transfer programs at the school level.\nDuring the ToT Workshop\, participants wer e introduced to five main modules that serve as the\nfoundation for IoT-ba sed innovation projects in schools. These modules include the CDIO\n(Conce ive – Design – Implement – Operate) framework\, an overview of IoT s ystems\, the use\nof the Wokwi simulator\, ESP32 hardware development\, an d mobile application development\nusing Blynk.\nWith the theme "IoT for Ne t-Zero Carbon"\, PIE 2025 contributes directly to the achievement\nof seve ral Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, particularly in quality educati on\,\ntechnological innovation\, and climate action. This initiative suppo rts the national agenda in\nnurturing a future generation that is technolo gically literate and environmentally conscious.\nOverall\, the ToT Worksho p successfully achieved its core objectives of empowering teachers\nto lea d STEM education in schools and training UTM students as facilitators who are ready to\ncontribute to community development. This program lays a sol id foundation for a more\ninclusive\, innovative\, and sustainable grassro ots education ecosystem.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Fakulti Kejuruteraan Elektrik \, UTM Johor Bahru\n\nThe Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE)\, Univer siti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)\, Skudai\, Johor\, Malaysia LOCATION:The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE)\, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)\, Skudai\, Johor\, Malaysia ORGANIZER:cheechin10@gmail.com SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:KEM Project Ideation Experience (PIE) 2025 Phase 1 :UTM Empowers Se condary School STEM and IoT Education through PIE 2025 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/504063 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE )\, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) continues<br>its proactive efforts in strengthening STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and<br>Mathem atics) education through the organization of the Train-the-Trainers (ToT) Workshop<br>under the Project Ideation Experience (PIE) 2025 initiative.
