An industrial visit to the Regional Sewage Treatment Plant (RSTP), Kota Setar, Kedah was conducted on 12 November 2025, involving 36 final-year undergraduate students from the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering programme, accompanied by five (5) FKTA lecturers.

The RSTP Kota Setar is a newly developed treatment plant equipped with advanced technology and a design capacity of 100,000 population equivalent (PE), operated by Indah Water Konsortium (IWK). The visit provided students with valuable real-world exposure to modern wastewater treatment practices, including wastewater treatment processes, engineering design of treatment systems, daily plant operations in compliance with industry standards, and the importance of wastewater management within the context of sustainability.

This experiential learning opportunity strengthened students’ understanding of the design, operation and management of wastewater treatment systems implemented by IWK, effectively bridging theoretical knowledge with real-world industrial practice.
