Date:

19th May 2009

20 lectures along with 119 under-graduates from Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama Seri Begawan Negara Brunei Darussalam went to OGDC for an educational visit. The visit was one of the activities for the Educational Intellectual Development Programme for the Final Year Undergraduates of 2006-2009 sessions, under Sijil Latihan Perguruan Ugama course. One of the objectives of the visit was to expose the undergraduates to gain general knowledge and more information from the educational visit.

The group arrived in OGDC at about 9.00am and were warmly welcomed by Md. Aiman Yusra bin Md. Yusof, one of the Education Team members. The visiting group was divided into two groups: the ladies group and the gents group. The ladies group was led to the Exhibition Hall first by the Exhibition Hall Facilitators: Hazean Nuruliqma binti Md. Azrin, Halimahtul Sa'diah binti Hj. Awg. Nordin, Sharon Martine, Ruth Tabba Anak Walter Undom and Azrina binti Hidup. Then followed by the gents group, led by Allen Justine, Md. Suhardy bin Hj. Hambali and Md. Aiman Yusra bin Md. Yusof.

Once they enter the Exhibition Hall, the groups were given a safety briefing by Nurthesa binti K. Salim, the Administration Assistant. In the Exhibition Hall, the groups were exposed to the general information on the history as well as the development of oil and gas industry. Other than that, the group also had the chance to try out the interactive exhibits available in OGDC, which includes the Bed of Nails, Human Gyroscope, Tesla Coil, Finger Tingler, Pedal Generator, Plasma Tube, and the Mind Ball. The group really enjoyed their time while inside the Exhibition Hall and at the same time, they also could learn more on science and technology.

At the end of the visit, the group gathered together inside the OGDC Gallery building for a souvenirs exchange session between the Head of Visit and Roslan bin Hj. Abd. Rahman, the Head of OGDC. Later, the group had a photography session right in front of the Gallery building before going back to their institution.
