Personal Enrichment Skills (PEC) is a programme that holds a humongous contribution to graduate employability at Management and Science University (MSU). Both the students’ intellectual capacity and interpersonal capability are put in equilibrium and assured; not an iota of difference is given to the priority in the outcome; soft skills are assets that will only keep refining as we grow older through the accumulation of experiences, the finest of treasures to exist for one’s enrichment. PEC programmes are mandatory for every undergraduate to score in distinction to receive the Dean’s and President’s Awards. In the spirit of the University’s motto, Transforming Lives, Enriching the Future, the PEC programmes set a unique benchmark to define success and be competitive.
Hosted by the Academic Office (AO) and Centre of Fundamental Studies (CFS) of MSU, embodying the theme of Culture & Tourism (Heritage), the MSU PEC Carnival 5.0 unfolded on November 28. Over seven thousand five hundred MSUrians across all faculties in the September 2023 semester participated in an array of projects. Apart from serving as an avenue to demonstrate the various sub-branches of soft skills learned over the semester, the flagship carnival is devoted to inculcating a spirit of competitiveness among its participants and providing a pedestal for the students to highlight their talent and creativity.
Among the PEC subjects offered across the semesters are PEC 100 (Thinking Skills), PEC 101 (Critical Thinking Skills), PEC 102 (Creative Thinking Skills), PEC 200 (Communication Skills), PEC 201 (Oral Communication Skills), PEC 202 (Written Communication Skills), PEC 203 (Interprofessional Skills), PEC 300 (Management Skills), PEC 301 (Ethics and Values in Interprofessional Education), PEC 400 (Teamwork Skills), PEC 401 (Interprofessional Teamwork Skills), PEC 500 (Leadership Skills), PEC 501 (Interprofessional Leadership Skills), PEC 600 (Entrepreneurship Skills), PEC 700 (Information Technology Skills), PEC 800 (Wellness Management), PEC 801 (First Aid), PEC 802 (Court Games), PEC 900 (Halal Fundamental), PEC 901 (Halal Food), PEC 1100 (Visual Arts), PEC 1101 (Ceramic), PEC 1102 (Batik), and PEC 1200 (Sustainable Development Goal).
The major projects allocated for the September 2023 semester are Heritage Architecture Mock-up by PEC 100 at U-Concourse, Board Game Design by PEC 101 at U-Concourse, Cultural Short Film by PEC 102 at U-Plaza, Invention of Tourist Attractions: Promotional Materials (Brochures, Pamphlets) by PEC 200 at U-Plaza, Debate by PEC 201 at U-Plaza, Writing Material: A Short Story (Books) by PEC 202 at U-Plaza, Seminar on Culture and Tourism by PEC 300 and 301 at U-Plaza, Fashion Show by PEC 400 and 401 at U-Plaza, International Dance by PEC 500 and 501 at Performing Arts Theatre (PAT), Innovation Cultural and Tourism Product/Service by PEC 600 at U-Plaza, Video Culture Promotion by PEC 700 at U-Plaza, Creative Movement Competition by PEC 800 at U-Plaza, Skill Test (Court Games) by PEC 802 at U-Globe, Showcase by PEC 900 at U-Plaza, Live Painting by PEC 1100, Batik by PEC 1102, and Article Presentation by PEC 1200 at U-Plaza.
The closing ceremony for the carnival unfolded in the Chancellor Hall (CH) of MSU with over two thousand students in the presence of Professor Tan Sri Dato Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ad Yajib, the President of MSU; Professor Puan Sri Datuk Dr. Junainah Abd Hamid, the Vice Chancellor of MSU; Dato; Rosli Yusof, Senior Vice President of Endowment and Communication; Tanty Haryanty Tajudin; the Dean of Centre for Fundamental Studies; Halijah Hassan, Director of Student and Career Development; the senior management team; the deans and deputy deans; head of departments; and the PEC Master Trainers.
Addressing the crowd, Professor Dr. Mohd Shukri highlighted the vitality of themes—culture and heritage—drawing attention to the fact that they are indeed aligned with the University’s overarching goal of instilling intercultural learning in students. This endeavour facilitates their transformation into global citizens who continually appreciate and respect diverse cultures, along with promoting holistic attributes in balancing academic, soft skills, and character building via the PEC.
Following the speech, during the gimmick, the President completed an oil painting - crafted by the students from PEC 1100, who embarked on their first-ever painting endeavour which portrayed an oil lap glowing amidst a dark room, shedding light on a dry leaf by the window, drizzled by rain, with powerful imagery symbolising the preservation of wisdom, the passage of time, and the cyclical nature of our heritage - by adding a few white lines in the fire of the oil lamp, exemplifying the culmination and enrichment of the exquisite creation, aligning with the holistic learning experience fostered at MSU.
A short film highlighting the diverse cultures of Malaysia by PEC 102, International Dance (China and Africa) by PEC 500, and Creative Movement by PEC 800 were among the winning major projects showcased during the closing ceremony.
