Terengganu Inc. has committed RM75,000 to foster student talent in aerospace and drone technology at SMK Bukit Sawa. This initiative is part of the company's corporate social responsibility efforts, aiming to provide students with early exposure to high-impact technologies. The support is particularly focused on developing skills in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including avionics, programming, and flight control. Company executives expressed pride in the students' capabilities, noting their advanced understanding and practical application of integrated systems. Students in Forms Two and Three have demonstrated proficiency in controlling, flying, programming, and coordinating UAV systems, a level considered highly advanced for their age. This exposure is expected to provide students with a significant advantage should they pursue careers in the aerospace, composite materials, or UAV industries. The experience gained from operating advanced technology from a young age offers a comprehensive understanding beyond theoretical knowledge, preparing them for future professional roles.

When we see their performance, they already have integrated systems, avionics, and are able to control that system.
