Welcoming Batch 3 to the SCA Family

Orientation day vibes — excited to welcome our newest students to the Department of Automation & Supply Chain Systems Engineering. Let the journey begin.

Let the journey begin

The Department of Automation & Supply Chain Systems Engineering (ASCSE), Faculty of Engineering, Royal University of Phnom Penh, welcomed its newest intake — Batch 3 — with an orientation held in the department’s own room rather than a lecture hall. Chairs were pulled into a circle, name tags were written by hand, and students, seniors and lecturers spent the session introducing themselves to one another. A small, informal start to four years together.

Lecturers and seniors in the same circle

Rather than a formal introduction from a podium, the academic team and the senior students joined the circle alongside Batch 3 — the fastest way for a new intake to learn who to ask, and about what.
