Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) added another feather to its cap when six of its projects were awarded gold medals at the recently concluded 17th International Exhibition on Invention, Innovation, Industrial Design and Technology (ITEX '06). One of the gold recipients also received a Special Award - The Moscow Award for Best Invention in Medical Science. The Exhibition, organised by the Malaysian Invention and Design Society (MINDS) was held at the KL Convention Centre from the 19th to the 21st of May 2006. This achievement effectively places UTP on par in research field with the other established local public universities. In addition, from a total of 17 projects sent by UTP to participate in ITEX '06, the University also received two silver medals and seven bronze medals in this competition. This performance is unprecedented for a private university at the 17th edition of this exhibition.
Among the private universities, UTP is first with UNITEN at second place with two gold, one silver and two bronze. Last year UTP won only one gold, eight silver and ten bronze from the 24 exhibits fielded.
This year's achievement definitely reflects upon the strength of the university in aspiring to be a centre of innovation and creativity. The feat is also more impressive considering the fact that four of the gold, one silver and four bronze medals were contributed from undergraduate projects, while other universities fielded mostly research projects funded from various sources.
UTP's winning projects are as below :

- Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle With On-Board Linear Generator
