 Urban Bird - watching: Discovering Nature in the City Even within the urban environment of UKM and its surrounding areas, there is a rich variety of bird species waiting to be discovered. Bird - watching is a wonderful hobby that allows students to connect with nature and observe the behavior of different birds. With just a pair of binoculars and a field guide, students can explore campus gardens, nearby parks, and even rooftops to spot colorful birds like sunbirds, bulbuls, and mynas. This activity provides an opportunity to learn about avian ecology, understand the importance of biodiversity in urban areas, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of campus life to appreciate the beauty of nature right at their doorstep.

 The Art of Calligraphy: A Therapeutic Hobby for Students In the digital age, calligraphy offers students at UKM a unique and therapeutic way to unwind. It combines the beauty of writing with artistic expression. Whether using traditional ink and brushes or modern calligraphy pens, the process of creating elegant letters and designs is highly meditative. Students can start with basic lettering styles and gradually progress to more complex compositions. Calligraphy has various applications, such as creating personalized greeting cards, designing event invitations, and even decorating study spaces. It is an excellent way to relieve academic stress and cultivate a new creative skill.

 The Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Campuses The Internet of Things is transforming UKM into a smarter campus. IoT devices, ranging from sensors in classrooms that monitor air quality and lighting levels to smart parking systems that help students find available parking spaces easily, are becoming increasingly prevalent. These interconnected devices communicate with each other and with central systems, collecting and analyzing data to optimize campus operations. For example, energy - management systems can utilize IoT sensors to adjust heating, ventilation, and air - conditioning (HVAC) based on occupancy, reducing energy consumption. Students can also engage in IoT - related projects, developing applications that further enhance the campus experience.

 Quantum Computing: The Next Frontier for UKM Students Quantum computing is on the verge of revolutionizing the technological landscape, and students at UKM have an excellent opportunity to explore its potential. Unlike traditional computers that operate with bits (0s and 1s), quantum computers rely on qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This unique property enables exponentially faster processing of complex problems. For instance, in the field of cryptography, quantum computing may break current encryption methods, thereby driving the development of quantum - resistant encryption technologies. At UKM, students majoring in computer science and related fields can begin to study quantum algorithms and the principles underlying these advanced machines. This exploration opens up new research directions and career opportunities in this burgeoning field.
