iHumEn<\/span><\/h2>\n

Institute of Human Centered Engineering (iHumEn) is a multidisciplinary Research Institute, combination of experts and the faculty\u2019s strengths from computing, biomedical, electric\/electronic, mechanical, chemical, education, and social sciences. iHumEn explore the potential of human-centered technology to enrich, benefit and transform societal life. This Institute is supported by four excellent research pillars: IJN-UTM Cardiovascular Engineering Centre; Media and Game Innovation Centre of Excellence (MaGICX); Medical Devices and Technology Centre (MEDiTEC); and Sport Innovation Technology Centre (SITC) that was officially operated in 2015 with the former known as IHCE. In 2018, it was rebranded to iHumEn to most imitate the human technology and application.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
