Leave a reply

Hello peeps!

In conjunction with the MJIIT-Tsukuba Joint Seminar, we also have done something good to the mother nature. Located in Kebun Bandar Kg. Sg. Bunus, Kuala Lumpur, we have done several activities such as tree-planting, water quality testing, colouring (it has been proven to reduce strees~) and learn how to do composting. This activity was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aznah Nor Anuar (CCIN, UTM KL) and her team. Big thanks to them! All participants from both institutions had such a great time.

Let’s check out some of the photos of this activities:


Till then, bye!

Today is the day 6 of the Restriction of Movement Order (RMO) and we are now officially working from home. As for today, we have 2 virtual meetings in a row. The 1st meeting is on the Key Focus Area (KFA) 2: Research Excellence, Industry & Community Engagement (10.00 am – 12.30 pm) led by Mr. Chew from TNCPI and the 2nd meeting is on KAI Group Presentation in the afternoon (2.30 pm – 4.30 pm ) between MJIIT members.

This is such a new experience for me and we hope to have better implementation for online teaching and learning too.

As for now, I have used Cisco WEBEX Meeting and Skype. Looking forward to use other online platforms. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

This year Joint Seminar was held on the 25th – 28th February 2020 with almost 60 participants from both institutions.

This Joint Seminar has become a platform for JMSES students from both universities in which the master students get to discuss, present their research and commented by the professors, supervisor and as well as getting inputs or feedbacks from other participants.

The seminar is also very important because the JMSES students will be graded by the panel professors. While at the same time, in a parallel session, those participants (master and undergraduate) who are not JMSES student also presented their research.

On the second day, all participants in groups will each presented their SDG topics of interest findings to the Professors and Senior Lecturers. Both UT and MJIIT faculties and students actively participated in the discussion.
