CHARTING THE COURSE: LEADING GEOINFORMATION’S STRATEGIC PLANNING

CHARTING THE COURSE: LEADING GEOINFORMATION’S STRATEGIC PLANNING

“PM Dr. Uznir, boleh rancangkan perancangan utk jabatan tahun depan?”

(When you have to be the mastermind strategist for the Geoinformation department for two consecutive years)

This is where I lead the Geoinformation department as Program Chair for strategic planning two years in a row! We call it as Geoinformation Healing 2023 program. 

Mastermind in action, pen and board just perfect for me.

Our brainstorming sessions have transformed ideas into action, with 7 task-forces now actively working towards our goals. Looking forward to the remarkable insights they’ll unveil in the coming year. Together, we navigate the future of Geoinformation!

Exciting day at the UTM GIS Training Camp 1!

Exciting day at the UTM GIS Training Camp 1!

Had the privilege of teaching nearly 60 enthusiastic students the art of topographic map making using data from diverse sources for the beautiful Sireh Park, Johor Bahru.

In just a day, our students learned the skills to create impressive maps in the morning and later confidently presented their work in the afternoon.

Huge thanks to my amazing postgraduate students – Husna, Farah, and Shakirah – for their invaluable assistance in making this event a great success!
