Paper #3

Integrating BIM and GIS is not a straightforward task. There are issues from data mismatch and losses. In this research article, we tries to highlight the issues for construction project management.

Here you go!!!

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH GRANT SCHOLAR AWARD 2019

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH GRANT SCHOLAR AWARD 2019

I got a second email congratulating me on successfully received the 2019 Research Grant Scholar Award. In essence, this award honours faculty members who received grant funding for that year. I’m honored to receive this award even though I think there are others who better than me. Again, I would like to say thank you to the Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia for this award.

“Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.” – Denzel Washington

CERTIFIED SPATIAL DATA SCIENTIST

FOR SPATIAL DATA SCIENTISTS (MOOC)

It is not easy to be a student in an online course when you yourself is the instructor for the other 4 online courses. But that is not impossible. After almost 2 months trying, succeeded with flying colors. Yes, I’m just an old school student in a new norms school ✌🏻

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

Unexpectedly, for the first time ever, our internship students planned for a meal in the lab. Soon after our short research discussion, we enjoyed our meal and cakes. It goes on with good laugh and jokes together with our Research Officer and postgraduate students.

Upon completion of the internship, the students have remaining 2 weeks of study breaks before the new semester begins. Since they are doing well in their tasks, 3D GIS Research Lab is offering them an opportunity to continue their research tasks after completing their internship.

They accepted it since they like to learn new stuffs in the lab. I would say that the lab will be seeing them again for another two weeks. Happy researcher happy minds!

Farewell Session

FAREWELL SESSION

Since this week is the last week for the internship students at the 3D GIS Research Lab, I invited them to a farewell session at a nearby restaurant.

We have our meals and discuss about research (a bit) and the rest chatting about future plans and about their social life.

We enjoyed the food and the environment that night. Hope their memory with this lab will be good memories in doing their practical training.

All the best to them!

HIGHER EDUCATION INTEGRITY

HIGHER EDUCATION INTEGRITY

No matter where we are, integrity is a reflection of one’s personality. Even in the higher education, integrity in scientific writing to convey scientific facts is important.

Mentioning my previous post, I was asked by the World Health Organization – WHO Bulletin to evaluate an article to be published in the forthcoming Bulletin. The article is related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I have found that the article plagiarized and almost 70% of the results were taken from other sources without any accurate reference.

It is hesitant for me to write to the editor and state my suggestion that the article should not be published. But somehow I believe that right facts are important in ensuring the integrity of the scientific world for the better.

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” – Bob Marley
