Student Internship Presentation

Usually it’s not a compulsory to make any presentation as an internship student. However, if you think about how important it is to make a progress presentation once a week, it will actually help students to improve their confidence and skills in communicating and presenting points to the public. Taking our little precious time to listen to this presentation may change them in the future.

I urge firms or agencies that appoint/hire internship students, educate them to be a career ready person. Don’t because they are internship students, they are only burdened with technical work without focusing on their soft skills development before getting into the industries. Do not blame the students or their institutions if they cant do the tasks. They are still in training.

I would say treat them as internships students and not as “backbenchers”.

Student Internship

STUDENT INTERNSHIP

Received three students to undergo practical training at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s 3DGIS Research Lab.

Whilst ensures of the new norm, the duty-report of these internship students is made online. Our Research Officer QA41 (RO) provided an online 3D spatial modelling training on the first day of this internship.

Although these internship students receive a monthly allowance through the use of laboratory research funds, it is hoped that they will also be able to gain additional knowledge in the conduct of basic research as researchers.

Let us all pray that this pandemic will be lowered so that students can carry out research projects in the laboratory.

Writing a Journal

WRITING A JOURNAL

It was a success a while back when we successfully published a manuscript in this journal. It can be difficult if you don’t have the experience of writing a #journal #manuscript.

But it was a bit of a shock when the manuscript was being the #mostdownloaded #GIS paper in the journal for many years. At that time, the term “open access” was still very relatively uncommon. Each year, appreciation email was sent from the Editor regarding the most downloaded paper of the journal.

Many years later, the #experience of publishing a journal remains a memory. The intention to start writing the manuscript was to share our research works with other #researchers around the world.

“It’s #publish or #perish”
