It took me about 8-9 years to graduate my first doctorate students after back from Nottingham in 2012.
3 out of 4 finished with minor corrections (3-6 months correction).
2 of them can proudly graduated and returned to their home country.
The visit was on 25th till 27th February 2020. This is the 2nd official meeting between UTM and UNISULLA after the 1st meeting was held in school of civil engineering early this year. The plan is to co-organize the 12th International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering in Tropical Regions (GEOTROPIKA) and 2nd International Conference on Highway and Transportation Engineering (ICHITRA) in conjunction with International Conference on Delta & Coastal Areas (ICCDA). This international conference will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars from around the world to present and share their latest research results, ideas, developments, and applications in the areas of geotechnical, transportation and coastal engineering.
8 staff (JGP) attended together with few committees from UNISULLLA. It was a fruitful discussion and looking forward for more collaboration in the future.
It is my honor to fulfill this task in my own capacity and thank you very much for this opportunity and trust.
I’ve been appointed as technical advisor committee for Kolej Komuniti Kota Tinggi for 1 year effectively on 9th February 2020. It is aim to help them in monitoring the learning process of specific program (mine is appointed under construction Technology) to liaise with industrial needs. At the same time to expose the students for their career development in future.
Industrial Art & Technology Exhibition (INATEX) is one of the University’s program in Research and Development organised by Research Management Center (RMC). INATEX is an R&D exhibition that showcases UTM inventions and inovations. INATEX also acts as a competition for products develop by UTM researchers. The purpose of INATEX is to promote the research findings or products to the public by exhibiting the creative inventions and innovative products from UTM researchers. INATEX is also is a platform for UTM researchers to commercialize their research results at a higher level and to form a global network of intellectual partners together with industry. Therefore, researchers should always equip themselves with knowledge and skill and be familiar with the technology and new discoveries in the field of their expertise.
My respectful thanks to all of my team members and students who involved in this event.
Bronze is ours.
This subject is a compulsory subject for civil engineering students. The content of this subject will give a student basic understanding and exposure towards practical in Geotechnical Engineering. It will cover on basic soil properties which, consists of soil composition, soil classification and soil compaction. Besides that, it will also discuss on vertical stresses in soil due to overburden and external loading, water in soil and soil shear strength. The topic that will cover is important to civil engineers where most of problems occur at site will involve with geotechnical and soil mechanics. At the end of this subject, students will able to apply the knowledge on basic soil properties, soil classification and compaction properties, water in soil and shear strength parameters in the planning, analysis, design and supervision of related geotechnical works.
