The idea of renovating the SCL rooms was the result of a collaborative research between Malaysian Research Universities (MRU) and Australian Innovative Research Universities (AIRU). UTM was represented by former dean of Faculty of Education UTM, Professor Dr. Baharuddin Aris, and Research Manager of Faculty of Education UTM, Dr. Abdul Halim Abdullah.

Furthermore, the motivation to implement active learning spaces in the faculty is derived from UTM New Academia Learning Innovation (NALI) initiative which emphasises blended learning approach.

The design of SCL rooms was based on Pedagogy, Space & Technology (PST) Framework.

The SCL rooms allow users to act and behave differently, serving as an effective medium for constructivism integration.

Inquiry, scenario-based learning, service learning, problem-based learning and collaborative learning which demand active participation and learning mobility are well suited to be conducted in the rooms.

Mobile tables and chairs, multiple whiteboard around the rooms and two projectors at different sides of the SCL rooms allow the student-centred learning approaches to be conducted effectively and successfully.

Students and lecturers who had their teaching and learning experiences in the rooms provided positive feedback when asked about the practicality of the rooms in  providing the transition from conventional teaching to student-centred approach.

In summary, Faculty of Education, UTM realizes the need to upgrade our teaching facilities in the era of education IR 4.0 therefore efforts are being made to transform existing conventional lecture rooms to student-centred rooms.

Team “HEALTH SIGHT” was adjudged the overall winner with their intelligent surveillance system that is able to understand and predict activities and movements of the patients, using deep learning technology, to prevent unwanted incidents.

The team from FKE consists of Lim Ji Chen, Chin Linn Kern, Chin Hung Vui, under the guidance of Dr Eileen Su Lee Ming. ‘HEALTH SIGHT’ will represent Malaysia to compete with more than 10 different Asian countries in the coming regional finals, to vie for the Imagine Cup Microsoft Worldwide Finals in Seattle, USA, which has a prize pool of $USD 100 K for the global winner.

Another UTM team won 2ndRunner up with their invention “bbCare”, a lightweight and portable IoT fetal monitoring system with machine learning, to predict and alert pregnant mothers about the condition of the fetus.

The ‘bbCare’ was successfully developed by Cheah Weng Soon, Lee Kong Yong and Tew Ken Sam, supervised by Dr Yeong Che Fai and Dr Mohd Amri Bin Md Yunus. This project also with collaboration with Dr Woon Shu Yuan from Hospital Sultanah Aminah.

Team ‘JOY’ from UTM also made it into the national finals with their companion robot aimed to reduce loneliness of elderly, as well as assisting nurses at care centres. The team members are Tan Pei Seng, Lee Chee Heng and Goh Kai Woon, supervised Dr Yeong Che Fai. This project was developed in collaboration with Dr Lim Geng Yan, CEO of Jasper Lodge Elderly Care Centre.

Imagine Cup is a global competition that empowers the next generation of computer science students to team up and use their creativity, passion and knowledge of technology to create applications that shape how we live, work and play.

The champion of the Imagine Cup National Final 2018 will be representing Malaysia to compete with other champions from multiple countries in Asia.

Imagine Cup National Final 2018 was held in Microsoft Malaysia Office, Menara 3 Petronas, Kuala Lumpur.

Derek Chung Zhong Kang has emerged as the CHAMPION of the Paper Competition in Exploration category and CHAMPION in the Poster Competition, fourth year student Cha Chong Yee as 1ST RUNNER UP of the Paper Competition in Drilling category and third year student
Chuah Kai Jie as the CHAMPION of the Paper Competition in Reservoir category.
