Congratulations to Prof Dr Khairiyah Mohd Yusof as the recipient of the Student Platform in Engineering Education Development (SPEED) Mentorship Award, by the SPEED executive committee and SPEED Global Student Forum (GSF) organizing committee in partnership with Dassault Systemes at the World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF 2017) held on Monday, 13 November 2017. The award is presented to Prof Dr. Khairiyah Mohd Yusof who has proven to be a mentor for students all over the world where her voice and ideas are implemented to affect change in engineering education.
In the award letter to Prof Dr. Khairiyah Mohd Yusof, it was cited that:
Prof Dr Khairiyah Mohd Yusof is very patient as she mentors her students to push their own limits of achievement. She teaches her students to be more independent in making decisions, building skills and gaining knowledge.
Her innovation in teaching and learning via Cooperative Problem-Based Learning has positively impacted students’ problem-solving assets and developing more constructive skills. With appropriate scaffolding such as motivation, encouragement, and facilitation, she helps her students to construct new engineering knowledge and also coaches them to refine the skills they already have.
In addition to the years of work she has put in developing students in engineering education, her mentorship towards members of SPEED (local and international) and the organization of the Global Student Forum 2017 is truly instrumental in organizing an intentional and well-thought-out event.
UTM is proud with the recognition received by Prof Dr. Khairiyah Mohd Yusof, for all the works that she has done in mentoring the students.

He said, holistic curricula for academic programs at higher levels must be improved, taking into account the current changes and demands of the global arena, especially in effective teaching and learning.
“Research in higher education especially in Engineering and STEM education should aim to benefit society at large, and should not be left archived in journals on shelves.
“I believe that in the spirit of open discussion and collaborative efforts to solve mutual problems facing the world today, this forum will be a fruitful meeting of the minds that will ultimately lead to innovative ideas and recommendations.
“I hope that this forum will continue to be a platform to promote the paradigm shift and enhance collaboration, networking and continual exchange of ideas in a global environment to foster and enhance research in Engineering Education,” he said.

Sharing interesting stories on acts of kindness in the spirit of giving to UTM.
1. Through salary deductions ranging from RM1 to RM5, 164 staff of UTM are making monthly contributions to the UTM Endowment Fund. It is an amazing sacrifice to UTM, no matter how small the contribution may be. It is not the amount that matters but their sincere ‘act of kindness’ is making a difference to the lives of students in UTM who are in need. A reflection of a true UTM DNA. Something to be proud of! Alhamdulillah.
2. Yesterday morning, as a last minute effort, a simple whatsap was sent to one of the top corporate figures I know. Amazingly, the simple message touched the heart of the corporate figure, ending in a RM 100k donation to UTM Endowment (of course t’ru the company CSR fund). Alhamdulillah. A noble gift indeed!
Two different stories in terms of monetary value but both are noble acts of kindness and a remarkable spirit of giving to make a difference. May Allah accept their kindness with the best rewards, insyaallah
We will not stop this fundraising drive. It will continue beyond Royal Gala Dinner, and anyone can contribute, at any time with any amount. Thank you all
