2021 Day 161 Task – Checking My EER PhD Student’s Proposal

Posted on June 11, 2021 ·

I spent my Friday morning and afternoon checking and providing comments on my PhD EER Student who is very far far away at UAE or Sudan or United States (yes, he lives in all those places and travel a lot in between those locations). Prior to reading the report and progress, I also read several more completed PhD EER projects by previous CEE students. It’s quite different from the normal chemical engineering research… I can say it is more directed to the social sciences approach. But, I finally written down my comments and passed it to the Co-SVs.

Other highlighted tasks of the day:

  • Discussed about BCREC paper Chapter 4 – Nazlina, already pending due to submit correction.
  • Went through some EXCEL reports from my PA students – verified and approved their activities.

Posted on June 8, 2021 ·

I always wanted to explore and venture into new things, new ways, new methods for my teaching and learning. Finally it was time that I decided to attempt using Quizziz.

2021 Day 153 Task – Online Roadshow on UTM Micro-Credential

Posted on June 3, 2021 ·

Today, I attended and learned more about micro credential program that UTM is planning to do. It’s a very good idea and concept since it provides flexibility for participants to be future students with ease (as the courses that they took before can be counted as a credit subject that he or she has earned). This roadshow will provide an overview of UTM-MC and the steps to develop a MC course. Here are some of the benefits of developing MC courses :

  • Opportunity for faculties / schools to develop stackable courses – existing academic courses divided into smaller MC courses.
  • UTM students who completed a stackable course may apply for credit transfer.
  • Opportunity to develop a stackable course with professional certification – collaboration with industrial partners.
  • Opportunity to convert existing short and professional courses to MC courses.
  • Opportunity for lecturers to develop any type of courses – for skills development, for public awareness etc.
  • Provide flexibility for learners in terms of time and pace.
  • Income generation for course developers (up to 80%), schools and faculties.

Other highlighted tasks of the day:

  • Week 5 SCEE RAE weekly meeting – 5pm.
  • Checked my PhD student’s draft paper review.
  • Checked Shams’ engineering identity draft paper.
  • Submit proceeding publishing agreement for RCEE2021.
  • Interview CEO-04 – 9pm
  • Perjumpaan untuk mendapatkan maklumbalas sempena audit dalaman fakulti kejuruteraan – 9.30am
  • Reviewed a manuscript from International Journal of Environment and Climate Change Journal.
