Day 43 Task – Completing My Registration in Society of Engineering Education Malaysia (SEEM)

Alhamdulillah today I completed the registration as an ordinary member with Society of Engineering Education Malaysia (SEEM). I have registered online somewhere 2-3 weeks ago, but I haven’t paid the fee yet. Well, today I have officially paid the registration and annual fee, RM150.

If you are an engineering educator, I highly suggest you to join this society. There are plenty of activities that can uplift and strengthen our knowledge and skill as an engineering educator “Writing and Publishing Scholarly Experience Sharing Papers in Engineering and STEM Education Workshop and “Flipped Classroom Workshop”. Just check out the SEEM official Website to see the trainings and workshops offered: https://www.seem.my/

Day 39 Task – Reviewing Manuscript for BCREC Journal

I spent some time to review a manuscript assigned to me by editor from Bulletin of Chemical Reaction and Catalysis (BCREC). The review was my 15th review since I started reviewing manuscript under BCREC few years ago. It is a very interesting and amazing experience since I can read other researcher’s idea in research, especially in the same research niche as myself.

One day, perhaps somewhere this year, I intend to submit a paper in this journal myself. InsyaAllah. And one day, I hope I can be an editor for this journal.
