Today is the start of the SCEE RAE Fellowship program. I participated in this program and I wish to learn precious skills and knowledge from the experts from UCL, RAE and other institutions. There are 25 participants from 17 institution around the world.
The first program commenced at 5pm to 7pm Malaysia time, 6th May 2021.
As the title says, I prepared the test question for Petroleum and Refinery Technology Course that I am teaching this semester.
Other highlighted tasks:
Since RCEE2021 will be adopting to the Easychair Platform for the papers management, we conducted an Easychair Training session for our Easychair Technical person. The training was initiated by Dr. Noraini and delivered by Dr. Norah. Before this I was just a user or participant (presenter) in a conference that uses Easychair…. But now I need to also know and understand how to use EasuChair.
I am presently the Editor for ASEAN Journal of Engineering Education (AJEE) and also just became a Guest Editor for International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET). The task for Guest Editor is shared with Dr. Mohd Fadzil Daud from SME and CEE. Special Issue IJET is there for selected RCEE2021 participants to submit their high quality manuscript.
I am one of the committee member to develop this new Maahad Tahfiz (Mataf) Al-Fateh that will be built and Kampung Melayu Kukup Laut, Pontian area. today, I managed to join a meeting with the committee and conduct a brief site visit at the location where the Mataf will be built on. It’s interesting and amazing that I am in this team for such a noble quest. I am doing what I can to help make this happen. InsyaAllah.
As mentioned in my previous post, this is also one of the social service to the community that I am involved in. Hopefully it will be a very meaningful and significant contribution. Insya Allah.
Other highlighted tasks:
One of the rare and unusual activity I did today was delivering Zakat Cash to asnaf. After Friday prayer, Hj Samiin, En. Wagiman and me, we went from one house to another house at Pulai Bistari and Pulai Mesra vicinity to deliver the zakat assistance. It was my first time doing such thing but it was interesting one. Out of 20 envelops with cash amounting up to RM400, we managed to deliver to 12 recipients. Another 8 were either not at home, have moved to another address and other reasons.
Why am I mentioning this here. Well, it’s part of the community service task, as a an academia, as a member of the society and as a human 🙂
Other highlighted tasks:
It has been such a long time since we had a Panel Reaction Meeting. I really cannot recall when was the last time we had it. But, finally we had one today at 9am and it was interesting to discussed various issues that include the lack of staffs that we are facing.
Other highlighted task:
I delivered a 1.5 hours talk on Reflective Learning today through Webex as per organized by UTMLEad. I must be honest that the preparation for it took quite some time compared to just 1.5 hour of delivering it… But I am very satisfied with my sharing. Alhamdulillah.
Luckily my day today was not as packed as usual. I had a meeting with my plant design project team today in the morning and subsequently after that I was focused on preparation of the contents and slide for tomorrow’s talk. We have some experiences in conducting reflective learning via the reflection journal and meta reflection journal in our class all these while. Last year we had Taskade as an online tool for reflective purpose as well as for planning etc. Let’s check out my sharing tomorrow yea.
