2022 Day 76 Task – Small CEE Group Meeting

Posted on March 17, 2022 ·

Leading an organization, such as Centre for Engineering Education (CEE) could be tricky, challenging and overwhelming since a big chunk of our team is very busy academician (consisting of research fellow and associate fellow). All of them have their own special strength where they can contribute and I really appreciate them. Because of that, for CEE activities, I won’t be troubling them yet for certain activities that can be executed by our full time energetic and enthusiastic CEE staffs.

In the morning (10.30am) we had a small yet impactful discussion on what we should plan to do, plan to execute in this year. It covers the issue of SPC22, Webinars, Youtube, Discord, RCEE2021 and others. We will try to be as strategic and as systematic possible in terms of our program marketing.

Other tasks of the day:

  • Online meeting with Izyan and Hasmaliyana regarding Statik Paper for AJEE – 2.30pm
  • Signed and stamped Kelly’s certificate.
  • Signed and stamped TedXUTM society support letter.
  • Obtained and gave Hidayah all experimental consumption invoices for payment.

2022 Day 66 Task – Global Engineering Capability Review (GECR) Feedback Workshop

Posted on March 7, 2022 ·
RAE Global Engineering Capability Review (GECR) website

I was invited more than 1 month ago to participate in GECR workshop. Today, I had the opportunity to join this global forum and I must say that I am proud to be participating in it. Let me share a brief infor about what is GECR… and the program I attended (8.30pm – 10.00pm Malaysia Time Zone).

Engineering X ‘Engineering Skills Where They are Most Needed Programme’ is considering a follow up report to the GECR 2019. To produce a better GECR 2022 that is useful to Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (RAE) audience, they run a workshop to assess whether the GECR 2019 report contained the right kind of information that is useful for our audience. The outcome of the workshop will inform the design and scope of the GECR 2022 to ensure the Review is more useful to RAE target audience.

Hence, RAE invited me to participate in a 90-minute GECR 2019 feedback collection workshop that has been held virtually on 07 March 2022 from 12:30 – 14:00 (GMT).

As a workshop participant, I was asked to read the GECR 2019 report – the PDFs of the report, methodology and dataset here.

We were asked to at least read the following sections of the report before the meeting if we do not have time to read the entire report:

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Engineering Index 2019: 3 out of 99 countries that you are interested in.
  3. Country Case Studies: One of the countries that you are interested in.
  4. Recommendations

2022 Day 65 Task – Discussion With One of My Academic Student Advisor’ Parent

Posted on March 6, 2022 ·

One of the important task that many are not aware of a lecturer is his role as an Academic Advisor (Penasihat Akademik) to a group of student he is assigned for. I am not excluded. I am assigned 24 students in 2018 and now all of the students are going to graduate at the end of 2nd quarter 2022. In Syaa Allah.

However, there are always 1 or 2 students that require special care and attention. I have 2 students this semester that I have to really closely monitor. They are highly intelligent students but somehow something went wrong and we have to help, guide and monitor them accordingly so that they can graduate the chemical engineering course.

Following up to that, I squeezed my time from my hectic schedule to contact the parent of one of the student that requires help. We had a conversation and I smell and see some positive sign. I hope the student will enhance his performance soon and I really want to see him excel and graduate. I want to see the student have a bright and awesome future ahead.

Other tasks of the day:

  • Meeting with Dr. Helen
  • Updating Chem-Eng-Online site
  • Followed up on the rack for lab status permission
  • Checked Thermo paper
  • Lead discussion on IEM SESIG FB Page via whatsapp
  • PA Report for PNG below 0
  • IEM SESIG Proposed Paper Meeting – 10pm
  • Assigned reviewers for AJEE
