Day 198 Task – A Session with my IEM Mentee

Posted on July 16, 2020 ·

Eversince I became a Professional Engineer around 2011, I had a lot of request for a formal IEM mentorship to be a Professional Engineer, a similar one which i had 13 years ago. My IEM Mentor was Ir. Hj. Tunai Shamsidi who worked at Minconsult Sdn Bhd, Petaling Jaya. That time there only 2 Professional Engineer specilizing in Chemical Engineering in Johor Bahru. Unfortunately both of them could not take me as a mentee and as a result I have to search one which is out of JB.

Today I had my first session as an official mentor to a female chemical engineer graduated from UTM around 2013. She seems a very driven and motivated person. I never known or seen her yet until our first Whatsapp video meeting. I briefed her what to do, what to expect, a few strategies and so on. Looking at her passsed experiences, I have no doubt that she can be a professional engineer by the end of 2022, insyaAllah.

Day 196 Task – Grading MKKK Safety in Chemical Plant MKKK1653

Posted on July 14, 2020 ·

After completing my grading and marking for Plant Design Project (PDP) Course and also Graduate Student Attribute (GSA) Course, it’s time to focus on marking my master course MKKK1653 Master in Chemical Plant Safety. At this point of time of writing this post, I have not completed, but I can say I have made significant progress in the markings. I am left with less than half of the marking. If I can complete all of this by tomorrow, I will be very happy guy.

At the same time, I also watched few webminars which were scheduled today. The one that I really follow was this one:

Day 195 Task – Teaching my Undergraduate Research Student How Thermodynamic Modelling Analysis Using HSC Chemistry

Posted on July 13, 2020 ·

In view of Covid 19, the undergraduate research students were asked to do non-experimental based research. Since I have asked them to perform thermodynamic analysis study using a software, I took the time to record a video of me showing how to use the software. Then I share the video to them and later at night, we had a Webex meeting for them to ask questions in case they have any problems. The video have actually helped them to learn faster than i thought.

Day 194 Task – Finalizing PDP and GSA Marks

Posted on July 12, 2020 ·

I was very focus to complete the marking of the Plant Design Project (PDP) and Graduate Student Attribute (GSA) course marks. One full day was required just to do that. Finally I managed to filled in GSA marks in AIMS, but have not release the marks yet for students to view. In the other hand, I am planning to audit my own PDP marks once again since there are tonnes of marks and assessment for PDP. It’s like that due the fact that it is a Capstone Course with 14 CLO, the most a course in Chemical Engineering could ever have.
