2022 Day 46 Task – Online Discussion on New Thermodynamic Work

Posted on February 15, 2022 ·

I am glad and happy that I am working with a nice Malaysian person who is not my student and not attached to a university yet. The student is supposed to be my PhD students this coming March semester, however, because she received an offer from a university from outside Malaysia, hence she has to turned down being my PhD student. I understand her a lot in the sense that she wanted to have international / foreign exposure after having her bachelor and masters degree in Malaysia. It’s good to travel and learn new things abroad.

I have been discussing and guiding her on this new thermodynamic topics since end of January. This afternoon, after lunch, we had a Webex meeting because she was not yet well verse with the thermodynamic software. Hence, I suggested to have the meeting so I can explain more on the software and how to use it. It went well and I am hoping that we can come out with a very good publication soon.

Other tasks of the day:

  • Small CEE Admin meeting – 10am
  • Kursus Asas Haji – 7.45pm

2022 Day 44 Task – Respond to Student’s Test Queries & Result

Posted on February 13, 2022 ·

Introduction to Engineering Test result was released to the students of my class last week. Some of the students inquired about the answers, marks, and others. I did not have the time to entertain them last week due to managing some other tasks. Today I make it a point to respond to all those who have asked me about their test result.

The delay for doing this was also partly because of the online class. At least if we are face to face, then we can immediately response to them. Even though this maybe a small task, it is still super important for me as an educator. As a lecturer, our focus on teaching and helping our students.

Other tasks of the day:

  • Updating student’s marks for ITE
  • SCEE RAE Project proposal still on-going

2022 Day 38 Task – FRGS Progress Report Submission

Posted on February 7, 2022 ·

I lost track of previous FRGS progress report reminder but finally an email that arrived in my inbox today quickly provided me the instant alert I needed. The alert clearly mentioned you have ONE more day left.

Without hesitating, I immediately login to my Mygrant Portal to do the report. I struggled at first because I am not used to the system and it is not that we do this report on a monthly basis. Luckily I managed to be assured on what to do after calling Asmadi for help, just to double confirm which part to fill up. Alhamdulillah I have just submitted the report and asked my ARO, Amelia at RMC to check if the progress report passed through.

2022 Day 36 Task – Writing Impact Study for ASEE Paper

Posted on February 5, 2022 ·

It was actually unexpected for me to be part of the team lead by Prof Khairiyah to write a paper to be submitted to a prestigious conference in Engineering Education that is American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) conference. The quality of papers presented in ASEE is of the highest quality and it is truly engineering education at its core level.

The title of the Abstract prepared to be submitted by our team is “The 21st Century Learning and Teaching: Malaysian Perception and Direction”. The final topic maybe the same or if there is any changes, it may not be that much.

My part is to write on the Impact and Significance of Study. It’s challenging but I am up to it. I know I must write it carefully and meaningfully as the audience for this conference is massive and those who are in the engineering education research line.

And yes, this is a wonderful Saturday, where suddenly at 8am, my UNIFI Broadband went down and we are not connected. Had to call Unifi Technician to rectify our internet.

Other tasks of today:

  • SCEE proposal
  • Update CV
