Better late than never… (with my Penasihat Akademik Students)

Posted on June 8, 2018 ·

Get together time with my PA Students (Anak-anak Penasihat Akademik). I have been their PA for 4 years since 2014. Fortunately yesterday at my small house, we managed to get together informally rather than the brief official meet up at my office to get my signatures. I wish all if you the very best for your future career and undertaking. To those if you who will nikah/register/get married, invite us ok 😉 …

As i mentioned yesterday, let’s maintain the WhatsApp group and stay in touch with me. If you have problems, issues, or need to discuss something, you can contact me even though you are no longer a UTM student.

To those of you who couldn’t make it to our small gathering yesterday, it’s ok. I know you couldn’t make it due to unavoidable circumstances. No worries. Life is full of surprises. We can be a good strategist, a good planner, a good manager, but if God has other plans for us, then we must accept it and “redha”. “Pasti ada hikmah di sebalik semua yang berlaku.”

The time has come… In just few days time you will be the real adult, a practicing chemical engineer and after some time build your own family. You will have an important job with bright future career ahead. Serve the nation sincerely, pride and dignity. Contribute and give back to society.

It’s been a real pleasure becoming your PA. I apologise for all my shortcomings and weaknesses as a PA.

Special thanks to my other half, AP Dr. Mazura Jusoh who have helped me in organising the get together yesterday and also advising me on how to be a good PA all these while 🙂.

All the best guys!

Officiating EngineFest 2018 Organized by IEM UTM Student Chapter

Posted on May 11, 2018 ·

It’s an honour to officiate our Junior / Student Institute Engineer Malaysia (IEM) Chapter program last Saturday (5th May 2018). The program is held every year, but from what we were informed, the programs and activities vary from year to year. This round, the program was held at Faculti Alam Bina (Architecture Faculty) in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Some of the contests were Water Rocket Challenge, building bridges from spaghetti string, submarine competition and many more. It’s amazingly interesting to see the efforts, joy, spirit, commitment as well as the creativity and innovation of the students (committee and participants). In my speech, I wish that this event can be continuously organized in future to encourage and entice our younger generation to embrace science, technology and engineering. InsyaAllah.

Implementing Coorporative Learning (CL) in Class

Posted on April 22, 2018 ·

Today, I implemented Cooperative Learning (CL) technique in my Master’s Safety Class. It was interesting and I think it can be implemented with some additional improvements on my side.

What is Cooperative Learning?

Cooperative learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject.

Following are few details on the CL implementation in my class:

Number of students = 12
Number of groups = 4
Number of students per group = 3
A mahjong paper is provided for each expert group to create the note.
A time was allocated for the students to research their own sub-topic. There were 3 sub-topics, which means 1 student will get 1 sub-topic in each group.
Subsequently, all expert members will meet up, discuss and create a note to later teach their friends.
This was performed in the gallery walk.
