Roughly at 11.40pm this night, I managed to submit an abstract to ICoST2020 conference via EasyChair system. This work which was done by JL Lim, my PSM student who diligently work on the thermodynamic modelling. Hopefully this abstract will be accepted for presentation and subsequently accepted for publication in any of the scopus journal under the agreement with this conference.
Engineering Education Research Workshop Part 3
Posted on January 30, 2020 ·
I am attending a 3 day workshop of Engineering Education Research (Part 3). Earlier I have attended Part 1 and Part 2. The earlier Part 1 and Part 2 were very challenging and tough for me. Although I have several engineering education research under my name and my comrades, there are still a lot to learn. Luckily the one today which is about data collection and analysis seems to be ok for me. InsyaAllah. Hopefully I can grasp all the skills and knowledge to be great in engineering education research.
