First task of the day is the workshop of Control of Industrial Major Hazard (CIMAH) Modular Package, which was held for one day in IFOG Meeting Room, N29A. Participants of the workshop include Hj Arshad, En. Adha, Dr. Kamarizan and myself. It is our main goal to develop a quality CIMAH Module for the nation. InsyaAllah.
It is indeed a historical moment. After attending the briefing for Final Examination Vetting (BENGKEL PENYEDIAAN & PENILAIAN SOALAN PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR (UG & PG) SESI 2018/2019 SEMESTER II) in the School of Chemical & Energy Engineering, I rushed to Center of Engineering Education (CEE) at 10.30am. I used to come here (CEE) for meeting but within the capacity as Introduction to Engineering (ITE) lecturer. But now, I am here as a new CEE Research Fellow.
One term that I learned from this meeting is “Epistemology”.
What is epistemology?
It is the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, and the distinction between justified belief and opinion.
The first official task today is to be at this briefing and workshop – BENGKEL PENYEDIAAN & PENILAIAN SOALAN PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR (UG & PG) SESI 2018/2019 SEMESTER II, which is held at Bilik Mesyuarat Utama, N01a, 9am – 10.30am.
I have 2 roles here which are as a person who prepares one of the final exam paper (MKKK1653) as well as an evaluator for another Master Energy paper.
Alhamdulillah, I managed to submit and improve the final exam paper. But I can’t afford to review the Master Energy paper, mainly because I need to rush to CEE for Meeting at 10.30am.
Today I became one of the jury for the 3 Minute Thesis Competition which was held in conjunction of the UTM Research Week Carnival 2019. Alongside with me was Prof. Madya. Dr. Mazura Jusoh and Prof. Madya Dr. Mohd Kamaruddin Abd Hamid. During my session, there were 16 postgraduate students contesting. At the end we chose 3 of the best to proceed to the next round.
Today, I entered the lab, not to monitor or to check but to do some tiny bit of experimental work. It has been such a long time since my PhD that I didn’t do any lab work. Well, it is mainly because I am venturing into a new research area. I was there at the lab with my Master and Undergraduate research students.
Site Technical Visit & Discussion at IIFCO Pasir Gudang. Amazing plant, great continuous learning process for us.
IFFCO (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD is an integrated oleo-chemical complex in Malaysia, which feeds downstream state-of-the-art soap noodle and finishing plants. Their soap products and soap noodle intermediates cater to local needs as well as requirements of markets in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. IIFCO joint venture with Dalquim, Brazil produces rumen protected fats for animal feed nutrition.
Didn’t expect to meet my ex-student, Rashiqah, who is now a process engineer in IIFCO. Will be back here soon.
Today, we conducted Active Learning (AL) for our Master MKKK1653 – Chemical Plant and Safety. There were 10 students altogether and they were divided to 3 groups. We assigned 3 expert teams and they meet up in the expert team meeting (Jigsaw application).
The topic that was used for this AL application is Introduction to Relief.
Alhamdulillah selesai satu task penting amanah Universiti petang tadi. Sangkaanku sekejap saja menilai alat yang bernilai lebih RM1 juta ini… Tapi rupanya lama hingga ke 5.30pm 🙂
Tak apalah, demi amanah negara kuturutkan jua 😉
I am very happy that I reached Level 5 for Blended Learning for my Master MKKK1653 in just Week 5 in this semester.
