I am already a Review Editor in Bioenergy and Biofuels, under Frontier Publication. It’s normal that I received manuscript in the niche of biofuel, bioenergy, catalysis and others to be reviewed. However, yesterday I received a totally different manuscript which is related to Education Psychology. I am not sure yet how they found me and appointed me to be the reviewer because I am still very new in the Engineering Education arena. Somehow, maybe some of the engineering education papers that I co-authored were detected by the Editor in Front. Psychol. – Educational Psychology; and also they found out that I have reviewed other Engineering Education publications.

Nevertheless, I accepted the invitation and made the review. Definitely a new experience for me. Thanks Editor.

Before receiving this invite from the Editor, I never have heard about The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering (CJCE), which is part of Wiley Publication.

Here’s some information about The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering (IF: 2.007), published by Wiley on behalf of The Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering, is the forum for publication of high quality original research articles, new theoretical interpretation or experimental findings and critical reviews in the science or industrial practice of chemical and biochemical processes.

Thanks a lot for providing me the opportunity to read an interesting research work.

I spent quite some time to update SEEM Website and MyHE FB Page. I am the Head of Visibility and Networking Committee in SEEM and a committee in charge of Facebook Page for the My Higher Education Cluster under Akademi Professor Malaysia.

The above tasks are not my direct tasks as academician, but certainly something that I can contribute to the society and community. Alhamdulillah, I was given the opportunity to contribute.

I became one of the examiners/evaluators for this Final Report MKKL Research Project today on an off-day Saturday. The session took place at 11am and ended at 2.45pm. But off course, the day started earlier because we have to read the thesis prepared by the students. The topics of the MKKL Master project are as shown below:

INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF HYDROGEN FLOW ON ACETYLENE HYDROGENATION PROCESS USING ASPEN HYSYS by ANAS ZHAFRI BIN MAT RAFFEI

and

Encapsulation of andrographolide loaded nanostructured lipid carrier using ultrasonication, by Logavenota A/P Pothan

Attended the meeting with UTM’s new appointed Deputy Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation.

Other highlighted tasks of the day.

• SCEE Hub Meeting – 7.30am-8.30am
• PSM Evaluation – 8.30am – 1pm
