Day 265 Task – RCEE2020 Preparation Meeting

Posted on September 20, 2020 ·

Since RCEE2020 is around the corner, we started to feel the tense and adrenaline. It is time to check up again all the checklist, the flow, the technical preparation etc. Today is also the due date for the submission of consortium grant, hence the Director was busy preparing for the mega grant. I was asked to chair the meeting and ensure everything will be smooth and fine. It was initially challenging because I am not the best person who knew the overall of the conference, but someone must handle that and I was assigned. Alhamdulillah the cooperation from all committees were brilliant and amazing.

Lets hope and pray that we’ll successfully run RCEE2020 superbly.

Day 256 Task – UTM CEE Webminar Again with Prof Johannes Stroble

Posted on September 11, 2020 ·

It’s an official off day for me, but early in the morning I have two major tasks to be accomplished. One is an online meeting on a Consortium Project which started at 8am. The meeting involved representatives from 3 universities: UTM, UPM and UTHM.

Subsequently after that, we had a live webminar session where I was once again the MC for the session.

CEE UTM WEBINAR SERIES DEMYSTIFYING PHILOSOPHY FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATORS

At first glance, Engineering and Philosophy seem to be on opposite sides of a spectrum of scholarship: Engineering as a discipline concerned with making decisions, solving problems, and designing. Philosophy as a discipline concerns with studying the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. So what can philosophy bring to research and practice in engineering education? This webinar will provide an overview of different sub-disciplines of philosophy and show examples about their respective value and relevance in the deeper pursuit of engineering education research and the practice of educating engineers.

Prof. Dr. Johannes Strobel is a Full Professor at the University of Missouri where he leads a maker initiative and conducts research in engineering and STEM education. His research focuses on engineering and STEM learning through hands-on activities; defiance, empathy, care, and worldviews in engineering. Dr. Strobel has been PI, Co-PI, and key personnel of grants totaling $36,000,000 in the USA and Canada. He co-authored 160 papers and co-edited five books. Dr. Strobel is the lead designer of Hands-on Standards STEM in Action™️—a set of STEM learning modules for PreK-5th grades – in use in 35 countries and selected as a finalist for two international awards. Dr. Strobel received the 2018 Science Educator of the Year Award from the Academy of Science – St. Louis and the 2018 STEM Excellence Award from theInternational Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Dr. Strobel founded the Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER).
