Day 206 Task – Completing the review of Education for Chemical Engineer (ECE) Manuscript

Posted on July 24, 2020 ·

 

The paper that I reviewed today was the revised version of the manuscript that I have reviewed earlier. It was a very interesting manuscript about safety course that is being introduce to the bachelor of chemical engineering curriculum in one of the European country. The manuscript which was earlier quite OK has now became a very lengthy and valuable interesting great article. I am glad to be part of the reviewer who provided some of the inputs and comments to make the manuscript at its present state. Well, that’s part of our job, as a critical reviewer in the engineering education sector, particularly in the chemical engineering niche.

Day 199 Task – AJEE Management

Posted on July 17, 2020 ·

This is one task which I have to monitor and handle from time to time and it’s proven quite challenging. But it is OK. I’m up to the challenge which I have taken since the beginning of MCO Covid 19. If I am not mistaken it has been about 3 or 4 months since I took over handling this AJEE journal from Prof Fatin. Alhamdulillah we have managed to published Volume 4 Issue 1. Now I am working on to publish Volume 4 Issue 2. InsyaAllah, please pray for us to make AJEE a scopus indexed journal soon.

Day 169 Task – CEE FB Live Stream HOW TO GET ONLINE STUDENTS ACTIVELY ENGAGED

Posted on June 17, 2020 ·

Early in the morning, this is the one important live webminar that I joined and participated with. Amazing!!!

📚CEE UTM Webinar Series📚 🔎

HOW TO GET ONLINE STUDENTS ACTIVELY ENGAGED

🔎 Extensive research has shown that people learn best by doing things and reflecting on what they have done, not by watching and listening to someone else telling them what they are supposed to know. While a good lecture can motivate and instruct students, if lecturing is the only thing that happens in a class, much less learning takes place than would occur if more active teaching methods were mixed in.

Methods for getting students actively engaged in traditional face-to-face classes have been developed and shown to be effective in hundreds of studies. Getting students actively engaged in online classes poses unique challenges, however, and methods for doing it are in a much lower state of development. This webinar outlines several of them and offers suggestions for making them effective.

Learning Outcomes:

After participating in the webinar, you will be able to answer the following questions:

-What is online active student engagement?

-What forms might it take?

-Which of those forms are most likely to effectively promote students’ learning?

-What specific online engagement strategies have been found effective in synchronous and asynchronous online courses?

-What conditions should be in place in online instruction regardless of which specific engagement strategies are adopted?
