2022 Day 66 Task – Global Engineering Capability Review (GECR) Feedback Workshop

RAE Global Engineering Capability Review (GECR) website

I was invited more than 1 month ago to participate in GECR workshop. Today, I had the opportunity to join this global forum and I must say that I am proud to be participating in it. Let me share a brief infor about what is GECR… and the program I attended (8.30pm – 10.00pm Malaysia Time Zone).

Engineering X ‘Engineering Skills Where They are Most Needed Programme’ is considering a follow up report to the GECR 2019. To produce a better GECR 2022 that is useful to Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (RAE) audience, they run a workshop to assess whether the GECR 2019 report contained the right kind of information that is useful for our audience. The outcome of the workshop will inform the design and scope of the GECR 2022 to ensure the Review is more useful to RAE target audience.

Hence, RAE invited me to participate in a 90-minute GECR 2019 feedback collection workshop that has been held virtually on 07 March 2022 from 12:30 – 14:00 (GMT).

As a workshop participant, I was asked to read the GECR 2019 report – the PDFs of the report, methodology and dataset here.

We were asked to at least read the following sections of the report before the meeting if we do not have time to read the entire report:

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Engineering Index 2019: 3 out of 99 countries that you are interested in.
  3. Country Case Studies: One of the countries that you are interested in.
  4. Recommendations

2022 Day 53 Task – Submission of RAE SCEE Project Proposal

Alhamdulillah, after hard work of designing, writing and filling up the online Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) Safety Champion in Engineering Education (SCEE) Project Proposal, I finally submitted it at about 6.35pm Malaysia time zone, today. It was about 5 hours plus the deadline of 4pm GMT. The preparation of this proposal was amazingly intense for me and I have been thinking about the preparation of this proposal even while sleeping.

Now I am just super glad that the proposal was successfully submitted and at the same time RAE acknowledged the my submission.

2021 Day 243 Task – RAE OBE and SCL for Administrators Workshop

Synopsis

This workshop is for administrators who manage academic quality programs at the faculty and university levels and have undergone the OBE and SCL workshops.  The aim of this workshop is to provide a broad view of OBE and SCL, from the academic management angle so that participants can understand the need for meaningful implementation to develop quality graduates.  The philosophy OBE will be articulated as the basis for establishing academic quality, which leads to actions that must be strategized by academic administrators.  Boyer’s four types of Scholarship in higher education will be discussed as the basis in striving for excellence in academia, focusing on scholarship of teaching and learning.  Finally, participants will be guided to identify strategies for developing and supporting champions for initiating and sustaining academic change.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • explain the philosophy of OBE and the ABET’s standard requirements to implement OBE
  • discuss the role of administrators in implementing OBE based on the standard requirement
  • plan strategies to improve and maintain academic quality
  • identify meaningful actions to initiate and support academic change to transform engineering education
  • discuss effective actions to enhance the quality of teaching and learning
  • list strategies to support and develop champions among faculty members in engineering education

2021 Day 138 Task – SCEE RAE Hub Meeting #1 in Week #3

The SCEE RAE Weekly Appointment will be held tomorrow and from Week #2 instructions, we were asked to have a meeting to discuss about one of the activity which was the Moon Landing Scenario. It was quite interesting to have 5 out of 6 of us discussing about the Moon Landing scenario.

Following is the instruction of the assignment:

Scenario

You are a member of a space crew scheduled to rendezvous with a mother ship on the lighted surface of the moon. However, due to mechanical difficulties, your own ship was forced to land at a spot 200 miles from the rendezvous point.

During re-entry and landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged and, since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most critical items available must be chosen for the 200-mile trip.

15 items are listed as being intact and undamaged after landing. Your task is to rank them in terms of their importance for your crew, to allow them to reach the rendezvous point. Place the number 1 by the most important item, the number 2 by the second most important, and so on through to number 15 for the least important.

Instructions

1. Look over the list of salvaged items below and think about their importance to your crew.

  • Box of matches
  • Food concentrate
  • 50 feet of nylon rope
  • Parachute silk
  • Two .45 calibre pistols
  • One case of dehydrated milk
  • Two 100-pound tanks of oxygen
  • Stellar map
  • Self-inflating life raft
  • Magnetic compass
  • Five gallons of water
  • Signal flares
  • First aid kit containing injection needles
  • Solar-powered FM receiver
  • Portable heating unit

2. Download the ‘Moon Landing Ranking Sheet’ attached below. Write down your rankings in the first column – it is important that you write your answers down.

Please do not discuss them with anyone else on the course. This activity will then be built upon during this week’s Live Workshop.

Other Highlighted Tasks / Info of the Day:

  • Coordinating RCEE2020 publication plan to Scopus Proceeding.
  • Joined my Wife’s Class from 11am to 1pm where student presented about Oil and Gas Upstream and Mid Stream.

Engineering capability review raises safety concerns

The Article which was categorized under Risk and Safety section was written by Adam Duckett and published in The New Chemical Engineer Online portal on the 16th of March 2020.

FATALITIES and accidents at work are likely to increase, and a better understanding of engineering capacity and capability is needed for engineering to intervene, says a report from the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Global Engineering Capability Review, the first report from a new £15m (US$18.7m) partnership between RAEng and Lloyds Register, reviews the ability of 99 countries to conduct key engineering activities in a safe and innovative way. It notes that around 1,000 people die every day due to an accident at work, and that data from the International Labour Organization shows that fatal accidents are on the rise in many developing economies as more money is pumped into new infrastructure projects and upgrades.
