Day 323 Task – Jurying NALI2020

Work is hectic as usual, but due dates on certain task has forced me to prioritized certain tasks rather than other long due tasks. Today, I allocated the first half of my day to focus on evaluating some of the projects showcased by the educators from UTM and the rest of Malaysia.

I went through a special access to read through the documentations, extended abstract as well as view the youtube videos prepared by the participants. Honestly, it is very interesting to read the innovations and ideas showed by the participants. I’m impressed and happy to see the progress. This is what develops the advancement of knowledge and technology.

After completing this task, I am going to shift to another jurying task which is the PERTANDINGAN MATLAMAT PEMBANGUNAN MAMPAN ISKANDAR PUTERI 2020, which were organized collectively by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Johor (JPNJ)and Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA). I was shocked reading the email by the organizer that just reached my inbox just now because they say that the jurying starts from 17 (today) to 19 November 2020.

I hope I can do all these tasks. InsyaAllah

Under the Center for Engineering Education (CEE), I was asked to manage the submission and reviewing of AJEE manuscript. It’s a new task I am assigned to but I kind of like to perform this task.
