BKIM – ICoN Engagement Meeting

November 18th 2020

Discussed on several item related to ICoN’s UMP activities over the past 2 years which include Industry Academia Collaboration, CEO Faculty Programs and the recent U4s.

University – Industry linkages is a challenging topic, often due to the need and aspiration mismatch between the university and industry. As an academia, it is our ultimate aim to prepare graduates that are able to address the requirements and competencies as required by the industry. However, with the rapid advancement of technology, achieving a balance between laying a solid fundamental knowledge and ability to cope with the sophistication of technology has always been a hot debate.

One thing for sure, Malaysia is in need for pool of talent. Building up a k-economy or even a k-society foundation is a must and collaboration between university and industry is a way forward.

That being said, with the recent outbreak of Covid -19, everyone need to be creative and agile to grab opportunities that strike.

BEE 4433 Antenna Theory & Propagation

Week 5 – Revisit on antenna parameters, electrically small antenna, resonant antenna and antenna simulation.

It is a must for an antenna designer to be equipped with antenna modelling and simulation skills. From simulation results, the behavior of an antenna could be estimated hence giving a sense of confidence to pursue to the next stage of antenna design – fabrication and measurement.

UMP STEM Lab Online Class – Microsoft Excel Session 1

Nov 18th – 19th

🙂

This picture best described the tools we’re associated with in relation to numerical skills. The peak was during college years – of course. With all the programming tools – name it Matlab, Pascal, C++, C #, Python – unless you become a lecturer like I am now 🙂 , you’ll find out that Excel (spreadsheet) is one of the most frequent tools used in your daily life.

Motivated by this, UMP STEM Lab, for the first time ever, hosted an online course on Microsoft Office for Beginners and Intermediate. Among topics covered include on managing, modifying and printing workbooks for beginners. The intermediate segment touches on formulating the cells to execute functions, analyze and visualize data.
