IEEE Young Professionals (YP) Annual General Meeting on 20th January 2016

Assalamualaikum. Hello everyone :)

And happy new year 2016. Have you written your goals yet for 2016? My strategy for this year is to be more time-efficient and write more publications on HRI. Need to kick-off my research work in UTeM as well. Life after PhD for me will be full of sparkles, insyaAllah :)

Other than IEEE WIE and IEEE RAS, I am also a member of the IEEE Young Professionals Malaysia. Taken from the IEEE official website:



"IEEE Young Professionals is an international community of enthusiastic, dynamic, and innovative members and volunteers. IEEE is committed to helping young professionals evaluate their career goals, polish their professional image, and create the building blocks of a lifelong and diverse professional network."

Now, recently on 20th January 2016 the IEEE Young Professionals Malaysia Affinity Group held its 2016 AGM at FIST, MMU Melaka. The agenda was to report the activities in 2015, dissolution of the 2015 executive officers and election of the new 2016 officers.

Election time :)

All the best to the new ExComm of 2016!

This term always come to my attention and 'pops out' during the UiTM convocation ceremony. Yesterday I saw a post on the hooding ceremony (again) when my other half was browsing through IPSis UiTM's FB page.
