FKP Day at UTeM, 9th December 2015

Assalamualaikum

Hello everyone. Just noticed that I never wrote any posts in this blog about my faculty here in UTeM. Thus, here is a post on an event organized at Fakulti Kejuruteraan Pembuatan (FKP), UTeM. 

The Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering was officially established on the 22nd of June 2001 with approval of the Ministry of Education. The first course offered was Bachelor of Manufacturing Engineering (Manufacturing Process) in November 2001. I have been serving my duties here as a lecturer (previously as a tutor) since October 2004. I cannot believe that 11 years had gone by :)
On 9th December 2015, the students' committee at my faculty: the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) had organized an open-day at the main campus in Durian Tunggal. Take a look at the snippets and some pictures of the program which began at 8:30 am and lasted until 5:30 pm.
Program line-up for FKP Day 2015

Build-a-rocket competition for kids
Kids trying their rocket-making skills, first time
Rocket launch time to see whose rocket will fly the farthest
For the 2015/2016 session, I have 3 undergraduate students to supervise. This is my student Ume Nur Ashikien with her final year project poster. Her project is on human-robot interaction (HRI)
Meet Faris who will be hacking a Keepon robot for HRI purpose
And this is Ammar and his project is on the performance analysis of an industrial robot
FKP Day was a success, I could see many happy faces throughout the event. There were carboot sale, band performances, food kiosks and loads more. Next semester in 2016 there will be another open day held in FKP to celebrate Mechatronics Day and Product Design & Development Project presentation. Hope to take more pictures then to post here in my blog.

Till the next post, take care

What is a hooding ceremony?

I have always been intrigued by this event called 'the hooding ceremony' since I began my student life in UiTM about 3 years ago. 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. IPSis wrote that 52 PhD graduates had successfully completed their studies in UiTM and will receive their scroll in the 81st convocation ceremony.

At that time, I shared my thoughts on how meaningful this ceremony was, not only for the students but also for the supervisors who had walked alongside them throughout their doctoral journey. The Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition ceremony for doctoral degree students. During the ceremony, the supervisors and their students are invited on stage for a photo session, symbolising the successful completion of the PhD journey. It is a simple yet deeply meaningful moment, as it reflects years of hard work, perseverance, sacrifice and academic growth. This year, I felt truly honoured and proud to be part of the hooding ceremony for my PhD student, Dr. Muhammad Aliff Rosly . Although I served as his co-supervisor, the joy I felt was no less meaningful. Seeing a student complete a PhD is always a special experience. It reminds us that supervision is not on...
