Engineers often need to make sense of mathematical structures in differential equations to deal with real life problems. However, students showed difficulties in grasping them. This study presents the teaching of mathematical structures in differential equations using a computer algebra system. The computer algebra systems played the role as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching mathematical structures...
People nowadays freely give out their personal information on social media without knowing the implications of such actions. The proliferation of social networking sites creates the illusion of fun that made people to overlook the downsides of using these media. This paper examines the privacy awareness and general concerns of undergraduate students who form the bulk of users of these media. An evaluation...
During the transition to professional universities, it is normal that students bring preconceptions with them from many domains of knowledge as well as misconceptions and numerous other idiosyncrasies based on their previous learning experiences. Knowing how our students think will help us to understand their mathematical thinking skills, to make sense of their errors and to improve our instruction...
Mathematics is considered a fundamental component of engineering education, thus it is important to determine the mathematical competencies (MCs) attained by engineering undergraduate students so that they will be able to use these competencies to support their professional engineering work. The MCs were identified based on Niss's work, namely, thinking mathematically, reasoning, problem posing and...
Creative problem solving (CPS) is a multi-step method for solving problems in various disciplines that can support students in the learning of mathematics. Although CPS is cooperative in nature and is most productive when done as a team, CPS cannot utilize the full potential of teamwork to connect and share ideas among groups in the process of solving problems. Cooperative learning (CL) has additional...
Knowledge management is an initiative which could determines the organization's competitive edge. This initiative could be stipulated on internally generated information known as (records). The information embedded in records, when processed, will yield knowledge that could help organization to make timely and well-informed decision making. In light of this, students' records are a form of strategic...
This paper presents a characterization of watermelon leaf diseases through the RGB color. The aim of this study is to perform identification of selected critical watermelon leaf diseases in Malaysia namely the Downy Mildew and Anthracnose diseases. Several samples of infected leaves images were put under digital RGB color extraction where the images were captured under standardized and controlled...
This paper discusses on a research that was purported to investigate the relationships of five dimensions of conflict handling style: dominating (instrumentality traits); compromising, obliging, avoiding (expressiveness traits); and integrating (androgyny traits) with employers' gender. Data (N= 57) for this study were collected on the basis of a questionnaire survey of various small firms/businesses...
Mathematics is one of the most difficult courses to study for engineering students. In addition, effective communication, teamwork, and problem solving are important skills for graduate engineers in their professional work. This study proposes Creative Problem Solving as a framework to improve the way engineering students learn mathematics and support their critical problem solving, communication,...
With high speed broadband connection and new technological breakthrough, there are increasing trend of information technology abuse amongst users. Users seem to neglect laws and guidelines with their intentionally or not committing to the unethical actions. This article presents the understanding of Actions with regards to social and ethical use of Information Technology (IT) within the area of Human...
The awareness of the importance of knowledge sharing to the success and competency of organisation is paramount. Knowledge sharing is unavoidable as it is evident that all organisations require some level of cooperation and contribution of multiple knowledge sources to produce a product or service. The goal of knowledge sharing is simply to increase productivity, innovation and creative output in...
Internet has revolutionized knowledge acquisition. Scientific knowledge in books, journals, and conference proceedings are available in digital libraries online. Current digital library end users are not adequately equipped with the technological know-how on information retrieval. While these systems normally retrieve documents based on keywords, users normally have a more abstract perception what...
Literature in knowledge management reveals that there are a number of knowledge sharing (KS) models. A range of models exists as a result of differed view on the subject which is broad and subjective. Some of the models address the antecedents or factors influencing KS whilst the others address the relationship between KS and performance. The benefit of KS cannot be materialized if it does not contribute...
