This research aims to develop a low cost six-pulse generator prototype that can be used as a teaching purpose for Power Electronics Laboratory subject offered in Universiti Tenaga Nasional. The proposed low cost device should be able to produce the same results and performs as good as the commercial six-pulse generators. The existing six-pulse generators used in the Power Electronics Laboratory costs...
The achievement of the program outcomes (POs) is very important for engineering institutions who have adopted Outcome Based Education (OBE). Generally, program outcomes assessment methods can be divided into direct and indirect methods. Direct methods are generally based on grades obtained from examination or project works while indirect methods are based on perception obtained from surveys, questionnaires...
An engineer can be an entrepreneur. The engineer has all the technical knowledge to build and design. The purpose of this study is to analyse the influence of Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence on Innovation. A total of 88 successful entrepreneurs from Malaysia participated in this study. The GENOS Emotional Intelligence questionnaire and Spiritual Intelligence (Integrated Spiritual...
The article describes an experiment in which elements related to generic professional competences, such as group work methodology, project planning, task delegation and communication, have been introduced in an existing course, tailored as a Problem Base Learning (PBL) course in Advanced Telecommunication at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
Students nowadays learn differently from their forefathers. Therefore, there is a need for the educators to identify the way the students learn. This research aims to study the major learning styles of students from different engineering programmes and their differences in University Tenaga Malaysia. This paper will also report on the analyses of types of learning styles of the students.
Engineering education is difficult in an international program with all courses in English language, for foreign students with no English as first language or official language in their countries, in a host country with a third language. In our research we want to know if the levels of inventiveness of those students are not significantly different than the rest of the students and not a factor for...
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...
“The Art of teaching is the art of Assisting Discovery”. This paper proposes a very interesting and informative method of teaching. It is currently followed in our institute known as “Creative Learning Methodology (CLM)” Conventional method is teacher driven. Students are passive listeners. CLM is a student centered approach in which every student is engaged for the entire hour. CLM consists of four...
Along with robotic technology development, researchers and educators have employed robots to support education. They state many benefits for using robotics in the classroom. The present study seeks to examine the teachers' perceptions of the effects of robotics on students' learning experiences and on their interests toward Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. The results...
Engineering Topics in Universities have expanded astronomically in recent years resulting in congested curricula and concomitant pressure on students who opt to enroll in the various disciplines, which are also expanding. It is not a surprise therefore that Engineering Students spend more study hours than their colleagues in pursuing, for example, programmes in the social sciences. Under such pressures,...
Program Learning Outcome (PLO) in the Outcome-based Education (OBE) approach has been an integral topic for discussions among academics in most higher education providers particularly in Malaysia. The basic principles of OBE which are clarity of focus, designing back, high expectations and expanded opportunities have also been elaborated in many education conferences. In Malaysia, the implementation...
The username/password combination is still the most widely used method albeit various user authentication techniques have been introduced. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the scheme and it could be summarized that despite it weaknesses, it is the most favourable scheme. Thus, to reduce the weakness, authenticating users with image or pictures (i.e. graphical password) is proposed...
Using video for learning is no longer extraordinary in the world of education. Many researchers have shown that visual learners enjoy the use of video. However, which video will best grab their attention? This research was conducted to investigate the best framework for learning using video among visual learners. In order to do so, three different videos embedded with Cognitive Load Theory were selected...
The Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000) has become an internationally recognized benchmark for attributes to be attained by engineering undergraduates upon completion of their studies in an engineering programme. In Malaysia, the EC2000 equivalent attributes are defined by Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) as the twelve Programme Outcomes (PO) stated in Engineering Accreditation Manual. Specific...
In this research, the authors examined the value of air temperature data of big cities as data-mining introduction teaching material for schoolchildren and young students. The data examined in this research was the air temperature data of all of the 47 prefectural capitals in Japan. The results of the research showed that we can clearly see statistical patterns in the data using diagrams and graphs...
This paper presents the application of virtual air temperature oven as an alternative way of carrying out the temperature control experiment in process control laboratory at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UiTM, Shah Alam. A virtual air temperature oven is developed so that students will have effective experiment time and achieve the objective of the experiment. The development of virtual air temperature...
The purpose of this study is to clarify the differences of educational objectives between national technical colleges and national institutes of technology. This was achieved by using the text mining method. We collected text data from the educational objectives of all technical colleges and all institutes of technology websites. Words that appeared most frequently in the text data were listed for...
