Graduates from our Media technology programmes (BSc in Audio and Music Production, and MSc in Broadcast and Media Production) enter an extremely competitive employment market, driven by the challenge "what can you do". Thus a competency-orientated syllabus was designed providing a breadth of knowledge and experience so students had wider employment prospects through multi-skilling. It was...
This paper presents the study of a pair of primal-dual fuzzy linear programming and establishes duality results. It is based on parabolic concave membership functions. Choice of parabolic concave membership functions makes it unique and leads to the nonlinear programming. Duality results have been established using the aspiration level approach. A numerical example is also taken to demonstrate the...
The tourism service quality plays an important role in determining the competitive dominance of a tourism destination. Correct evaluation of the tourism service quality of a destination could help its tourism administrators make scientific decision in establishing scientific and reasonable service systems, and then promotes the sustainable development of the area.

Engineering graduates are important human resource for developing countries like Malaysia. While industries had acknowledged that most of the engineering graduates are very much competent technically, they also highlighted the lack of people/soft skills in these graduates. With the introduction of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, local institutions of higher learning are working towards addressing...
Due to the rise of MOOC-like courses available from third-party providers, the services universities offer students have the potential to become unbundled. Yet the possible impacts of these changes are not well understood. Few university stakeholders can articulate the actual value students receive from a university education, aside from instruction in their chosen field. How universities are doing...
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...
India is purging towards becoming a developed nation by delving in technological advancement. To achieve this vision, having very high student potential, proper utilization of human resource is critical. The students' perception of education (learning process) is as vital as the teachers' ability to teach. A survey of 575 students is conducted to successfully reveal the students' perspective of the...
Hebei is the largest fruit production province in northern China, even in the whole country, the output is among the best of candidates. But the export scale is far behind the production scale, compare with Shandong province and other major exporting areas in the word, great gap still exists between Hebei and them. According to the latest data got from National Bureau of Statistics and Hebei Import...
The technical impact on future engineering education has two main reasons. One factor is the growth rate of technical knowledge in depth and width and the second reason is the wide range of options of knowledge transfer using computer techniques. Besides, there are also many other reasons, e.g. the efficiency of knowledge transfer, greater consideration of individual learning and teaching styles,...
Engineering education has become a main attraction, contributing to the global industry revolution and in particular to Indian economy. The exponential growth in technical education has, however, not translated into any significant growth in the number of quality graduates acceptable to industry, due to insufficient availability of qualified faculty, teaching methodology, evaluation techniques and...
This workshop focuses on teaching usability at the undergraduate and master's level, and emphasizes the potential of such courses to bring the classroom and workplace together, aid student learning, and allow businesses to influence the training of the next generation of professional communicators.
This paper explored Taiwanese college graduates' perception differences of the importance degree of industrially required work competencies. The researchers randomly surveyed 500 college graduates participating in the Quality Manpower Cultivation Projects executed by Taiwan Ministry of Education—An one-year practical training served as a way out of immediate employment for new graduates of bachelor...
Stakeholder consultation during course accreditation is now a requirement of new Australian government regulations as well as the Australian ICT professional society accreditation. Despite these requirements there remains some differences between universities and industry regarding the purpose, nature and extent of industry involvement in the curriculum. Surveys of industry and university leaders...
Over the past 30 years as a whole, China has become one of fastest growing countries in the field of economy at the same period with a 9% GDP growing rate, offering demand space for engineering technical talents with high international qualities. However, the engineering technical talents with high qualities cannot be supplied. In the background of “professional engineers plan” of the Ministry of...
The assessment of student outcomes can be made easier if the proper plan and processes are put in place before starting data collection. The key to simplifying the process is to collect targeted data after developing performance indicators and mapping them to appropriate courses. The authors discuss the evolution of the Coast Guard Academy's Civil Engineering assessment process highlighting how the...

With the development of the transport sector maritime industry, in data integration, especially the import and export of data, lack an efficient and quick method. In this paper, we make a research on the XML technical features and design a new data integration structure, including modules for data import and export. Finally we use the new integration structure into practice. On the basis of the XML...
An engineering career in India is one of the preferred choices for students at the 10+2 level. The recent high demand for engineering has resulted in the mushrooming of several hundreds of private engineering colleges in the country. Despite this, the industry continues to complain of the absence of trained and quality engineers. As both technology and industry change with time, the education system...
ECQA (European Certification and Qualification Association) is the result of a series of EU funded projects from 2005–2012. This included European projects such as EQN (European Quality Network, 2005–2007), EU Certificates Campus (2008–2009) and DEUCERT (Dissemination of EU Certification), the ECQA nowadays acts as an organization that is independent from funding. The members of ECQA are widely spread...
