Disediakan oleh: Ku Siti Syahidah Ku Mohd Noh, Nooradzianie Muhammad Zin & Najwa Nasuha Mahzan

Pada 25 Julai 2019 bertempat di Dewan Kuliah Anggerik, UiTM Kampus Dungun telah berlangsung sesi perkongsian mengenai “Mengapa Perlu Berfikir?” dan “Asas Berfikir Kreatif”. Seramai tiga orang Fasilitator dan 90 orang pelajar baru terlibat bagi slot ini.

Modul ini diperkenalkan bagi menghasilkan pemikiran yang kreatif dan inovatif dalam kalangan pelajar. Selain itu, melatih pelajar untuk berfikir secara kritis sesuai dengan pendekatan universiti bagi menjadikan graduan diploma UiTM ini terus bersedia untuk memasuki dunia pekerjaan dan bukan hanya menjadi ‘feeder’ kepada program ijazah untuk universiti semata-mata.

Di dalam sesi perkongsian ini, beberapa aktiviti telah diadakan seperti Jom Berfikir, Kahoot! dan Si Hitam & Si Putih. Namun, pelajar telah diberi tugasan yang lebih mencabar untuk disempurnakan iaitu samada mencipta lirik lagu, logo, poster atau video pendek. Objektif tugasan adalah untuk memupuk semangat bekerja dalam kumpulan serta menggalakkan pelajar untuk meneroka daya imaginasi, kreativiti dan seterusnya meluahkan idea-idea mereka. Setiap tugasan pelajar akan dinilai oleh Fasilitator untuk melihat sejauh mana keberkesanan Modul Celik Fikir ini dilaksanakan.

2)     Set the switch to 10X on the  probe and connect the probe to channel 1 on the oscilloscope. To do this, align the slot in probe connector with the key on the CH 1 BNC, push to connect and twist to right to lock the probe in place.  Attach the probe tip and reference lead to the PROBE COMP connectors.

Push the Autoset button. Within a few seconds, you should see a square wave in the display (approximately 5V at 1 kHz peak-to peak). Push the CH 1 MENU button twice to turn off channel 1, push the CH 2 MENU button to turn on channel 2, repeat steps 2 and 3.

The National Energy Policies and Development Plan were created in 1979 by the Malaysian Government. In 2001, government officially announced that Renewable energy (RE) as a fifth fuel in energy supply mix. Thus followed by National Green Technology Policy in 2009 that Green Technology as the driver to accelerate the national economy and promote sustainable development.

As the renewable energy industry is rapidly growing with incentives from the government, so Kumpulan Melaka Berhad (KMB) has emerge as main player in solar energy project in Malaysia.  5 MWp Solar Farm with the total cost investment of RM46 Million is located at Alor Gajah, Malacca Malaysia.

A group of EE112 students from semester 5 who’s taken EPO358 subject had an opportunity to visit KMB 5 MWP Solar Farm. The main objective of this trip is to give an exposure to the real situation of solar farm and gain some practical knowledge from the qualified engineer. 

This project was commissioned and started to export the energy generated to TNB at:

o   Phase 1 (1.30 MWp)

-        Initial operation date (IOD) :11 April 2013

-        Feed-In-Tariff commencement date (FITCD) : 20 April 2013

o   Phase 2 (1.22 MWp)

-        Initial operation date (IOD) :16 Mei 2013

-        Feed-In-Tariff commencement date (FITCD) : 24 Mei 2013

o   Phase 3 (2.48 MWp)

-        Initial operation date (IOD) :2 August 2013

-        Feed-In-Tariff commencement date (FITCD) : 9 August 2013

CLINIC DAY 2 FOR LINEAR (ESE241)

Written by: Najwa Nasuha Mahzan, Suziyani Rohafauzi

As scheduled and continued from 1^st series of Clinic Day for Linear subject (ESE241), Clinic Day 2 Linear subject was held on 17^th May 2019 at Dewan Jasmin, UiTM Terengganu Branch, Dungun Campus. For this time as well, students in part 4 were obligated to attend the program. Based on Test 1 performance, almost 75% students were able to get pass mark. Hence, for this series, mentor-mentee concept was introduced where mentor was chosen amongst outstanding students. 

This program was facilitated by two lecturers who were Miss Suziyani Rohafauzi and Madam Najwa Nasuha Mahzan. They were assigned as facilitators who helped the students when mentor could not answer questions asked by the mentees. The main purpose of this Clinic Day 2 is to prepare the students for their coming Test 2. In the Test 2, Chapter 3 & Chapter 4 will be covered. Similar like previous clinic day, a module had been set to the students to answer during the clinic day session. In the end of the program, students were asked to submit the answer sheets to the facilitators.

By having this program, hopefully students could answer well in their Test 2 as well as in their final examination. Although in the last two chapters (Chapter 3 & Chapter 4) have a lot of mathematical work to do, all the tips to understand and solve the questions properly had been taught by the facilitators in the session.

On 29^th March 2019, Clinic Day 1 for Linear subject (ESE241) was held at Dewan Jasmin, UiTM Terengganu Branch, Dungun Campus. All students in part 4 for both courses (EE111 & EE112) attended the clinic day. The program was made compulsory to the students by referring to the previous semesters, Linear subject has been one of the hardest subject for students to attain pass during their final examination. Attendance recorded was surprisingly good where 80% of the students joined.

This program was led by Miss Suziyani Rohafauzi and assisted by two lecturers who were Madam Najwa Nasuha Mahzan and Madam Nik Nur Shaadah Dzulkefli. The main purpose of the program is to prepare the students for their Test 1. Lecturers who were assigned as facilitators in the program were quickly briefed Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 (covered in Test 1) to the students. All tips and tricks for each sub-topic in both chapters were explained to the students as well. Furthermore, right techniques to answer questions in the test were discussed in the program.

Students were provided related module which involved both chapters. The module is basically a list of revised questions from past final examinations. Students were asked to answer and finish all the questions during the program session with the help from facilitators. At the end of the program, all students were required to submit the answer sheets to the facilitators.

The program would be continued to the next series which was scheduled to be held on May 2019 before Test 2. It is hoped that this program would give significant impact to the students especially in answering Test 1 successfully. Upon completing this program, few improvements were highlighted and would be implemented in the next series.
