Tue, 20/8/2019 – Completed the curriculum and new programme review as Adjunct Professor with geoscience lecturers of University of Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). I am very excited with the spirit of this group of young lecturers who want to enhance their geoscience programme. There are 3 things really excited me;
1) inclusion of ‘Professional Practice and Management’ as part of core subject. This subject is very important for Professional Geologists who should understand the professional ethics and code of conducts, relevant acts in Malaysia as well as project and data management.
2) managed to develop framework of new programme that emphasis on application of geotechnology, ICT, remote sensing, softwares and everything related to IR4.0 without sacrificing fundamental geoscience subjects.
3) few elective courses really applied in nature and very relevant to industry. Some of these courses similar to courses given at post-graduate level in some universities locally or abroad.
Trust geoscience programme in UMK have bright future ahead!
