My role at the university

I’ve been teaching Mechanical Engineering at the University Science Malaysia since June of 2006. The Engineering campus is located in Penang on the mainland near Parit Buntar.

As a professor I believe that student projects are a crucial part of the education process.

They help train the student on real-world problems using pertinent techniques, and teach him to work in a group and to a deadline. In the global economy of today, people often work in small groups and must coordinate their efforts with contributors from many different sites.

Here is a little information on some cooperative university projects, and an application for getting a university project started.

Why are international cooperative university projects important?

• Globalization is pushing most industries to work on an international level.
• The participants benefit from real-world situations.
• Participants learn to specify and manufacture for remote production or use.
• Participants improve language and communications.
• Skill and techniques can be compared to a global standard.
• It fosters engineer-to-engineer communications between participating groups.
