TSTEM - Preparing for the Future Engineers

he engineering profession is very important as engineering activities have had major impacts on the world. Over the next decade, engineers will be involved in matters related to sustainable issues and development. Sustainability is centred on balancing environmental, social and economic issues and engineers require knowledge and proper training to do this.

The future is bright for those pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects at university level and if technology continues to grow rapidly, STEM will definitely be the way to the future.

The Engineering Education Technical Division (E2TD) of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, is working hard on matters related to STEM through the embedding of an interdisciplinary approach. The division has conducted many activities which are STEM-related. Rather than teaching the four STEM disciplines separately, we feel they should be integrated into a cohesive learning programme in real world conditions.

We hope our contribution to drive STEM education to an optimum level will have a positive impact on the nation and its people.

“A world without engineers is a world without control”.

Thank you.

editor’s note

by Ir. Razak Yakob Bulletin Editor

Salam & Hello All IEMers,

Things are usually quiet at the end of the year since many of us take the opportunity to use up our leave entitlement. We also take the time to reflect on what we have achieved and to plan for a successful 2019.

My first manager used to tell me “hope is not a plan”, so don’t just hope and pray for things to go your way, but instead, PLAN for SUCCESS to happen.

For this month, E2TD’s theme is STEM, an important and relevant subject we need to address.

Don’t forget to fill in the “What Do You Want” survey. If you have not received the email, please email to sec@iem.org.my .

Also, don’t forget to pay your annual subscription. Or pay a “lifetime membership” with a big discount and no change in rates in future. Isn’t that a great deal? We also promote the benefits of membership in JURUTERA , so keep a look out for these to maximise your benefits.

The Editorial Board would like to wish Christians “Merry Christmas” and to everyone else, “Happy New Year”.

Let’s continue to engineer our country to a greater height!

BUILDING A STRONG STEM

Ensuring sustainable development in Malaysia

As Malaysia gears itself for the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), it is imperative that its national education systems cater to the emerging needs of the 21st century, where Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) will play an increasingly significant role in increasing our country’s productivity.

Governments globally are investing in improving STEM education. Malaysia is no exception in wanting its schools, universities, education systems and the various industries to support STEM studies which will produce and sustain a new workforce of problem solvers, innovators, inventors, scientists, educators, researchers, technicians, TVETs, policy makers and even “STEMpreneurs”.

Launched in 2016, the National STEM Movement (NSM) defined STEM as disciplines of knowledge that consist of science (physics, chemistry and biology) and mathematics that are integrated with various technologies and engineering.

According to its chairperson, Professor Dato’ Dr Noraini Idris, technology should not be mistaken as pure science. Supported by the various sciences, mathematics and additional maths, it is a strength to be reckoned with.

She also reminded that additional maths is the very foundation on which good engineers are produced. “Let us elevate the standards and glory of engineers.”

When it comes to engineering, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad could not have put it better when he recently said that “when a nation controls engineering knowledge, its people will go forward”.

He said this in support of the country’s third national car project which he believed will be a catalyst to spur interest in mastering engineering since car manufacturing requires knowledge of designing, testing, parts and quality.

Prof. Noraini believes the best time to expose young ones to STEM is from ages 3 to 6, and that the STEM pipeline starts from cradle, nursery and preschool to primary, secondary, tertiary education and finally to the career path.

The teaching of science and mathematics should be related to the real issues in the world and should identify problems as well as encourage students to do research and come up with solutions, create the prototype, test, evaluate and

Professor Dato’ Dr Noraini Idris is Dean of the Faculty of Education at University Malaya and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation) at Sultan Idris Education University in Tanjung Malim, Perak. Involved in a government-funded research to develop a teacher education model for Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), she is also chairperson of the National STEM Movement.

redesign if necessary.

Tun Mahathir recently suggested that we steer away from the old way of learning through memorisation and instead, use edutainment cartoons to stimulate the minds of our young ones and to make learning fun. He also stressed on the importance of instilling good values right from kindergarten.

Education Minister Dr Mazlee Malik has announced that civic classes are now in force in schools and said Malaysia is keen to emulate Finland’s success story in education. Finland, meanwhile, has indicated that it is prepared to send over its people in this sector to assist Malaysia.

Dr Mazlee recently formed a 13-member National Education Policy Committee to review the country’s existing policies. The committee is expected to come up with its first draft of recommendations by year end and the second draft by February, 2019, with the penultimate draft report to be presented the following month before the final report is out next April.

Ultimately, if our education system focuses on STEM, we will produce students who can think critically and solve problems. The system should

also provide students with access to quality learning opportunities in STEM disciplines which will serve as the springboards for their careers in future.

According to the Academy Sciences of Malaysia, our country needs at least one million science and technology workers by 2020, of which 50% should be high-skilled workers. However, high-skilled workers will make up only 3% of the total 15 million workforce by 2020, compared to the more than 30% composition in advanced countries, said Prof. Noraini.

Ir. David Lai Kong Phooi, President of The Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), pointed out that “Malaysia needs to build a strong workforce in STEM which has always been viewed as a strong indicator of a nation’s ability to generate ideas towards the creation of innovative products and services as well as to sustain them”.

CURRENT REALITY

How can we transform our STEM education to meet the demands of 41R? Are we delivering it equitably to all students, and to what extent does our present education system ensure they will acquire the relevant knowledge and skills?

Prof. Noraini admitted readily that most of the students currently taking science courses in local universities are not up to par. She felt strongly that this should be made known to politicians, teachers, professors, academicians and parents.

“Can you imagine the future of students that we are producing? We have to do something,” she told a group of engineers recently at the Engineering Education Prestige Lecture Series on STEM Education: Engine For Growth, organised by IEM. What is the fundamental flaw in our education system? According to a study by the National Aeronautics & Space Administration, some education systems worldwide have made young children lose the ability to think independently.

Prof. Noraini lamented that they may all end up thinking the same thoughts and having the same ideas! “It is time to open up our minds to

move forward with a new way of teaching and to let our children enjoy this learning process by asking questions.”

Filled with the passion to push for STEM education in Malaysia, she sees an urgent need to have more scientists, technologists, ingenious mathematicians and innovative “STEMpreneurs” as productive human capital.

“We must start working closely with thought leaders in the various industries,” she said, pointing out that as the way forward, Singapore is already working with its first-year university students to do prototypes.

CHALLENGES AHEAD

While she admitted that flying STEM education higher in Malaysia is no easy feat, Prof. Noraini said it’s not impossible despite challenges such as the alarming drop in the number of science students in secondary schools over the last few years.

According to data from the Ministry of Education (MOE), the percentage of students who chose pure sciences in Form Four dropped to 19% this year from 21% in 2017 and 23% in 2016. Data obtained last year also showed that of 500,000 children doing the primary six UPSR examination, only 10% obtained A for mathematics. All these can be attributed to ineffective teaching methodologies, ad-hoc changes in education policies and low levels of awareness of the demand for specialised talents.

It is very scary, Prof. Noraini said, considering that, as a result of the poor enrolment in science classes, some educators were terminated and several private colleges closed down.

She then explained how the STEM Mentor-Mentee programme had helped schools. The programme, launched in 2016 by NSM, comprises mentors from universities (postgraduates and undergraduates) and industries who reach out to schools in all the 14 states to provide not only guidance but also to demonstrate that learning subjects such as physics and chemistry can be fun.

She said: “We started with a few schools in 2016 and expanded the

programme the next year after we received positive feedback. However, of the 10,000 schools nationwide, only 50-60 schools in each state have gone through the programme.”

UTMKL was the first university to assign 30 mentors to students in Form 3-5, bringing renewable energy projects to the schools. It also came up with a STEM literacy course under its co-curriculum, with plans to make it compulsory for its students. Meanwhile, Multimedia University is an NSM champion for “STEMpreneurs”.

Prof. Noraini has a lot of respect for Finland’s education system which works closely with industry players. She said the Finnish even have a body to ensure that accreditations are given to the inventions of games and toys which are pedagogically sound.

“This is what I am introducing in NSM under the STEMpreneurs programme so that we can make use of what we have created and the companies involved can benefit from local consumption,” she said, adding that NSM is also working closely with the newly-appointed Education Director-General, Datuk Dr Amin Senin, whose background is in mathematics, to come up with more training and modules for teachers.

“NSM is inviting institutions of higher studies to work with Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka to produce modules as a reference to help teachers make the learning of science and maths fun. There is plenty of learning materials for primary schools but not for secondary schools.”

She said we are fortunate that under the new government, MOE is now tasked with looking into the education system from preschool to tertiary level.

To address the challenge of secondary students lagging behind in science, mathematics and literacy achievements in the programme for international student assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), Prof. Noraini said NSM is

pushing for immediate changes in our education system.

“We have not been preparing our students to be thinkers. The assignments are all very theoretical and involve lots of paperwork,” she said, adding that NSM recommends the following:

• Adopt Finland’s education system where students do not have homework and are allowed to grow up to enjoy and appreciate life around them.

• Have recycling and recreative science gardening projects such as vertical gardens and mushroom walls in order to add fun to Science studies in school.

• Hold a 3-day STEM Explore Race which will tap on the many informal learning centres in our country, such as the four planetariums, seven science centres and the many museums and nature parks.

Prof. Noraini feels strongly that programmes at university level have to change and cope with 4IR demands which call for better communication skills and the selling of good ideas. “Strategic and creative thinking, with the help of STEM knowledge, has become key for us to go far,” she added.

The 4IR has also affected fundamental changes in the way goods and services are produced, delivered and consumed. It now focuses on the cyber physical system, having moved from the use of

computer, electronics and enhanced automation under the previous industrial revolution to autonomation where machines “learn” to make decisions based on the knowledge, skill and logic of the human mind.

WORKING TOGETHER

Categorised as an upper middleincome country based on its GDP per capita, Malaysia has improved two notches this year to rank 35 out of 126 countries with a score of 43.16 in the Global Innovation Index compared to 42.42 in 2017.

Since we do not have enough STEM talents yet, Prof. Noraini felt it is vital for all parties to work together. NSM members include schools, teachers, principals, headmasters, education officers from the various states and professors from universities.

“Besides organisations such as the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, IBM, Microsoft and Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, the Institute of Engineers Malaysia is one of our strong collaborators,” she said.

NSM also strongly supports the Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair (KLESF) which promotes STEM to primary and secondary students.

NSM collaborated with Malaysia Technology Expo to introduce the STEM Mentor-Mentee Awards 2018 in February in recognition of universities and industries which took part in its Mentor-Mentee programme. Prof. Noraini said this will continue and the awards will be held next February, with the addition of a STEM Teaching Innovation Award.

She explained that she learnt a lot about the mentor-mentee programme organised by Israel at an international conference on the subject when she was in Sydney, Australia, a decade ago. The programme was well structured and the mentors were successful businessmen and women.

She said: “In Malaysia, the mentormentee programme stops during the school holidays but in Israel, it continues. We need more sharing. I am now asking businessmen, associations and SMEs (small and

medium enterprises) to adopt a school and turn it into a STEM learning centre. Besides industries, we also need more under/post-graduate mentors so that we can broaden our reach in STEM education.

“NSM has also been working with shopping malls which have available space and are concerned that not enough people are going there for shopping. For instance, at Da Men Mall in Subang Jaya, Selangor, IEM took part with volunteer students. It was a win-win situation. To draw the crowd, we brought in science-related activities and displays featuring drones and robots on all the four floors. We have also been doing that at The School by Jaya One in Petaling Jaya.

“We are now looking for more malls and open spaces where we can educate the public on the fun of learning science. We sell RM5 coupons to encourage the people to go to every booth and once they have completed the hands-on activities or questions, they are given a prize.”

She has plans to organise Jom Heboh-style concerts in every state, ending with a big competition bash later at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. She said: “Why not promote STEM through rock concerts? We need funds to do this, so if we can get the industries to support us, it will be good.”

For this project, her plans are to combine the resources of Pusat Sains (Science Centre) in each state. IEM, which has a branch in every state, is keen to be a part of this STEM concert project.

CREATIVE SCHOOL PROJECTS

Prof. Noraini suggested that IEM adopts a few schools and turns a classroom into a focus area on engineering. She pointed out that this approach was undertaken at Sekolah Kebangsaan Desa Baiduri in Cheras, Selangor, where a classroom had been transformed into a STEM learning centre equipped with technological gadgets.

In Kota Baru, Kelantan, the principal of Sekolah Kebangsaan Zainab II encouraged parents and

volunteers to participate in its science garden project.

“In the school garden, there are signs on trees with questions such as ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What food do I consume?’. These arouse the students’ curiosity and they will be interested to find out more,” she explained.

“The students are also given a plot to conduct experiments on plants. Since the school had limited funds and could not afford a visualiser, the students were quite innovative and made one themselves with the help of the teacher.

“Amidst kampung surroundings, the school has created an ambience which encourages the students to read and hold discussions. These are just some of the school projects. There is a lot more to be done. We are not there yet.”

Ir. David Lai said he developed an early interest in science during visits to science museums. He felt that schools should organise trips to attractions such as Petrosains in Kuala Lumpur because when students have fun, they will warm up to the subject of science.

However, Prof. Noraini said not all schools have the funds to do so. To bring STEM and other funlearning concepts nearer home to the students, projects such as vertical gardens should be encouraged, especially in the rural schools.

“We have also asked these schools to convert part of their grounds for such projects or have initiatives such as harnessing solar energy so that students can enjoy learning how this is done,” she said.

There have been calls from schools to introduce such concepts to them via mobile roadshows but funding remains the main hindrance so far.

Prof. Noraini is known for coming up with out-of-the-box ideas for school children such as using ice-cream sticks as teaching tools to make drones. So it is only a matter of time that she and her team will come up with more creative and innovative solutions on how to meet the growing needs of STEM education.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

IEM Branches

an Integral and Important Component of IEM

In my inaugural Presidential Address on 21 April this year, I expressed the importance of IEM Branches. I said I would be engaging more with the branches, with the objective of aligning their aspirations, agenda and activities with those of IEM HQ and to build in them the trust and esprit de corps that is the basis of any strong, united organisation.

My message is clear: Branches and Headquarters share the same objectives and fate as well as similar challenges. For IEM to succeed and to be able to serve the needs of our members and the engineering fraternity, we must work together as one and not as disparate entities.

As many of you might know, I came from the Perak Branch and was its former Branch Chairman. I’ve also had the privilege to be part of the governance structure in HQ for 31 years, culminating in my current position as President. On my long road to the top, I was grateful for the trust given to my leadership, both at Branch as well as National levels. I thank not only those who have supported me but also those whose criticism have helped me be a better person.

Today, I’m bringing my hard learnt experiences to the task of building a stronger IEM by integrating more holistically, the workings of Branches and HQ. This will be achieved through not greater control but rather through better understanding, transparency, dialogue, collaboration and eventually, greater autonomy in a rule-based system of management.

Since taking office, I have made 5 trips to 10 Branches (while being mindful to incur

minimal costs); there remains only 2 Branches which I still need to cover (see table). On each visit, I found that engagement with members was productive and memorable, due largely to the dedicated purpose of each visit.

At each Branch meeting, I focused on 4 important areas of engagement.

1. To listen to the views and opinions of the Branch committees.

2. To consolidate all Branch and HQ accounts as required by the Registrar of Societies. This will require all Branches to shift their financial year to end on

31 December, to be in line with the HQ financial year. To facilitate this, a common accounting software system, MYOB, will be used in the HQ and all Branches.

3. Subscription income: This has been identified as a major contributor to the financial well-being of IEM. Increasing subscriptions through new memberships and arresting arrears of current members are therefore, major issues that must be addressed. Branch committees have been requested to assist in collecting arrears which have been increasing at an alarming rate.

4. Due to the prevailing economic conditions, IEM’s cash flow has

dipped into negative territory due to reduced income and rising expenses. Under such circumstances, there is a compelling need to reexamine our operations to increase income and reduce expenses wherever possible. One key message brought to the Branches was the urgency to exercise extreme prudence in expenditure and to think of new ways to generate income. The enormous task of dealing with IEM’s current financial situation means little resources is left for other important matters. Therefore, it is incumbent for Branches to exercise empathy with and to stand by HQ in tackling the daunting tasks ahead. It requires no less than a shift in mindset to understand that all activities, wherever they are held, are part of our overall aspirations towards a common goal. It is my ardent hope that together, we will make that happen.

I end with a quotation from my favourite management philosopher,

Engineers of the Future

Technological innovation is key to prosperity and growth for all nations worldwide. The important driver here is engineering and engineering disciplines are a combination of various principles; engineers create things which are critical to industrial innovation.

Through the years, we see more diversity in the engineering field where increasingly specialised knowledge and skills are required. Today, an engineer is required to have multi-disciplinary knowledge. The challenge now is how to prepare the engineer of the future to meet this standard.

This article will discuss the restructuring of the current university education system, graduate attributes, promoting of design skills, interdisciplinary competence and contextual competence as well as potential barriers in order to realise the vision of Engineers of 2020 so that future engineers will develop a broader set of competencies associated with the growth of science and technology.

RESTRUCTURING HIGHER EDUCATION

It is important to have an education system that enhances student potential effectively and productively so that the quality of students will have a positive and greater impact locally and in global industrial development. Research conducted by Steela et al., (2015) proposed to have a better industry by transforming the education system to be more competitive and parallel with the rate of growth of industries.

One example mentioned is Sweden where there is good relationship between industries

and researchers. The industries there guide university supervisors and students on the type of solutions they want (Chowdhury, B. H. 2000). From this, it may be seen that they have achieved one step up on the development of industrial technology. On top of that, the author concluded that the curriculum of universities needs to be modified to be more realistic, with job-related skills and knowledge.

The education system should be exposed to the needs of industries while maintaining fundamental engineering knowledge. This is one way to prepare future engineers to be more competent when it comes to technology.

Deepa, J. (2015) proposed that education should bridge the industry by introducing technical finishing schools where students will be taught to change their mindset from

thinking like a student to thinking like an engineer, to develop their personalities and to learn skills such as business communication, etc. Figure 1 shows the bridge that connects education to industry.

The author stated that feedback at each stage is important in long run. The technical schools should provide suggestions based on the students and companies need to report to the technical schools on areas where students need to improve on so that the next batch of students will be better.

In Malaysia, the technical finishing school is similar to Skim Latihan 1 Malaysia (SLIM) programme which trains students according to services required by companies; trainees will experience actual jobs performed by employees. However, not many companies support the programme and the quota for each batch/intake is limited. It is very important to have good collaboration with all types of industries to be able to produce good engineers in future.

It is very time consuming to want to change the whole education system as one has to take into consideration various factors and processes. However, the proposed method mentioned earlier can be considered as we need high quality engineers in future instead of just greater numbers.

ATTRIBUTES & VALUES

Rapid development increases the demand for well-educated engineers from diverse backgrounds. Therefore, the challenge is to have competent engineers who can meet the requirements of the market. Parkinson, A. (2009) identified 13 characteristics that a competent engineer should have. These are:

• Respect for other cultures.

• Ability to interact across cultures.

• Knowledge on the history, government and economic structure of various countries.

• Ability to communicate in a second language at a conversational level.

• Ability to communicate in a second language at professional/ technical level.

• Ability to work or direct a team of ethnic/multicultural origins.

• Ability to handle ethical issues pertaining to culture or ethnicity.

• Ability to perceive differences in culture related to product design, manufacture and use.

• Ability to perceive the connectedness of the world and the function of global economy.

• Ability to know the downside of cultural differences on how engineering tasks may be approached.

• Familiarity with international aspects of topics.

• Ability to practise engineering on a global scale.

• Ability to view a person as a “citizen of the world” as well as of a particular company.

Dias et al., (2015) also shared important values that future engineers should learn, such as having a good relationship with co-workers to ensure a project runs smoothly and is completed on time. It is important to clear all doubts within the team so as to have a good relationship and to ensure positive outcome in the project/work.

Apart from that, Rajala, S. A. (2012) concluded that engineers need to have a continuous motivation towards his/her professional role in order to survive in this challenging environment.

Engineers need to have all the basic elements mentioned above and should continue to improve on their knowledge and skills in order to stay competitive and to withstand pressure as industries and technology keep growing at fast rate.

DESIGN SKILLS,

INTERDISCIPLINARY COMPETENCE & CONTEXTUAL COMPETENCE

Apart from the education system and attributes, design is a critical skill required in most engineering fields such as civil, mechanical, biomedical, chemical and aerospace engineering where one must have

a strong foundation in technical knowledge and learn problemsolving skills. One also needs to be able to work professionally with clients and customers to design products, processes and give output to complex commercial/public problems.

By providing the design solution, one must take into account the specific context in which the design will be used, depending on the relevant situations including social, cultural, economic, political and environmental purposes. However, the majority of engineering students in universities only work on the report of their designs and problem-solving instead of being involved in cocurricular activities.

The world needs engineers who have disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth. In educating Engineers of 2020, we must restructure design to give a more effective approach to engineering education and practice. This is because engineers of the future must be able to work with disciplines both within and outside the engineering field. This skill set, labelled “interdisciplinary competence”, is multidimensional. It is about being able to process and integrate knowledge and skills gained from other disciplines to solve problems.

Being sensitive to engineering problems and solutions in many contexts is required for good engineering practice. It can be defined as “contextual competence” or the ability of an engineer to look at social, cultural, environmental, political and other contexts to mediate the development of optimal engineering solutions. A contextually competent engineer should be able to provide alternative solutions without neglecting context-related needs while evaluating competing technical and contextual assets and liabilities.

The curriculum is an effective way to enhance design skills, interdisciplinary skills and contextual competence. A combination of the problems that students solve in their

study, the integration of knowledge and skills from other disciplines as well as the work done within and outside of classroom activities will enhance a student’s development of these critical engineering skills.

POTENTIAL BARRIERS

This part mentioned some of the challenges faced by engineering schools and programmes to realise the vision of Engineers of 2020 Few engineering faculties are well prepared to teach and more challenges will arise if the academic institutions prioritise research over teaching and practices.

Many faculty staff members are taking the effort to improve their teaching methods, to provide internship programmes and are calling for industry experts to speak to the students. However, faculty reward-and-incentive systems have resulted in a low focus on the educational mission. Faculties tend to focus more on research than teaching which may hinder lecturers from spending time on extracurricular activities and projects which can help to better prepare students for their careers in future.

There is a big difference between what engineering education should be and what is actually done in the classroom. Although the engineering faculty may support many of the goals associated with the vision of Engineers of 2020 , curricular realities lag behind. Engineers of the future should be able to work on interdisciplinary problems and interdisciplinary teams, but the curriculum does not appear to have a similar goal. The engineering faculty is responsible for helping students create the connections among engineering disciplines. However, innovative engineering solutions may require seeking new connections.

The desire for disciplinary interconnections will not affect the undergraduate curriculum. The engineering faculty can help students consider multiple perspectives and find less formal opportunities for students to work with peers from other disciplines.

CONCLUSION

To be successful, an engineer of the future needs strong analytical skills which are fundamental in engineering practice as well as other attributes such as innovation and creativity, skills in communication, management and leadership, a high level of ethics and professionalism, resilience, flexibility and an understanding of the complex societal, global and professional contexts in which engineering is practised. Thus, Engineers of 2020 will need a new kind of engineering education to develop such a diverse set of interdisciplinary knowledge and skills.

Evolving Engineering Education for the Future

ENGINEERS ARE PROBLEM SOLVERS WHO RISE FROM CHANGES

What is engineering? What do engineers do? These are questions that secondary school students normally ask when enquiring about engineering programmes offered in universities at education fairs or STEM-related activities organised by various NGOs.

In general, engineering is a problem-solving process that connects new needs to new solutions. Answers to the above questions are usually very generic, such as engineers design things and engineers build things or solve daily problems affecting human lives. Figure 1 illustrates this simple relationship in a nutshell.

This rather simple relationship can be further elaborated in a clearer picture where engineers are defined as designers or problem solvers who come up with designs that offer solutions to problems arising from the need to satisfy man’s complex needs and desires. This relationship is clearly illustrated in Figure 2.

It should be noted that the needs of society are the source of the problems. Engineers are there to solve these problems by developing new technological solutions.

As time progresses, there will be changes in society and the environment (as well as other factors). Such changes affect all humans and include health care issues, increase in ageing population, global warming and demand for energy, water resources and food.

These changes create needs that are complicated in nature and which demand solutions from engineers. In other words, as explained by Cropley (2015), these changes, which occur over

time, will generate new needs and new solutions. This is illustrated in Figure 3, where change is the primary driver for new solutions.

SURVIVAL SKILLS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

For centuries, engineers were responsible for a large portion of major technological breakthroughs (Puccio & Cabra, 2010). Now, more than ever, the world needs engineers who are able to solve present and future challenges as well as problems (Twohill, 2012). This is mainly due to the fact that design and problem-solving activities are an integral part of engineering.

In 2006, The Partnership for 21st Century Skills, in collaboration with the Conference Board, Corporate Voices For Working Families and the Society For Human Resource Management, conducted an indepth study to determine and identify the skills which employers look for today (Casner-Lotto & Benner, 2006). Figure 4 illustrates these skills as listed in the executive summary of the survey.

From the survey, it is clear that applied skills are very important. For the engineering sector, 5 countries and regions had also developed their own national framework/ manual for engineering graduates and employers, where various traits,

attributes, qualities and skills were identified as the required attributes for engineering graduates (Yuzainee, et al., 2012). Engineering education providers are now required and expected to produce highly skilled, creative and innovative engineers.

Having evolved from a productionbased economy to one that is knowledge-based, Malaysia is definitely in need of a well-designed higher education curriculum that focuses not only on technical skills and knowledge but also on equipping graduates with abilities such as creativity, innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship. This will enable Malaysia to stay upfront, relevant and competitive in the global marketplace (Selvaraj, Anbalagan, & Azlin, 2014).

Apart from this, our engineering education system must not only be sensitive to these changes in the environment and the needs of the society but must also be able to cater to developing/cultivating skills that are critical for the survival of future engineers in the 21st century.

ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA

It all started in 1956 with the setting up of the Engineering Department at the University of Malaya (then in Singapore). After Malaya gained independence in 1957, the University of Malaya campus was moved to its current location in Kuala Lumpur in 1958. Engineering education achieved another major milestone in 1975 with the upgrading of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) from its previous status as a technical college. Ever since then, it has become a major institution for the education and training of engineers in all disciplines.

Over the years, engineering education in Malaysia has undergone tremendous changes to meet professional, technological and industrial needs. Currently the engineering curriculum is tailored to meet the Bloom’s Taxonomy as well as the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) without neglecting or overlooking the emphasis on core

engineering subjects. These core subjects are the foundation for all engineering programmes and help nurture and enhance the ability of the graduates to identify and solve problems.

Unfortunately, all countries around the world, including Malaysia, are not doing enough to support these 21st century learning skills development such as creativity and innovation (Brand, Hendy, & Harrison, 2015; Robinson, 2013; Terkowsky & Haertel, 2013; Haertel, Terkowsky, & Jahnke, 2012; Daud, Omar, Turiman, & Osman, 2012; Beghetto, 2010; Kazerounian & Foley, 2007). In many cases, new technologies applied in the world of education are simply just reinforcing the old ways of teaching and learning. (Resnick, 2007).

Malaysian engineering graduates are often reported to be as competent as graduates from overseas universities in terms of education and knowledge. However, research shows that local graduates are lacking in skills such as communication and presentation as well as in creative thinking and innovation (Soon & Quek, 2013).

With today’s rapid technological advancement, there is a need to constantly review and update undergraduate engineering programmes in Malaysia in order to produce engineers equipped with the necessary skills to survive in the 21st century and who will be able to meet the needs of the future generations without sacrificing the core basic engineering education (Azami, Mohd., Hassan, Norhamidi, & Farah, 2009; Fairuzza, Nazuir, & Wahid, 2011).

CONCLUSION

Employers are looking to hire workers with adequate skills and who are able to cope with the current and future trends, needs and challenges. Engineering education in Malaysia has to constantly evolve and adapt in order to produce graduates who are able to exhibit a greater degree of employability and survival skills in order to secure employment easily.

The Man Who Engineered MODERN MALAYSIA

hen you come to Bangunan Ingenieur, do you notice the plaque on the wall at the entrance which says the building was officiated by “Y.A.B. DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD" on 22 April, 1977! He was the Deputy Prime Minister then.

As fate would have it, 27 years later, on 17 April, 2004, Y.A.B. Tun M (as he is now fondly known as) was conferred the IEM Distinguished Honorary Fellow at the 45th IEM Annual Dinner.

At a meeting in August 2018, the AFEO governing body lauded the feats of the 93-year-old leader and conferred on him the highest and most prestigious award, the AFEO DISTINGUISHED HONORARY PATRON, during CAFEO36 in Singapore on 13 November, 2018.

sails an 11-metre yacht; he himself built a few small motorised boats and he started LIMA (Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition).”

There are also many mega infrastructure projects that we are proud to be associated with and benefitting from.

His contribution to the engineering industry is recognised not only in Malaysia but also by the regional engineering community. At CAFEO21 (Conference of ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organisations) in 2003, he was conferred the AFEO Distinguished Honorary Fellow.

Tun M came out of retirement in May this year to be our 7th Prime Minister.

In the citation for the conferment, academician Tan Sri Datuk Ir. (Dr) Hj. Ahmad Zaidee Laidin FASc pointed out that “Tun Mahathir has achieved what we, as engineers, collectively seldom envision. His interests span land, air and water. On land, he introduced motorcar manufacturing and F1 motor racing. He is now looking at the electric car. In the air, he can pilot a small plane. He sent communication satellites and our first cosmonaut into space. As for water, he

“As an ASEAN Leader, Tun Mahathir tirelessly champions the acceleration of development in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as well as the enhancing of connectivity in the Indonesia-MalaysiaThailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) and Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) subregions. All these are in line with Tun’s adage of Prosper Thy Neighbour,” added Tan Sri. He is certainly one of us and we are indeed fortunate to have a globally respected leader who is so supportive of our engineering community.

On 29 October, 2018, I led the IEM delegation, together with IES President, to pay a courtesy visit to you, our beloved 7th Prime

Words cannot describe how awesome and honoured we felt to meet you up close and personal. You shook my hand with a firm grip and greeted us with a broad smile, while staring at me with a commanding look that reflected regal and true statesmanship.

When we mentioned that many African leaders whom we had met at the recent international conference in London, sent their best regards and expressed wishes for your help and advice, you replied: "Please tell them I have no time for them now as I need to solve the many problems in this country."

Your unreserved outpouring of your feelings of responsibility for this country really touched my heart and tears welled up in my eyes. For a senior statesman of such advanced age, your quality leisure moments should be spent with your loved ones and grandchildren. Instead, you chose to labour and worry about the welfare of this country.

Tun, I salute you for the love and care you have for this nation. I pray that you will be blessed with best health and longevity always and that we, the whole nation, are looking forward to celebrating your 100th birthday with

Professor on Duty – Organised by E2TD in Collaboration with Universiti Putra Malaysia & Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

In October, 2017, the Engineering Education Technical Division (E2TD) of The Institution of Engineers Malaysia organised the Bijak Matematik programme in collaboration with Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Maluri, Kuala Lumpur. Acting as facilitators to assist the Form 5 students of the school in Mathematics for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Examination were 32 students from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The facilitators were assigned four students each and their role was to assist the latter to answer Mathematics questions practically.

The students were given a set of questions from Paper 1 and Paper 2. The facilitators explained and discussed the methods used to solve each question. More attention was paid to weaker students to help them better understand and be able to answer the questions. This approach allowed weaker students to get one-to-one assistance and explanations for respective topics and questions. The facilitators also gave advice on time management so that the students would be able to answer all the questions within the allocated time.

The students learnt new techniques of answering questions effectively. When placed in smaller groups, each with a facilitator who was only 4-5 years older, the students felt more comfortable about asking questions. By answering more types of questions, the students also gained necessary exposure to identify the various concepts of questions and this, in turn, gave them more

confidence to perform during the real examination.

Indirectly, the programme also gave the students a chance to find out more about IPTA/IPTS (Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam/ Swasta) in Malaysia in preparation for further studies. They asked the facilitators questions on the route/ lifestyle to success in university. Apart from helping with Mathematics questions, the facilitators also shared their experiences as former SPM candidates to motivate the students further.

In support of the campaign by the Ministry of Higher Education where undergraduates are encouraged to conduct activities in the community, the Bijak Matematik programme is seen as a good approach that benefits both the undergraduates and the secondary school students. By dealing with younger students and school teachers in an effective way, the facilitators can enhance their communication skills as well as improve their thinking skills when helping the school students.

They also learnt leadership skills as they had to ensure all members in the group understood questions

and were actively involved in the discussions. When monitoring the progress of each student, the facilitators used soft skills to ensure everyone was given equal attention.

In conclusion, the facilitators gained valuable experiences and became more confident about communicating with different sectors of the public. This is a good initiative by the government to develop and improve the skills and potentials of IPT students in self-development. It can be seen as benefits gain by society not only in the area of education but also in technology transfer and technical skills.

Career in Engineering

ENGINEERING EDUCATION TECHNICAL DIVISION

reported by

Ir. Chew Weng Yuen

The Engineering Education Technical Division co-organised a talk on “Career in Engineering” with Engineers Australia Malaysia Chapter and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Malaysia Branch, on 1 August, 2018, at Wisma IEM.

The talk was delivered by Ir. Dr Ling Chen Hoe, Senior General Manager and Director of Meiden Malaysia, with 24 participants in the audience. He commenced by showing the profiles of several personalities in the entertainment and corporate world who also have engineering degrees. To illustrate the marvels of engineering, he then showed pictures of historical manmade structures and buildings which have been classified as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

In an article titled “Why Engineers Make Great Leaders” (November 2014), The Harvard Business Review (HBR) stated that 24 of its best performing CEOs had an engineering degree. It further mentioned that an engineering education gives a person a practical and pragmatic orientation that breeds an ethos of building things that work, regardless of whether it is a machine, structure or organisation. It also teaches one to do things economically, efficiently and eloquently, with reliable outcomes, and with a margin of safety. These principles are important when one is helming an organisation.

In water and wastewater treatment, engineering plays a pivotal role in ensuring our health. Through various processes, engineers are able to deliver clean and potable

water to the public, eliminating many waterborne diseases which have plagued civilisations in the past. Due to the scarcity of fresh water in some parts of the world, engineers have even designed seawater desalination plants to convert saline water into drinking water.

The same goes for treatment of sewage. Wastewater and sewage treatment plants which employ myriad engineering processes and involve various engineering disciplines, have helped prevent the outbreak of diseases in both urban and rural areas.

The Pahang-Selangor Water Transfer Project is a good example of how engineering can resolve the issue of water scarcity in Selangor. The many engineering disciplines involved in the project show the versatility of an engineering career. For instance, a tunnelling engineer may find himself/herself involved in the water supply, irrigation and

drainage systems, a highway or a traffic dispersion project.

Electrical energy is essential to the development of a country’s economy. Any power outage would result in massive economic losses in terms of output for factories and the disruption in the quality of human life.

Due to the adverse effects on the climate from conventional power sources such as coal and the depletion of fossil fuel, engineers are now looking at other innovative and sustainable energy sources. Besides hydro, solar and wind, engineers are looking at biofuel obtained from recycling organic waste, biogaspowered cogeneration process and other sources of energy. It was mentioned that a giant battery was recently used to deliver electricity in South Australia. This goes to show that innovation is always at the forefront of an engineering career.

Ir. Dr Ling Chen Hoe (right) receiving a memento from the session chairman

Other examples where engineers have put their engineering skills to use are the design of innovative survival equipment that arose from the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami where thousands of people died in the massive flooding and from the impact of debris that came with it.

Ir. Dr Ling also briefly mentioned some iconic buildings, infrastructure and transportation projects which employed both innovative and cutting-edge technologies during the construction. These assets are currently reaping vast positive economic and social impacts for the respective stakeholders.

Engineers must always evolve, innovate and learn new skills in today’s competitive world. Analogies used included the evolution of mobile phones of yesteryear to today’s smartphones and the Internet of Things (IoT). Organisations which do not adapt to new technologies will not survive. Similarly, engineers who do not

subscribe to new skills may soon find themselves replaced by technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Engineering is susceptible to the economic cycles of a country (and the world). As such, during a downturn, engineers may soon find themselves replaced by AI. However, those who equip themselves with leadership qualities, the ability to work in a team and learn irreplaceable skills such as the ability to solve problems involving both critical and creative thinking as well as skills required to “do the job”, will always be in demand.

In conclusion, Ir. Dr Ling reiterated that an engineering career is both challenging and satisfying. However, to remain relevant, engineers must continuously learn to upgrade their technical, human and conceptual skills, skills which cannot be replaced by AI or technology. They must be adaptable to change and must constantly embrace disruptive innovations.

Ir. Prof. Dr Mandeep

Singh Jit Singh

On 31 July, 2018, Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr Rosdiadee Nordin gave a talk on Malaysia: Readiness T owards Wireless 5g Networks , at the C&S and TUS Lecture Room in Wisma IEM.

The talk was on the Fifth Generation (5G) Wireless Network which was expected to be ready by 2020. The Olympic Games in Tokyo that year has been chosen as the event to showcase 5G wireless technology to the world audience. 5G will offer higher spectral efficiencies by at least 12 times and support sub 1 millisecond delay & massive Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity.

One of the potential technologies currently being developed is Massive MIMO, where it is worked by spatial multiplexing wireless transmissions through a large number of antennas. The talk, illustrating the benefits of Massive MIMO and how it was implemented in a real-time environment, was based on the experience gained during the

speaker’s research attachment at University of Bristol (UoB), United Kingdom. UoB currently holds the world record in wireless spectral efficiency from the Massive MIMO prototype.

Dr Rosdiadee spoke on massive multiple-input multiple-output, green heterogeneous networks, green millimeter wave, green 5G device-

to-device communication, green machine-to-machine communication and energy-efficient 5G architecture which is the key to 5G.

The talk ended with interactive discussions on Malaysia’s readiness for 5G technology and looked at the comprehensive overview on the physical layer techniques adopted by 5G.

Visit to TM Research & Development Sdn. Bhd.

reported by ENGINEERING

EDUCATION TECHNICAL DIVISION

Ir. Dr Shahruddin bin Muslimim

On 28 March, 2018, the Engineering Education Technical Division (E2TD) organised a technical visit to TM Research & Development (TMR&D) at the TM Innovation Centre in Cyberjaya, for 33 IEM members and non-members. The objective was to gain an insight into TMR&D and to obtain a clear understanding of its activities and its contributions to the local telecommunications landscape, especially in research and development.

The visitors were received by representatives from TMR&D’s Top Management, led by Haji Zakaria Ahmad, its General Manager (Research Strategy and Business Management).

Haji Zakaria Ahmad said TMR&D is a Malaysian government approved R&D company and the innovation hub for Telekom Malaysia (TM) group. He added

that R&D has always had a strategic role in TM.

Starting as a division in the early 1980s, TMR&D was later incorporated as a company in 2001. Its main role is to support TM's vision to make life and business easier for a better Malaysia. Today, it is positioned as the key enabler to drive TM's digital aspiration as it moves beyond connectivity into new value-added digital and smart services, covering customer experience and resolving operational challenges through process optimisation and new business opportunities.

During the Q&A session, Haji Zakaria Ahmad and his team indicated that one of the first things TMR&D embarked on was to develop TM's own all-digital workforce management system (SWIFT) for field operations in 2013. TMR&D developed its own slotting algorithm to send work orders to

the field force on the fly. Today, this platform allows all interactions with the field operation teams for real-time nationwide tracking and monitoring of order fulfilment and restoration to Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) inventory.

The visitors also learnt that the company had developed a WiFi Optimiser mobile app for Unifi customers which would allow customers to be in control of the quality of their WiFi signal by allowing them to measure signal quality and to change their WiFi channel without having to log in to their equipment routers. In the past, this could only be done by the TM field force on site. The tool is now available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

In the IoT space, TMR&D has assisted in realising the establishment of an Integrated Smart Services Exchange Framework (ISSEF) for Telekom Malaysia. This platform enables smarter business experiences with smart security and

parking surveillance and is currently in Beta implementation stage at many TM-owned corporate and business buildings.

Apart from doing research and development internally on its own, the company also collaborates with local universities, especially Multimedia University, on research works. Such

collaborations are necessary as TMR&D is serious about looking for solutions in 4 focused areas while embedding security in whatever they do. The four areas of interest are:

1. Connectivity: Wireless, optical wireless and vectoring copper technology.

2. E3 Infrastructure: Open-Container, Software-Defined network, Network Function Virtualisation.

3. Productivity Tools: Advanced analytics, network digitization, Network security & Fraud.

4. Digital Services: Open Innovation Platform, Smart Infra, Enterprise & Home Tech.

Hiking at Endau Rompin

descent the same way we came, hoping to reach camp before sunlight faded away. After more hours of difficulty – the seemingly unending climb downhill proved particularly agonising for our knees – we heaved a sigh of relief when we saw the familiar sight of our camp and gladly stepped into our tents.

The Highway & Transportation Engineering Technical Division organised a hiking/camping trip to Endau Rompin National Park on 8-10 September, 2018, for 14 people comprising IEM members and nonmembers.

One of the oldest lowland tropical rainforests in the world and featuring some of the oldest rock formations, Endau Rompin is situated south of the Lesong Forest Reserve (Pahang) and to the northeast of Labis and Endau Mas Forest Reserves (Johor). It covers approximately 870 sq. km., making it the second largest national park in Peninsular Malaysia.

At noon on 8 September, four 4WD vehicles convened at Perbadanan Taman Negara Johor office in Kahang town and we drove through oil palm plantations to Kampung Peta, the base camp.

From Kampung Peta, it was a onehour boat ride to Kuala Jasin and then

an hour’s gentle trek to Kuala Marong, where we set up tents for the 3D/2N camp.

Helping us was a team of local Orang Asli, which included National Park hiking guides and chefs who prepared our meals. After dinner and some relaxing time together, we went to bed.

The next day, after an energising breakfast, we began our journey at 8.30 a.m. to hike up a mountain jungle trail. We aimed to reach Buaya Sangkut Waterfall by 12.30 p.m. The hike through the Endau Rompin National Park jungle trail was both challenging and tiring. It demanded that we had a certain level of stamina, yet it was fun and refreshing as we were escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We reached Buaya Sangkut waterfall according to schedule and ate a packed lunch there. After spending some time to enjoy the beauty of Nature, we made our

Although the distance from the campsite to Buaya Sangkut was only 5.5km, the round trip took us approximately eight hours because of the complexities of the trail. According to records in our smartphones, we had walked more than 20,000 steps! After the tiring hike, we relaxed with a good dinner and got to know each other better.

On the third day, we broke camp after breakfast and left at around 9 a.m. We went back the same way we came and finally left Endau Rompin National Park after lunch.

One unforgettable experience during the whole trip was being bitten by leeches. These were everywhere and even penetrated our so-called “leech-proof” socks.

The trip was a good opportunity to make new friends and to enjoy the natural beauty of our National Park. Hope to see you again, Endau Rompin.
