Lecturer: PN AZIMAH ABDUL GHAPAR

My favorite lecturer at UNITEN

PN AZIMAH ABDUL GHAPAR

Each person must have their own favorite teacher. Just as I do. At Uniten I have my own favorite lecturer and her name is Azimah Bt. Abdul Ghapar. I'm very pleased with the way she teach in classroom or lab. In Uniten she teaches several subjects for System and Networking course such as Principles of C Programming, Computer Organization, Operating System and so on and so forth. For me, she was a good and talented lecturer since she taught at Uniten from 2000 untill now. From my experience learnt with her, she will come to each student to ask if the students understand or not with what  she taught. If the student does not understand about a topic, she will explain to the students several times until the students really understand about the topic. That is why I really like her.

Lecturer: Mr Uwe Heinz Rudi Dippel

Mr Uwe Heinz Rudi Dippel is System Administrator's lecturer. He's a Germans. He taught me System Administration on semester 1. Althought he is strict but he really care about his fellow students.

If you enter his class after ten minutes, he will take your id and mark late on your name at the attendance. He is a very helpful lecturer. if you don't understand, he would not mind repeating himself.

Besides that, Mr Uwe is a very environmental friendly person. He cycle everyday to COIT and then keep his bicycle inside.

However, now Mr Uwe is no longer in Uniten. I wish he had a better life out there.

Lecturer: Mr Ng Yu Jin

Mr Ng Yu Jin *

Bright personality. Energetic. Confident. Yes, that's how I describe my English lecturer who taught me for only about two months. During that 2-month duration, to me, he is a unique human being who thinks out of the box and has vision beyond borders. What I admire most about him is that he is always prepared to face unexpected situations. 

Frankly speaking, my first impression of him is not positive. I saw him as an incredibly strict lecturer. But as time goes by, my impression towards him changed. Mr Yu Jin has a powerful aura that attracts students to attend his classes. To my surprise, yes, his English class was always full with students. If you are in his class, there would always be interesting activities going on. He would make each of his students participate in class activities.

He has the ability to convince people to believe in whatever he is doing. For example, this blog. He encouraged us to write any articles about UNITEN to improvise UNITEN's current website which is not attractive and out of trend. Amazingly, all of my classmates are currently putting their efforts on blogging in order to promote UNITEN using their own creative ways. This is a good start to UNITEN to produce more capable students in future.

Mr Ng Yu Jin during his small farewell party

Although he is no longer teaching us, as he has other responsibilities that are urgently important, in the duration of two months, he has taught us to be confident in what we're doing, be committed and never procrastinate. Mr Ng Yu Jin is a good example to look at. I would like to say thank you for teaching me many good values and I wish him good luck in his future endeavors!

UNITEN'S PRODUCT


The Invention and New Product Exposition (INPEX 2010) held recently in June 2010 awarded UNITEN's lecturer, Dr Rohayu Che Omar the Special Category Award - Best Innovator Cup for her invention entitled "Innovative Monitoring & Maintenance Rating System" (IMRS).

Asked to describe her project, Dr Rohayu said it was the outcome of a team effort. This project focuses on development of mobile PDA application designed especially for onsite data collection to cater needs of quick information transfer system by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) who owns major part of electrical supply chains in Malaysia. TNB has chains of transmission lines across jungles and ranges, rural town area and major parts of cities in Malaysia. Each year, number of cases including landslides, erosions and structural failure lead to huge lost in money, time and precious forest.

This system will enable a better data handling and processing during regular inspection interval thus optimizing time taken to rate and recommends immediate mitigation steps. With this automation in onsite survey system, recording critical data and alerting maintenance team could be done in real time and with minimal human error factors. This system is also linked to GIS software which enables a broader capability for landslide and factor of safety modelling and assessments of prone area.  

Earlier this year, Dr Rohayu was also awarded the Gold Medal at the Taiwan Invention Product Promotion Association (TIPPA) for similar invention.

Accommodation: Cendikiawan Apartment

Cendikiawan Apartment

Cendikiawan Apartment is one out of four students' apartments which is located in Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Putrajaya Campus. It is an all male apartment which consist of two eight-story buildings. Inside each house, there are four single bedrooms, two wash rooms and a spacious living hall.

Cendikiawan Apartment, also known as Cendi by many, is a comfortable place for students to live at. It has a very nice environment. It has facilities that satisfy students' needs such as laundry, water dispenser and also a 24-hour convenience store. There is also a huge parking space available for the students' vehicles.

Should students encounter any problems, they can always visit Cendi's Accommodation Office to make reports or complains. The officers are very friendly and helpful. However, they are only available during office hours.

Among the four students' apartments that are available in UNITEN, I would say Cendi has the most strategic location. Why? Cendi is located in between College of Information & Technology (COIT) and Dewan Seri Saujana (DSS). Students living in Cendi who have classes in COIT can just walk to COIT without having troubles to wait for shuttle bus. Cendi is just less than 5 minutes walking distance to COIT. The path that connects Cendi with COIT is covered by greenery so students need not to worry about the hot weather in Malaysia as there are shady trees along the path to COIT.

Besides COIT, Cendi is also near to DSS. It is only few steps away from DSS. At DSS, students can find facilities such as a gymnasium, badminton courts and a cafeteria. Behind DSS, there are tennis courts and a basketball court. While next to DSS, there is a huge swimming pool and a mini stadium.

To sum things up, if I were a male student, I would definitely choose Cendikiawan Apartment as it is located at a very strategic place inside UNITEN campus and has many facilities for my convenience.
