Abstract

Malaysia is one of the signatories member of the Washington Accord as well as the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) in the country. The change to an Outcome-Based Learning (OBE) is an entitle transformation mode where students are educated, assessed and graduated. Even though the EAC's 1999 issued guidebook listed 12 graduate attributes, but yet less effort to ensure engineering education appreciate and implement it. In 2000, the Malaysian Engineering Education Model also precede for engineer ing education to adopt OBE but the spirit of MEEM was not entirely comprehended and there was no force to obey to the recommendations. Since 2004, Malaysia Higher Education Ministry has adopted the OBE to emerge with few engineering education providers leading the way. Although many educational institutes have prefer in implementing OBE curriculum to deliver Engineering Education, but yet challenging and tedious tasks to implement it successfully. Hence, the aim of this study is to scrutinize a variety of challenges encountered by instructors in implementing the OBE in conveying technica l subjects in tertiary university. A preliminary test of OBE is conducted in this study. Data are collected from 13 instructors from private university through questionnaire survey as well as interviews. Data collected are analysed and exploiting both descriptive statistic s and statistical tests to delineate the primary challenges. Consequently, the novelty findings established significantly in OBE implementation especially these vital facts should be right direction and aid to unlock frontiers for preparing instructors in facing future challenges which impeded the effective implementation of OBE curriculum in teaching and learning in tertiary university.

Abstract

Malaysia is one of the major producer countries for fishery production due to its location in the equatorial environment. Grouper fish is one of the potential markets in contributing to the income of the country due to its desirable taste, high demand and high price. However, the demand of grouper fish is still insufficient from the wild catch. Therefore, there is a need to farm grouper fish to cater to the market demand. In order to farm grouper fish, there is a need to have prior knowledge of the proper nutrients needed because there is no exact data available. Therefore, in this study, primary data and secondary data are collected even though there is a limitation of related papers and 30 samples are investigated by using standard deviation selection in Evolutionary algorithm. Thus, this study would unlock frontiers for an extensive research in respect of grouper fish feed formulation. Results shown that the fitness of standard deviation selection in evolutionary algorithm is applicable. The feasible and low fitness, quick solution can be obtained. These fitness can be further predicted to minimize cost in farming grouper fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The problem of sports tournament scheduling at a university sports event was the case being studied due to the inefficiency of previous schedules and the dissatisfaction from the sports players. Supports from the literature have provided strong ground for the exploitation of constraint-based programming and neighborhood search as the approach to solve the problem. In constructing the improved tournament schedules, various criteria, regulations and policies need to be taken into consideration. The result from this promising approach is able to assist the coach or the sports events management through efficient schedules and thus, minimizing the dissatisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
