| UCSI University Inks Milestone MoU with CADD Centre |
| July 2012 |
Kuala Lumpur - UCSI University's Engineering students may now obtain training and certification in commercial software by paying a fraction of the market price. This comes after the University signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with CADD Centre – Asia's largest training and certification provider for commercial software – to provide students with value-added training before they graduate. Under the MoU, the training will be conducted in-house and staff of UCSI University's Engineering Faculty may obtain the same training for free. Hailing the landmark deal, UCSI University deputy vice-chancellor (Academic Affairs and Research) Prof Emeritus Dr Lim Koon Ong said that the MoU was significant milestone in the University's long track record of industry-academia collaboration. "CADD has a strong presence in 16 countries and a trained CADD engineer walks out of one of the brand's 326 centres worldwide every six minutes," he said in his speech. "With this MoU, UCSI University students will be able to keep abreast of the latest industrial developments with constant exposure to the latest software. They will also be able to obtain training in software like Mathlab and Solidworks before they graduate." Prof Lim added that the two-way engagement with CADD would improve the University's curriculum, enhancing its strong standing as a university of choice for employers and strengthening its commitment to the Professional Board. Rohini Alagappar – Centre Head of CADD Malaysia – also lauded the move, saying that both parties were on the same page in their pursuit of excellence. "UCSI University has a tradition of placing strong emphasis on knowledge while CADD is renowned for skill training," she said in her speech. "Today's partnership creates synergy between the two organisations and we are happy to provide students with additional knowledge and value-added skills to complement what they learn at university." Adding that CADD's training and learning materials were meticulously prepared and printed after rigorous testing in the industry, Rohini extended an invite to UCSI University staff to visit CADD's headquarters in India. Assoc Prof Eng Dr Jimmy Mok, the dean of UCSI University's Engineering Faculty, was also present at the MoU signing ceremony. |
| UCSI academic bags IET Young Woman Engineer Award 2012 |
| 21 July 2012 |
Kuala Lumpur, 21 July, 2012 - It was another significant milestone for UCSI University when Dr CEng Rozita Teymourzadeh edged out three other shortlisted candidates to clinch the Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award 2012 at the recent Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) – Young Professionals Section (YPS) Annual Dinner. Conferred to successful female engineers who made positive contributions to the industry, the award effectively sets its winners apart as role models to aspiring female engineers. Dr Rozita, Chairman of the Faculty of Teaching and Learning and IDP Programme Coordinator under the University's Faculty of Engineering, Technology & Built Environment, received a certificate and plaque from IET UK for her feat. She will participate in numerous campaigns such as media interviews, school talks and career conventions, among others. As one of the selected candidates, Dr Rozita was interviewed by an adjudication panel comprising three key industry practitioners, namely, Ir Khalidah Haron, Managing Director of TNB Integrated Learning Solution (ILSAS), Alan Foley, Vice Chairman of IET Malaysia and Dr Edwin Tan, Head of Research at Monash University. Prior to working in Malaysia, Dr Rozita was a design engineer for ABB, a global leader in power and automation technologies, and she was involved in the tender process for a high voltage substation project – a project financially backed by the Government. Dr Rozita said that she learned a lot about the plug and switch system (PASS) and switchgears from the project and the knowledge benefited her professionally and personally. "It was a very tough challenge back then as engineering is a male-dominated industry," she said. "However, I taught myself to continually persevere despite setbacks and disappointments." On the local front, Dr Rozita has cooperated with MIMOS Berhad and Silterra on a digital signal processing system, a processor for electronic devices. Dr Rozita also opined that all published research should be distributed widely to reach a global audience to maximise its potential. She strongly emphasised the importance of knowledge sharing and that there were many free tools available for this purpose. Presently, Dr Rozita is a Chartered Engineer recognised by the Engineering Council of United Kingdom, and is a member of Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IET. Apart from the Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award 2012, three undergraduate students – namely, Ang Ming Joo, Low Chern Yee and Tan Ying Hua – did the Faculty proud when each was also awarded with the IET Student Chapter Leadership Award. FETBE Senior Lecturer Engr Rodney Tan Hean Gay, among other prominent IET committee members, was also present at the dinner. |
