Seminar on Nanotechnology

Creating a Research Culture

Author: Christos CHRISTOPOULOS, Department of Electrical and Electrical Engineering, University Nottingham, UK

1. Show that you care about research-it should not be be the last thing on your list ("After I have done my teaching and administration if there is spare time I will do some research"!!). Sabbatical if you can afford them.
2. Set aside good quality time for research-long uninterrupted periods to focus something...
3. Identify key people of ability and enthusiasm and ask them to be champions in encouraging and involving others.
4. Encourage and reward others for trying hard not only for succeeding
5. Organise regular research seminars and encourage staff and students to attend. These should be by external speaker and also internal candidates who are working on a research project.
6. You need infrastructure to get research done and this means funds! Identify key equipment and try to get them. Avoid buying expensive equipment just to say that your have them when in fact you have no idea what to do with them. You will always be short of research funds.
7. In order to do research you must get involved in work. You cannot sit and wait for a bright idea to come! Get involved in some activity, study the relevant literature on the subject, attend a conference and try to identify gaps in knowledge where you feel you could contribute.
8. Try to highlight to your Department the importance you attach to research by: organizing a research poster day once a year; publicizing possible sources of funding o industrial contacts who may be interested in sponsoring work; holding research seminars; producing a brief research report highlighting current research work which is circulated to all staff.
   
9. It takes time to build up a research culture and a critical mass for research. So be patient and show long term commitment.
10. Some people are natural researchers... try to give them more time for research by limiting other tasks. This has to be done with sensitivity! It is almost resented by other staff. But you need to nurture research activity and you need to explain why this is done.

Philosophy/Theory

Dear Students and readers;

I have observed on how we learn and be a better person. I found out that a theory or philosophy, a strong one, will lead us to success. Such philosophy, perfectionist, is a powerfull philosophy to be followed. Another one, is to be an expert, we need to be able to manipulate.....sometime, become oportunist.

As an example, if we are to train to use a machine, till we are able to modify it or make something out of it, or manipulate it or incorporated it with other accessories, than we can't be the expert. A good machinist, will be able to manipulate,....so does a good leader. A good supervisor.....will be able to manipulate his students. Therefore, maybe you think this is a crazy ideas......try it. Let do some observation.

If our group one to be an expert in this nano thing, I want to see how you could manage to use this group to influence people, manipulate people to get

muceet 2009

Malaysian Technical Universities Conference on Engineering and Technology(MUCEET 2009)

Date : 20th-22nd June 2oo9
Location : M.S Garden Hotel,Kuantan
Author : Arifagam's team

Bismilahirrahmannirahim....

We would like to congratulate the UMP for or organizing the MUCEET 2009 and also like to congratulate the UTHM team's for winning 2 awards. The purpose of this conference is to share the research and its latest outcome among the acedemicians and to enhance collaboration on industrial requirements.

The event's theme for this year is 'Commercialization & Enterprise'. Indeed it conveys a very meaningful message. Foremost, it underscores our commitment to go down a path less travelled by many universities especially in Malaysia, i.e to pursue the commercialization of research outputs and value creation.

While Malaysia has been as one of the developing countries in the world, where opportunities for bilateral as well as multilateral relationships with industries are abundant, the potentials for such collaborations has not been fully developed or even explored. Therefore, this event can be be good platform for us to reiterate our commitment to link with the industry and reassess our capabilities those that fulfill industry requirements in engineering and technology in order to enhance collaboration with the industry. That our efforts today can uplift our four universities capacities.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants for taking time to present their papers as well products.

Message from Vice-Chancellor UTHM ~ Prof. Dato' Dr. Mohd Noh Dalimin

As the Vice-Chancellor, I'm very proud and pleased with the way the comittee organises this conference. MUCEET 2009 is proof that the young and rather new Malaysian Technical Universities are capable of and committed to realising the Ministry of Higher Education's Universities aspiration and moto- "Leading Knowledge Excellence".
