Cisco, MDeC and University of Malaya Collaborate on SME-Focused Training Program

Cisco today announced a collaboration with the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) to develop the Cisco® Industrial Training Programme (CiTP). The parties, together with the University of Malaya, hope to establish a unique undergraduate internship programme to identify and train skilled information and communications technology (ICT) networking specialists for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

CiTP will offer on-the-job training opportunities for computer science undergraduate students at the University of Malaya. The interns will be selected from a group of students currently undergoing the Cisco CCNA® curriculum with an excellent academic record. Cisco will prepare the interns through an intensive two-week training programme where they will learn business soft skills to complement their technical knowledge. At the end of this training, students will be assigned to an SME in the MSC Malaysia (formerly known as the Multimedia Super Corridor) to manage and maintain the company's ICT and networking environment for six months. These participating SMEs would be appointed by MDeC.

"Cisco has consistently contributed to the development of skilled ICT networking specialists in Malaysia through the Cisco Networking Academy® programme. CiTP is yet another important initiative centred on a holistic model that delivers true value for students and SMEs," said Anne Abraham, managing director of Cisco Malaysia.

SMEs constitute more than 90 percent of businesses and employ some 65 percent of the total workforce in Malaysia. This market segment is also expected to contribute 37 percent to Malaysia's gross domestic income by end of this year, making them significant to local economic growth.¹ SMEs are always on the lookout for technologies that enable them to focus on business priorities, increase productivity for their business.

"CiTP provides SMEs with the opportunity to realize and reap the benefits of having qualified networking interns and the right talent managing the organisations' network, systems and business. The interns, on the other hand, will be exposed to and work on resolving real situations in a live work environment, often regarded as unique in IT requirements and challenges. The programme would certainly accelerate their learning curve and experience, and eventually cultivate a higher-quality talent pool for the ICT workforce," added Abraham.

As networks continue to transform the way people connect, communicate and collaborate, industry leaders are looking for more innovative ways to cultivate a workforce that can meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in this area. Currently, there are 18,000 ICT employees who are skilled in networking and security. The demand is expected to increase by 14 percent annually over the next three years. In addition, 64 percent of employees prefer to hire engineers that have Cisco certifications in networking and security.²

"The country's talent pool in the networking field is critical to the growth of MSC Malaysia and the overall ICT industry. CiTP is in line with our continuous efforts to develop and nurture a highly skilled workforce, as well as extending our role in accelerating ICT adoption among local SMEs. It tightly matches the needs of both SMEs and our workforce, which represent two key priorities that serve as a catalyst to elevate Malaysia towards a high-income economy," said Muhammad Imran Kunalan Abdullah, general manager, K-Workers Development Department, MDeC Malaysia.

The programme, currently in its pilot phase, will kick off with a total target of
50 selected undergraduates from the faculty to be assigned to designated SMEs. The preliminary training prior to the placement will begin in June, when experts will coach the interns in applicable and useful strategies, technologies, solutions and soft skills for the SME business environment.

"We are excited that our students are the first beneficiaries of CiTP. This is a good example of a public-private initiative that redefines existing education models to bridge the skills gap in Malaysia. Internships have evolved into essential pre-requisites before entering the work-force and students are assessed on the value they bring to organisations. Programs like CiTP boost students' confidence and give them a head-start when starting their professional careers," said Prof Dr Wan Ahmad Tajuddin bin Wan Abdullah, Dean, Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Science, University of Malaya.

"While we are setting the standard for a rounded internship programme, and the success of CiTP will determine the scale of implementation moving forward. Eventually, our ambition is to take it further, widen the opportunity, and establish it as an ideal model not only for our peers in the ICT sector, but also across industries in the market," Abraham said.

UM to host Informatics '09

THE Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Malaya will host the International Conference on Informatics and Technology (Informatics 2009) on Oct 27- 28.
The event, in collaboration with the Malaysian National Computer Confederation, will highlight the latest issues in the research and development of information and communications technology (ICT) in relation to Green ICT.
Faculty dean Dr David Ngo says with the theme ICT Opportunities in the Current Global Recession, the conference seeks to highlight new opportunities for using informatics and technologies to solve problems in the current economic environment.
"Organisations, businesses and governments have been thrust into unprecedented challenges with the recession.
"However, challenges have a flip side as they also bring opportunities for those who can creatively apply innovative solutions to survive these uncertain times, including educational technology to tackle high dropout rate and security technology to solve high crime rate.
"This is termed as Soft Green Technology -- which aims to reduce wastage and improve productivity for ICT."

UTM spent RM500,000 to fight virus attacks

The war against computer viruses does not come cheap. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has spent close to RM500,000 on cyber security protection.
The university also conducted a month long campaign on anti-virus awareness among its administration staff in April.
UTM Centre for ICT director Prof Zamri Mohamad said the campaign included the installation of hardware and software protection as well as updating the operating systems (OS).
“We also arranged for talks on healthy ICT lifestyle for our staff so that they realise it may not be safe to visit sites that are not secure,” he said, adding that the university currently had 10 servers alone for anti-virus protection which were updated daily.
The Star had reported on Thursday that the university had been facing a spate of virus attacks that targeted around 6,000 computers belonging to both the university and students.
Prof Zamri said the university also conducted demonstrations on how computers should be maintained and created a website, www.antivirus.utm.my, through the intranet system.
Students with their own personal computers have also been encouraged to obtain the anti-virus protection from the university free of charge.
UTM was also looking towards moving its entire software system from Windows to Open Source as there were fewer viruses created for it.
Prof Zamri said that with viruses and hackers getting increasingly sophisticated, the idea of owning a computer was not the same as owning a radio.
“It is more like owning a car as you need to learn how to operate it. You also need to constantly service and upgrade it,” he said.
According to him, UTM was considering the possibility of making its students and staff obtain a “licence” before they are allowed to use the computers on campus.

OUM Making Waves in India

A keynote address by OUM President and Vice-Chancellor Tan Sri Anuwar Ali has made it to the front page of The Hindu.

OUM President and Vice-Chancellor Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Anuwar Ali has urged developing countries to promote higher education through open and distance learning (ODL) to ensure that their people have equitable access to education and can thus better contribute to national economic development and enhanced social status.

In an exclusive interview with The Hindu, the English language daily with the second largest circulation in India, Tan Sri Anuwar said higher education is particularly relevant for Asian countries and should not be considered "elitist and restrictive".

"The growth of ODL in countries like India, China and Malaysia has been highly encouraging but the real challenge is ensuring it remains relevant and responsive to changing trends," said Tan Sri Anuwar, who attended the international workshop together with Prof Dr Shaari Abd Hamid, Deputy Vice President of the Institute for Teaching and Learning Advancement. The workshop was held at the Vardhaman Mahaveer Open University (VMOU) in Kota, Rajasthan, recently.

In his keynote address entitled "Challenges before ODL: Global Perspective", Tan Sri Anuwar said ODL plays a significant role in transforming higher education from an elite privilege to a "democratised opportunity" in Asian countries.

Institutions offering distance education has made it possible for people from varied backgrounds, including those from marginalised groups, senior citizens, working adults and the physically disadvantaged, to partake in higher education and obtain degrees.

Tan Sri Anuwar also said that OUM is willing to collaborate with VMOU to improve the quality of education and make higher education more accessible. "Although student exchange may not be feasible at this stage, both institutions can work together in the area of educational technology."

Acknowledging that India has one of the best established ODL networks in Asia, he said ODL has much to gain from innovations such as the use of web applications, social networking, mobile technologies and open educational resources.

However, issues such as the digital divide and cultural identities could impede the true potential of ODL growth delivery in the less developed regions. The use of ubiquitous technology and its impact on cultural identities remain issues yet to be resolved, while the problem of digital divide still pervades poor countries.

Tan Sri Anuwar emphasised that universities in Asian countries must create the means for their populace, regardless of gender, creed or socio-economic background, to obtain higher education. "ODL institutions must combine flexibility, quality, affordability and accessibility to attract people for further study."

He cited the example of the Commonwealth of Learning for having successfully brought together open universities in the Commonwealth to develop and share ODL knowledge, resources and technology with a focus on helping poor countries over the past two decades.

Masterskill holds healthcare campaign

KUCHING: Masterskill University College of Health Sciences (MUCH) recently conducted a healthcare screening campaign and education exhibition at SMK St Teresa.
The event — held together with associate institution Masterskill College Kuching Metro Campus — aimed to create awareness among school staff and students on the importance of regular health check-ups.
It was jointly organised by the school’s cooperative and Malaysian Red Crescent.
SMK St Teresa teacher Marjoyln Michael said in a press statement that it was the first time such an event was organised in the school.
She explained that SMK St Teresa selected Masterskill to be part of the event as the college specialises in teaching and promoting health sciences.
“I am sure with Masterskill’s expertise and as a leader in this field, our students will benefit from such an educational event. It also provides an opportunity to give exposure to our Form 5 students on the next step of higher education after their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM),” she said.
Kuching Metro Campus clinical instructor Diana Hui pointed out that many teenagers consume too much fast-food, high-calorie beverages and have a sedentary lifestyle, which could lead to obesity and chronic illnesses later in life.
“Therefore, healthcare screening like this will educate the secondary school students on the importance of prevention rather than cure. Today’s youngsters now are different from those times where students enjoyed outdoor activities and required more intense physical movements,” she said.
Students were fascinated by the nasogastric tube demonstration and anatomy explanation.
“To add in to the excitement of health sciences demonstration, a life-sized human mannequin was brought along by lecturers and clinical instructions from the college.
Other teaching aids including anatomical teaching model, plastic human arm muscle model, were being displayed.
“A large group of students gathered around the mannequin where a clinical instructor (CI) from Masterskill conducted demonstrations on nasogastric tube artificial feeding procedure. CI explained the usage of nasogastric tube for patients who cannot eat orally via the mouth and had to be fed through the tube,” said a statement.
In addition, Masterskill’s physiotherapy students shared their knowledge on the anatomy of the arm using an artificial human arm model, showing tendons, nerves, blood vessels and humerus; while medical lab technology students conducted health screenings.
The event also provided the college an avenue to promote health sciences programmes offered such as medical lab technology (MLT), environmental health, physiotherapy, healthcare (management) and pharmacy.
On top of that, the college has an Employment Placement Unit (EPU) to assist graduates and graduating students to secure employment locally and abroad.
“Studying at Masterskill can be advantageous. In addition to the well-rounded co-curricular exposures, the university college with six branches nationwide also has more than 450 local and international clinical placement sites to provide students a good platform to hone their practical skills,” said a statement.
Masterskill College Kuching Metro Campus is now open for the July 2011 intake registration.
The institution will hold a walk-in interview today (July 7) at the Dalat District Office and Kota Samarahan Civic Centre, tomorrow (July 8) at Kingwood Hotel, Mukah and Serian Dewan Masyarakat, Saturday (July 9) at Boulevard Shopping Mall in Kuching, Sunday (July 10) at Meligai Hotel in Kapit and e-Mart Supermarket in Matang, Tuesday (July 12) at RH Hotel in Sibu and Hoover Hotel in Sri Aman and Wednesday (July 13) at Ming Kiong Hotel in Bintangor and Wawasan Inn in Sarikei.

Producing qualified graduates with first class facilities

Providing a world class education has always been the prime objective of the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College (KLMUC). This can be measured by its almost 100% student employment rate upon graduation.

At KLMU, students are not only exposed to theories but are trained to balance practical aspects with relevant experiences based on a real work environment. To ensure that all students understand the subject they study, each classroom setting is focused on developing a clear and comprehensible presentation of the subject matter. Furthermore, students are assessed through a continual evaluation process that is based on learning outcomes.

The lecturers play a vital role in the student’s learning processes via the mentor-mentee programme that fosters a positive influence during the course. Classes are intentionally small to ensure all students receive adequate guidance while their confidence is being nurtured.

KLMU has invested millions on various modern facilities, including an auditorium, a computer laboratory with broadband connection, art studio, cyberzones, conferences, gymnasium, cafeteria, student activity lounge, hospital simulation ward, health science laboratory, and a fully equipped hospitality facility.

MMU eyes future in nanotechnology

SCOUTING for a degree programme after leaving school may be a daunting experience for most school leavers.
There are many considerations that need weighing, including the growth potential of the industry chosen and cost of the programme pursued as decisions made can make or break one's career path in events of economic downturn or business uncertainties.
But there is one industry that is on the rise in Malaysia. It is none other than nanotechnology. School leavers or any candidates considering engineering programme can the nanotechnology alternative.
Although the field is still in its infancy, there is growing interest and expenditure in it.
Multimedia University (MMU) vice-president of academic, Associate Professor Wong Eng Kiong says: "We are seeing a slow but steady increase in enrolment in our nanotechnology programme because of the government's emphasis under the 9th Malaysia Plan."
Under 9MP, RM124.3 million has been allocated for the nanotechnology industry. The inauguration of the Malaysia Nanotechnology Association (MNA), governmental support for nanotechnology is at an all-time high as the technology can revolutionise the entire manufacturing industry.
One way this is achieved is by generating new types of nanomaterials, applicable in the metal, chemical and nanoelectronics industries. Other industries that can benefit are automotive, pharmaceuticals and health sciences, as well as information technology.

From Classroom to Satellite Control Room: INTI Students’ Learning Experience at MEASAT

“Push the wrong button on the control panel and the whole satellite could tumble and go out of control,” said satellite expert En. Azih Md. Zin. “The slightest human error could spell disaster.”
The high level of commitment as well as intense concentration and alertness required of engineers in monitoring telemetry data from a satellite was made clear to INTI International University (INTI IU) students who were on a learning visit to the MEASAT Teleport and Broadcast Centre in Cyberjaya.

The learning environment goes beyond the four walls of a classroom for INTI students.
The students were part of the Advanced Mobile and Satellite Communications class under the University of Bradford franchise programme offered by INTI IU’s Faculty of Engineering and IT. The visitors included exchange students from École Centrale d’Electronique (ECE), Paris, studying at INTI IU under INTI’s Study Abroad Programme (SAP).
En. Azih, Head of Satellite Engineering and Operations at MEASAT, went on to explain that over 20% of satellite failures in orbit are due to design error and failure to anticipate every aspect of the harsh environment in space.
“Building a satellite is not simple and many factors need to be taken into consideration, especially its weight and durability in a hostile environment,” he said, drawing upon his over 10 years of experience as a satellite designer and operator.
Apart from learning about Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites, the students had a glimpse into the working life and environment of a satellite engineer who typically works 12-hour shifts per day for three days in a week. They toured the satellite control room, network management room (with its array of flat screen TVs tuned to multiple channels), and antenna farm with 16 antennas linking the ground control centre with satellites in orbit.
Like his fellow students taking part in the eye-opening tour, Gilbert Gan found the experience fascinating.
“I never imagined that handling a satellite is far more complex than handling an aircraft!” he enthused. “It’s a great challenge and something that I might consider for a career.”
Sonia Lahcene, an exchange student from France, was surprised to learn about Malaysia’s advancement in satellite technology, saying that she will definitely share her experience with friends back in France.
“It’s good that MEASAT provided us this rare opportunity to visit their facilities,” said Kwong Chiew Foong, a faculty member who accompanied the students on the trip. “This is part of INTI’s initiative to bring industry into the classroom – to help our students develop insights into exciting careers and gain confidence through real life experiences.”
INTI’s programmes are developed and constantly fine tuned to cater towards the needs of employers and the industry. Students are constantly in touch with their potential employers, through visits to their work places, workshops, internships, and projects that provide them with real world work experience.
Students of INTI benefit not only from its 25 years of experience and strong track-record, but also gain from the global synergy and resources that Laureate International Universities provides. INTI is part of Laureate, the world’s largest private education network with a presence in 28 countries, with more than 60 accredited universities and 130 campuses, serving more than 650,000 students globally.

On 2nd April 2011, MMU swept the top stops at the 6th Cisco Malaysia Networking Skills Competition, also known as the Malaysia Netriders 2011. The university sent 15 representatives to Kolej TAR in Setapak to compete against more than 200 other contestants and walked away with 5 awards!

The awards bagged were: Best Academy Award (MMU Cyberjaya), Individual Champion (Chang Eng Siang), Individual 3rd Place (Shum E Han), Individual 4th Place (Lim Kian Shuen), and Individual 7th Place (Ong Juin Hau).

Malaysia Netriders 2011 drew hundreds of competitors and observers from universities, colleges and polytechnics, both public and private, from all over Malaysia. These included UM, UiTM, UTM, UMP, UniKL, UTAR, and KTAR.

The champion, Chang Eng Siang, will proceed to the Cisco Asia Pacific Networking Skills Competition to compete against participants from 14 – 16 countries in the Asia Pacific region this October.

The competition included two segments, Networking Theory (MCQs) and Networking Skills. The latter was tested using Packet Tracer, a Cisco simulation software.

Also in attendance at the competition were officials from the Ministry of Human Resource (MOHR) who were seeking candidates to compete in the Worldskills Competition (Skills Olympics) this October in London. Together with Shum E Han, Chang has been invited by the MOHR officials to the Worldskills selection on 18th and 19th April at CIAST, Shah Alam.

Since 2006, MMU has emerged champions in this competition 5 times. Cyberjaya Campus won 4 times, while Melaka Campus won it once.

A high-definition view of the nanoworld

Technology is aiding an exciting new collaboration between Monash University and the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa).
With the installation of high definition video-conferencing equipment at the Technion, similar to existing equipment at Monash, both universities are looking forward to closer research ties in the future.
Professor David Abramson, Science Director of the Monash e-Research Centre, said that the new technology will greatly support ongoing collaboration between researchers at Technion’s Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management and the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University.
“These initiatives mark a new point of presence for Monash University in Israel, and this seminar is just the first of many,” Professor Abramson said.
“Researchers from opposite sides of the world can now collaborate more effectively through these interactive seminars.
“Monash University is very grateful to the Victorian Friends of the Technion for providing financial support; and Professor Boaz Golani, Dean of the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management, Professor Dov Dori, Head of the Enterprise System Modeling Laboratory, and Professor Wayne Kaplan, Head of the Department of Materials Engineering, at the Technion for helping to bring both institutions together for this cutting-edge research,” Professor Abramson said.
In the first interactive tele-seminar linking the two universities, Professor Eugene Rabkin, from the Technion reported on his high-precision experimental studies on the physical and mechanical properties of gold nanoparticles.
Professor Rabkin’s findings will help Monash researchers in their work with the mechanical and physical properties of materials.
Professor Yuri Estrin who leads the Monash University’s Centre for Advanced Hybrid Materials said researchers at Monash are currently developing nanomaterials to enhance mechanical strength and biocompatibility of medical implants and the size and effects on strength discussed by Professor Rabkin is critical to these applications.

More seminars on a range of topics of mutual interest to both universities are planned over the coming months.

Also supported by the new Technion-Monash tele-seminars - which build on Monash’s tele-seminar links with the University of Warwick in the UK, the University of California, San Diego and the University of Illinois - is the exciting Monash Undergraduate Research Projects Abroad project – an eScience research internship program for high achieving third year undergraduates at Monash University.

“We are hoping to send students not only to the US this year, but also, Israel. The world just keeps getting smaller,” Professor Abramson said.

AIMST shines with ICT

THE presence of information and communications technology in banking and commerce, marketing, health-care services, communications, entertainment, transportation, natural resources management, waste management, robotics and manufacturing and space exploration.

A time will come when ICT will be as common as water and electricity.

There are many key areas in this field and software development is one of them.

It includes the development of intelligent software products such as agent-based systems, expert systems, search engines, malicious code detection tools, medical diagnostics tools and credit granting and loan-analysis tools.

Another area in which ICT is developing rapidly is the wireless and mobile communications technology.

The research and development activities in the third- generation (3G) mobile network communications has had support from the telecommunication industries.

Japan, however, is carrying out research activities in fourth- generation (4G) mobile communications technology.

With the deployment of the 3G network technology, mobile communications service subscribers can do amazing things that have never been imagined by them before.

In the future, more advanced communication techniques such as multimedia video conferencing can be applied using mobile phones or watches.

In addition to this, the new Internet protocol, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), which has a vast addressing capability, will change the way people handle or use items.

One scenario of the use of IPv6 in the household would be like this: A refrigerator which uses an IPv6 address will check the quantity of items stored in it and, if there is a shortage, it will SMS the owner or places an order.

A career path in ICT gives one a chance to explore and apply new ideas and techniques in his life.

Hence, pursuing a degree in ICT is something that can equip oneself with theoretical knowledge and practical skills demanded by industries today.

AIMST's degree programmes in Computer Science and Information Technology meet the challenges in ICT.

A three-year degree programme in Computer Science with a specialisation either in software engineering, networking or multimedia is mixed with engineering to produce graduates who can meet the industrial requirements.
