📜Review Article : ✍🏻Arulmalar Ramaraj #Examining the #Effectiveness of #Evaluating an #Open-#Ended #Task #ABSTRACT The process of edification is undergoing changes rapidly. ‘Undergraduate research’ is gaining momentum in the current context. In Asia, higher education institutions are grappling to meet the minimum standards of education, questioning research at the undergraduate level. Besides, teachers need the basic knowledge as well as an inquiring mind to foster ‘systematic investigation’ among the young minds. With an intention to instigate systematic investigation among the teachers so as to facilitate ‘undergraduate research’, a practicum focusing on ‘assessment’ was organized as part of a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) at Department of architecture at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, which was conducted in association with Council of Architecture – Training and Research centre. The practicum revolved around the evaluation of the emergent outcomes of an open-ended design task titled ‘grids...... 📰 Get full-length article here: https://lnkd.in/gvtBZzzV We do accept #PPTs and #Video Articles to be publish within our Journal.

INSIDE UNIVERSAL CITY WHERE PEOPLE ARE TRANSFORMED I was at the new campus of Bayero University Kano (my school as well) and I was reminiscing the days of my struggle in the university at FUTMinna I saw the students going in and coming out of the campus with hope and aspirations to win and succeed but no one knows what the tomorrow will hold. If I can turn the hands of clock to those days of our stay in the institution, I will build more of my networks across various departments. Imagine as a civil Engineering student, you can make atleast two friends in Quantity surveying department, architecture, urban and regional planning, in law, in Project management, in business administration, in communication, in accounting etc, you will graduate with a powerful network of resources to start and run a company with little or no amount. Imagine when you are in 100 or 200 level, you can have atleast one mentor in 500 Level in your department and across other departments, you will graduate with pool of mentors that will push and guide you to grow within the shortest possible time after your graduation . Imagine you can make friends with atleast 2 lectures in your department and across other departments, you will graduate with a cabal that can recommend you to places which you can’t navigate on your own. I understand why we never had the opportunity to build such powerful networks. The reason being that we are engrossed in our academic activities with all thinking integrated and channeled towards our success of making it out of the school. But if I can turn the hands of clock, I will equally channel the same energy to building such powerful networks. The university is indeed a Universal city that surround you with enough resources to transform and shape you into whoever you aspire to be in your life. The power of vision to see the enormous opportunities in the universal city while we are in the system is the difference that set most of us apart. I understand is never too late to turn back but I may be enjoying the benefits now if I could do it. The university environment is full of opportunities, you can tap from it at all time If you have the opportunity to turn the hand of clock, what could you do better when you are in University?

In 2022, when I embarked on my PhD journey in Civil Engineering, I could barely boast of 5 citations. I vividly remember the overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by senior colleagues who had already made significant academic strides in the department. However, rather than feeling discouraged, I took it upon myself as a challenge to develop in five key areas: 1) Growth of Academic Network: Upon reviewing the works of my colleagues, I realized that collaboration and multidisciplinary efforts were pivotal to their success. I consciously tried to step out of my comfort zone and extend a hand of fellowship to established scholars within my field. Dr. Priyanka Singh, for example, has been instrumental in our collaboration, resulting in over 30 citations in less than a year. Similarly, Engr. Dr. Vicky Kumar Lohana (Ph.D)'s foresight in research direction and publication strategy has been invaluable. The academic advice and mentorship I receive from Ts. Dr. Syed Ahmad Farhan 法韩 has helped to reshape my research skills. 2) Consistency: Recognising the importance of staying abreast of evolving discussions in my field, I embraced consistency in my academic pursuits. This trait, evident in many successful researchers I studied, became a cornerstone of my academic development initiative. 3) Acquisition of New Skills: Understanding my limitations as a civil engineering major, I pursued courses in Artificial Intelligence and Response Surface Modeling. These skills have significantly enhanced my ability to develop and analyze outputs from my experimental research, carving out a niche for my concepts. 4) The Right Academic Environment: Affiliations and academic environments are crucial in nurturing academic growth. My experience at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has been exceptionally productive, with both institutions fostering a culture that prioritises academic research. I earnestly hope Nigerian institutions can draw inspiration from the academic ethos prevalent in Malaysian institutions, fostering a platform for the cross-fertilization of ideas. 5) Faith in God: Faith remains an anchor amid all endeavours. Believing in the power of faith has guided me through moments of uncertainty and doubt. It's often the unseen hands and decisions of a few individuals that shape our career trajectories. Having faith in the journey and trusting in God has been instrumental in navigating through challenges. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this academic milestone. It is through your support and encouragement that I have been able to achieve this feat.

Exciting News! 📢📢 I am delighted to announce the publication of our latest review paper titled, "Enhancing Construction Performance: A Critical Review of Performance Measurement Practices at the Project Level" in Buildings MDPI (𝐐𝟏 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐬 - 𝐐𝟐 𝐖𝐎𝐒 - 𝐈𝐅 𝟑.1). The study offers a thorough overview of various aspects of project performance. In addition to the traditional dimensions of the project management triangle (cost, time, and quality performance), the study emphasises the importance of considering other dimensions. These include stakeholder performance, safety performance, technology utilisation performance, value performance, environmental impact performance, and the application of maturity models. By incorporating these additional KPIs, a more comprehensive and holistic evaluation of project performance can be achieved. I am immensely grateful to my esteemed PhD supervisors, Professor Tarek Zayed, and Professor Zoubeir LAFHAJ, for their guidance and support during the writing of this paper. Their expertise and assistance have been invaluable.

I'm excited to share my inaugural capstone project, which took place in 2021 during my Grade 10 year. At that time, Egypt was grappling with a water crisis due to the construction of the Al-Nahda dam by Ethiopia. In response, my team and I brainstormed potential solutions, with a primary focus on water collection. The initial conceptualizations involved square, rectangle, and triangle shapes, but we ultimately opted for a trapezoidal design. The trapezoidal shape, though unconventional, proved to be strategically advantageous as it offered a substantial base for efficient water collection. While specific dimensions elude me after three years, the project aimed to address the pressing water scarcity issue. Feel free to draw inspiration from this idea, but I encourage you to adapt and innovate rather than replicate it verbatim. 🌐💡 #CapstoneProject #STEM #STEM_Schools #team_work #research #EDP #development #Engieering_Design_process #Egypt_Grand_Challanges #sustainability #stemeducation #STEM_Community #Prior_Solutions #prototype #poster #portfolio #cap #science #ideas #WaterCrisisSolution #Innovation #ProblemSolving

Why is a Multidisciplinary Research Center Essential for the University of Moratuwa? 💡 The University of Moratuwa is Sri Lanka's leading institution for engineering higher education and has fostered a remarkable environment for innovation. The university boasts ten engineering departments, and faculty research primarily focuses on final-year undergraduate research projects within their respective departments. While some of these projects exhibit a multidisciplinary nature, there is a scarcity of truly interdisciplinary research activities at the university. For instance, a research project aimed at developing high-performance fiber composite structures could greatly benefit from collaboration between students and faculty in Material Sciences, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. A joint supervisory board would ensure a comprehensive approach for a significant research outcome. By establishing a multidisciplinary research center and employing a competitive selection process to recruit students across departments, the University of Moratuwa can foster more advanced research outputs and significantly accelerate the pace of innovation. Thoughts on this?
