Anbar University Lecturers Join Nanomaterial Technology Short Course
Institute of Nano Electronic Engineering (INEE) has organized a short course for nine lecturers from the University of Anbar, Iraq in the field of nanomaterial technology on 15 to 25 October 2012 ago.

Whole course took about nine days, where the theory held in the morning, while the practical side of the lab INEE held in the afternoon. In theory, the participant was revealed in all aspects of nanomaterial technology that covers the mathematical model, the basic theory of materials, materials synthesis, physical and electrical characterization methods. Facility design basis for clean rooms and other critical facility in the field of nanotechnology fabrication is also presented.

In the practical aspect, participants exposed to the fabrication technology of nano as photolithography, etching, oxidation, metallization and the like.

Overall, participants very satisfied with the course conducted and admitted that many things have been learned. They also praised the progress that has been achieved by UniMAP in particular, and Malaysia in general.

INEE are expected to hold the same course to the second group of Anbar University in November 2012.

INEE UniMAP kongsi kepakaran dengan MARDI

August 15, 2012 By Editor

INEE dan MARDI — Antara peserta MARDI yang menyertai Bengkel Teori dan Amali Rekabentuk dan Pembuatan Cip Nano untuk Penderia Makanan.

Institut Kejuruteraan Nano Elektronik (INEE) Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) menjalin kerjasama kepakaran dengan Institut Penyelidikan dan Kemajuan Pertanian Malaysia (MARDI) bagi menjalankan beberapa bidang penyelidikan.

Berikutan itu, UniMAP secara berasingan baru-baru ini menerima dua kumpulan penyelidik dari institut tersebut bagi menyertai Bengkel Teori dan Amali Rekabentuk dan Pembuatan Cip Nano untuk Penderia Makanan.

Menurut Pengarah INEE, Prof. Dr. Uda Hashim, bengkel tersebut disertai sembilan pegawai MARDI yang didedahkan menerusi pemahaman, kemahiran teknikal dan amali berkaitan rekabentuk dan pembuatan nano cip untuk penderia E. Coli, salmonella dan arsenic.

“Para peserta diajar secara praktikal untuk mengendali sendiri peralatan dan perkakas untuk mereka bentuk, pembuatan, pencirian, pengukuran dan validasi penderia,” katanya.

Selain itu, bengkel tersebut membantu penyelidik MARDI menyiapkan projek penyelidikan mereka yang bertajuk Development of Nano-photonic sensor for detection of microbes and toxin in foods yang berfokuskan pada bidang kemahiran nano teknologi.

Bengkel tersebut masing-masing mengambil masa lima dan empat hari untuk memberikan pendedahan, pemahaman dan kemahiran teknikal secara teori dan praktikal khusus kepada para penyelidik dari MARDI.

Ketua Projek penyelidikan tersebut, Ahmad Sudin, 56, memberitahu, bengkel yang dilaksanakan itu telah pun mencapai objektif yang disasarkan oleh pihaknya.

Katanya, dengan bantuan INEE, projek yang dilaksanakan mereka mampu dilaksanakan.

Mengenai peralatan yang digunapakai oleh UniMAP, katanya, ia adalah lengkap dan menepati piawaian yang ditetapkan oleh pihak MARDI.

“Peralatan INEE UniMAP lengkap dan penjelasan yang diberikan oleh pihak INEE berkaitan pembuatan Nano cip telah memberikan pemahaman mendalam kepada kumpulan penyelidik kami,” katanya.

Beliau juga melahirkan hasrat untuk mengadakan hubungan jangka panjang bersama-sama UniMAP dalam memantapkan penyelidikan yang menggunakan nano teknologi yang kini sedang diberikan keutamaan oleh negara.

UniMAP Forges Partnerships With Saudi Arabian Universities

May 30, 2012 By Editor

Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) has forged strategic cooperation with three universities in Saudi Arabia to empower the fields of nanotechnology, biomedicine and microelectronic engineering.

The signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Buraydah College was held at a ceremony, two days ago, at the institution which is located in Buraydah, the administrative city of the Al Qassim province.

UniMAP was represented by Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kamarudin Hussin while Buraydah College was represented by Chancellor, Dr Abdullah Al Shetaiwi, at the signing.

The event was witnessed by Malaysian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Datuk Syed Omar Al Shagoff, and UniMAP board of directors chairman Tan Sri Dr Zainul Ariff Hussain.

Dr Kamarudin said UniMAP chose Buraydah College as it was regarded as capable of forming and outlining an academic and research partnership which would develop its microelectronic engineering curriculum, especially in nanotechnology.

The partnership also includes an exchange programme involving students and staff.

Buraydah College, which was established in 2009, is the best private higher learning institution in Al Qassim which focuses on core fields such as engineering, medicine and pharmacy.

“This is the best move to make UniMAP competitive and known at the international level, which includes specialising in nanotechnology,” said Dr Kamarudin here today.

UniMAP and Buraydah College will work to develop an academic curriculum for nanotechnology, as well as turn UniMAP’s laboratory as a centre for training and practical students.

Meanwhile, UniMAP also fostered a relationship with the King Saud University (KSU) in Riyadh with focus on cooperation in the same fields.

KSU is among the best and oldest universities in Saudi Arabia.

The MoU finalising the partnership took place in Riyadh, and as a result, UniMAP will begin a biomedicine programme in September this year, or early next year.

Dr Kamarudin said KSU had also agreed to collaborate on research in optics, which will be headed by the Dean of UniMAP Research Management and Innovation Centre, Prof Dr Syed Alwee Al Junid Syed Junid.

Another Saudi Arabian university, the Al-Farabi College in Jeddah, has expressed interest in working with UniMAP to develop the engineering and biomedicine curriculum.

Both parties signed a letter last week, stating intent for a partnership. – Bernama
