The event details are as follow:
Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Roshanida Abdul Rahman (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia)
Date : 2 May 2021 l Sunday
Time : 9.00 AM to 11.30 AM (UTC +8.00) Kuala Lumpur, Singapore
Platform: Webex meeting
This structure course aimed is to expose students with knowledge in Research Surface Methodology and enhance students’ skill in using the software in research. This structure course also held to guide and share techniques on employing response surface methodology for research project, as well as to provide exposure to students on how to design experiment and do the statistical analysis. Meanwhile, this structured course provided a platform for students to share their problems and challenges while completing their postgraduate study, not only from academic wise, but also some other problems they might face during do experiment and statistic. It was an honor to have PM Dr. Roshanida from SCEE with us to share his professional and valuable knowledge.
This structured course was promoted 2 weeks before the event and managed to have 118 participantsThis structured course was promoted 2 weeks before the event and managed to have 118 participantsto join us virtually.
