The Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) curriculum was designed to contain substantial practical experiences. `Learning-by-doing' approach is used allowing students to apply the theories into applications. This ability is known as hard technical skill. The university also provide opportunities

Abstract-- Murabahah contract is an unconditional contract of sale between the seller and buyer, where the goods, cost price, markup and payment date are clearly defined, agreed and documented. The important element is that the price in murabahah should be mutually agreed upon based on the cost and margin. This paper aims to discuss the above costs (direct and indirect) from shariah point of view and recommend the opinion which can be applied in modern murabahah transaction. This paper is a concept paper where the data from the views of shariah was gathered regarding to cost used in trading and comparison with the conventional financial cost has been made to show the direct and indirect cost in murabahah financing is accepted on unaccepted by the Shariah. The study found that the direct and indirect cost in murabahah financing is accepted by the Shariah, however it is only recommended for the cost which contributes to the product. I.

the structure and dynamics of interorganizational collaboration in biotechnology. Using multiple novel methods, the authors demonstrate how different rules for affiliation shape network evolution. Commercialization strategies pursued by early corporate entrants are supplanted by universities, research

Abstrak. Multi-agent system is one the most popular research interests in robotics nowadays. Imagine for a swarm of robots, what kind of intelligence can we build now? This question arises from emulating biological systems. How is it that colonies of small ants can work together to perform a difficult task that single ant cannot do it alone? How might collections of simple robots aid us in human endeavours? By examining these questions, one of the common characteristics shared by each agent is in agent simplicity. Simplicity in control means that the robots are pro-vided with direct commands in order to execute the action. It doesn't need to gather all informa-tion from various sensors to plan its action like deliberative control which is also known as sensors fusion that clearly required a lot of computational time and also the mapping that its produces might not valid at the time when changes occurs between the time it gathers the information and the time it plans its actions. Instead, intelligence will arise when these simple agents work together to perform some complex task cooperatively. By examining the major control architectures avail-able in robotics area, subsumption-based reactive control architecture gives the tools as required. Priority-based scheme is used in arbitration level to select which behaviour to run. In this paper decentralised reactive control architecture was used to justify the communication based simple control architecture can perform complex task like carrying load and navigate.

Abstract. This paper will describe mathematics education in UTM. A review of the problems faced in the learning and teaching of mathematics in the last decade will be discussed. Several academic strategies have been implemented in the past, aimed at overcoming students ’ learning difficulties

ABSTRACT Academic institutions in the country

The paper investigated the academic advising experiences of ethnic minority students at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The main purpose of the paper was to examine the challenges faced and coping strategies used by the ethnic minority students as well as the role of academic advisors

, the teaching, learning and assessment strategies, as well as the open source groupware framework used to build a successful online community for collaborative learning and knowledge construction amongst students of diverse backgrounds and interests, separated by the barriers of time and distance.

, what features they expected and the need for flexible windows. To achieve these goals, a self-administered questionnaire was given to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia staff. The results indicated that the best configuration for flexible windows had few parts, were easy to operate, had a simple structure

Abstract. In behavior-based mobile robot, the control strategy is distributed among a set of specialized behaviors. Each behavior with particular objective runs completely independently to send commands to control the mobile robot. However, behavior with different objectives may generate
