I think missed out a semicolon...

Written by: Syazril Izwan bin Ahmad

No university is complete without computer labs for students interested in the field of IT. Uniten is no exception. In fact, we got two separate places where we have computer labs!

There's one at the College of Engineering (CoE), housed within the building called the Information Technology and Multimedia Services (ITMS). Unfortunately I didn't have the time to head over there to take photos. Anyway, for most engineering students, they'll be taking some basic programming/computing lab subjects and this is where they'll be spending their lessons. But what about the IT and CS(Computer Science) students?

An ordinary day in the computer lab

Well that's easy really, since the other place to have computer labs is of course is in the College of Information Technology(CoIT)! (Where else did you expect?) We have 2 floors housing the computer labs, level 3 and level 4. So it is here that you'll be seeing students everyday having lab sessions for their respective computing subjects, whether it's programming, statistics for computing, or web programming.

Amir and Hisyam

That's not all. This is where the subject registration and add-and-drop sessions for the next semester will be held, thanks to the numerous amount of computers available here (in comparison to ITMS). It's no surprise during the first two weeks of a new semester to see students flocking in and out of the 3rd and 4th floors, frantically going about their business.




I guess I should also mention that the computers we have are (almost) entirely up-to-date, with all the latest tools and software available to keep students updated with the latest tech.

Long time no see!

Hello again readers! I know it's been a long time since our last post so to make it up to you guys, we're gonna be giving out a whole lot of content this week. So for this post, it'll be an overview of the facilities we have in Uniten. Let's kick it of then, shall we?

Uniten's Library

As with any university, Uniten has a load of facilities for students, whether for learning, research or recreation. In the picture on the left here, we have our rather HUMONGOUS library, complete with six floors including an auditorium and an examination hall.


For students staying on campus, we of course have a couple of apartments for them. There are four - Amanah and Cendikiawan for guys, Ilmu and Murni for the girls. I'd tell you more, but ah, that's another story for another time. ;)

Upten

Next up, food outlets! We have several of them littered all around Uniten, but the most prominent one is Upten. This big food court houses 7 shops, each with their own kind and style of foods available and is actually situated outside the university (not too far, we promise), and also next to it we have a row of shops that have some general goods, printing services and even a laundry shop!

Just next to Upten, is our mosque, Masjid Uniten. Besides being a place of worship for our Muslims, it also houses the Center for Islamic Studies and Civilization Uniten(a.k.a CICU). It even has a Zakat unit there, where u can even opt to be a recipient for Zakat if need be. And of course, some classrooms for students studying the Islamic Studies subjects.



Uniten also have some sports facilities, such as a gym, a tennis court, futsal court, a mini stadium, a basketball court, and even a driving range (a golf field, for those of you who don't know). There's a lot more facilities to mention, but I'm afraid I spoke a little too long. Keep up for more updates!

What's QMEA?

Me posing with some of the awards :)

Hey, fellas!

As a UNITEN student, I knew UNITEN have won many awards throughout the years. Usually, I don't even care about what kind of awards that they have won. Not until i found out about this one award that they have won in 2009:

The Quality Management Excellence Award (QMEA)

At first, the only reason why this award caught my eyes is just because of the name of the award. Lol! But then I wanted to know more about this award then I started to ask Mr.Google and this is what I got.

In order to win this award, UNITEN is judged based on these criteria:

1. Top management leadership and management of quality
2. Use of quality data and information
3. Human resource management
4. Customer focus
5. Quality assurance of external suppliers
6. Process management
7. Quality and operational/business results

UNITEN is also the first Malaysian university to receive the Quality Environment Certification from the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC). Hmm, not bad right?

For me, this award will bring great impacts on the university. It is because this award will show the whole world that UNITEN is all about quality. Besides that, this will make companies out there to have the confidence and trust to make UNITEN graduates as their employees. For the future, parents will not hesitate to send their kids to study in UNITEN because it is recognised as a university that provide good quality education.

As for my last words, I really hope that UNITEN will always provide quality education to the people and keep generating professionals to the nation.

Congrats to UNITEN for winning the QMEA award!

International Recognition

Written by : Syazril Izwan bin Ahmad

As you readers out there might be aware, Universiti Tenaga Nasional (a.k.a. Uniten) prestigious awards, from local to international, over the past 3 years. However, the one that got my attention is the International Standard Quality(ISQ) Award 2011. The award was presented to Yg. Berbahagia Dato Seri Prof. Mashkuri Yaacob(Vice Chancellor of Uniten) at a ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Thus, Uniten has been bestowed the award for Quality College and University. Now you guys out there might be wondering, "Eh, so what?".

Well, just so you know, this particular award is given by the European Union Analysis Alliance(EUAA), an organization whose aim is to build an economic alliance with other nations, in this case ASEAN

countries. What this means is that Uniten has been recognized by the European Union as a top quality university not only in Malaysia but in other countries as well. This shows that despite being a private university (with strangely little recognition among local youths nowadays), Uniten has proved once again it has the potential to show itself to the world that it continues to generate quality education and well, professionals (pun intended : P) and hopefully will continue to do so for years to come.

This is Syazril, signing off.

Workers United

 Awards,Awards,Awards. There are many award that UNITEN has achieved in recent years. But what I am about to say has something to do with UNITEN managements. in 2010, Uniten has acquired Prime Minister's Award for Industry Excellence. This is the Government's effort in recognising local companies who have displayed excellence in organization. Well this have been a great achievement to UNITEN because from a low ratings, to a professional level,recognised by the public. Well, a few things we could learn from this award. In order to achieved it, a high standard was set for the staff of UNITEN. That is why they won this award. Setting goals are probably one of the best example to maximise our efficiency and it can be used by students like us.

Prime Minister's Award

    To me this award has been a great example that the university has also generate professional towards the workers and not only to students. It shows that UNITEN has done some efforts in learning to be a productive in addition to active people-based company. What UNITEN had achieved with the award shows UNITEN management do care to their employees and set a higher bar to UNITEN management itself.
