Students' perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT may vary. Some students view it as a highly useful tool for assisting with completing assignments in Malay, while others may take a more skeptical or cautious approach toward using this technology. Therefore, the objectives of this study are (i) to identify the perspectives o...

Umur mahasiswa universiti teknikal di Malaysia rata-ratanya bermula dari 19 sehingga 24 tahun. Mahasiswa ini terdiri daripada pelajar yang mendaftar di peringkat pengajian diploma dan ijazah sarjana muda. Maka, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti pandangan mahasiswa universiti teknikal mengenai penggunaan slanga dalam pembentangan kumpu...

This study explores the perceptions of students at a Malaysian Technical University students toward social media use and its impact on cocurricular activities, leadership, and academic achievement. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, a questionnaire was administered to a population of 1,000 students, with 278 respondents determined using K...

Nowadays, the number of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) has increased due to increased automobile production. One of the crucial in processing ELVs is dismantling. However, most of the developing countries still have limited specific dismantling infrastructure. Most of the ELV management started at the automobile workshop. Hence the purpose of this pap...

Water treatment sludge (WTS) is a by-product produced in the process of water treatment plants (WTP). It is estimated that an ordinary WTP produces over 10,000 tonnes of WTS per day, which has become a major concern in the management of WTS. Numerous previous studies have been accomplished to determine a safe disposal method and the potential reuse...

The improper handling of domestic e-waste poses serious environmental and health risks. By highlighting the crucial problems and potential solutions, this thorough analysis attempts to synthesize the body of knowledge on managing household e-waste. However, designing sustainable management techniques requires consideration of the collection system,...

Purpose: The study aims to empirically examine the influence of different organisational practices on institutional excellence in municipality of Abu Dhabi. E-service quality is examined as mediator and quality of polices is examined as a moderator. Theoretical Framework: Activity theory support the assumption that the excellence is a result of the...

The purpose of this study is to examine the perspective of Construction Technology academics from Malaysia vocational colleges on implementing the aspects of the industrial revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). It was achieved by determining the degree of leadership support for vocational colleges, implementation of IR 4.0 components by academics, readiness for...

This work develops and evaluates an Augmented Reality Instructional System for assembly support and its role in improving efficiency on manual, customized, or modular manufacturing. The prototype application is a tool designed to unite real and computer-based scenes and images to deliver a combined view of assembly with a marker-less based tracking...

End-of-life waste disposal is a major issue in Malaysia, where the country’s economy has suffered due to waste recovery issues. Many countries have successfully identified critical materials and products for increasing recycling rates, but not in Malaysia. Thus, the Malaysian government and businesses have had difficulty prioritising products for r...

Musculoskeletal disorders remain one of the most prevalent occupational injuries in the manufacturing sector. This study was performed to determine the types of working postures that cause discomfort to workers at a selected tooling plant in an automotive manufacturing company. The working postures of the co-workers were assessed while performing m...

Usage of composite material is rising across various sectors such as automotive, wind energy and aerospace. Compared to metal matrix composites (MMCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), thermoset based polymer matrix composites (PMCs) dominate the market. The heterogeneous nature of composite materials and cross-linked nature of the thermoset ma...

Landfill restrictions on certain materials and products have provided the impetus to seek for a more sustainable utilisation of waste in a circular economy. These restrictions compounded with legislation and value factors necessitate an urgent solution to address the issue of carbon or glass fibre reinforced composite waste disposal. There is curre...

The emergence of wind energy as an integral global player has witnessed a rapid growth of wind farms. While wind energy in itself is a clean energy resource, the disposal of the projected wind turbine end-of-life composite waste is likely to present a monumental management challenge that requires foresight and planning. The aim of this research was...

In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of each service life. To enable a transition to a circular economy it is important to establish the factors that would trigger and sustain such an economy...

This research was focused on developing a new scientific approach for prioritising recycling of end-of-life products in a circular economy. To date, product complexity based on the mixture of materials has been used as a predictor of what gets recycled. While the separation of materials that make up a product has been modelled as a measure of produ...

The world is neither globally successful in remanufacturing and re-use of products nor recycling of waste materials. This requires a combination of circular economy management systems, business models and novel technologies. There are contrasting views in literature regarding models for a circular economy. The main views are built on extended produ...

Mathematics is an essential and fundamental tool used by engineers to analyse and solve problems in their field. Due to this, most engineering education programs involve a concentration of study in mathematics courses whereby engineering students have to take mathematics courses such as numerical methods, differential equations and calculus in the...

In Malaysia, the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is widely used for domestic purposes. The delivery men who are in charge of delivering the LPG cylinders to the customers are exposed to the ergonomic risk factors associated with excessive force due to the heavy steel cylinders. There are devices used to assist the delivery task, however, the devices...

Lean production and open source innovation are the two forces that drive business success today. However, some aspects of lean production may adversely affect a company's capability to be successful with open source innovations. This study aims to examine open source adoption in the government and private sectors, and to identify the factors and ch...

In the industrial workplaces, manual materials handling is a necessity for the workers. However, improper materials handling technique can contribute to occupational injuries. The objective of this paper is to provide information on ergonomics risk factors and health effects associated with manual materials handling. Ergonomics risk factors include...

In Malaysia, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is filled in a heavy steel cylinder and it is widely used for cooking purpose. Due to its dimensions and mass, the delivery men exposed to ergonomics risk factors associated with excessive force that can lead to injury to the back and the shoulders. There are assistive devices can be used to aid the delive...

The purpose of the study is to examine the influence of manufacturing performance on green supply chain management amongst Malaysian companies. A conceptual model is proposed and is subjected to an empirical verification with the use of a survey of manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The AMOS structural equation modelling was used to measure the r...
