Event Outcome

A/Prof. Nemai firstly taught us about innovation in 21st Century University curriculum which encourage us to learn things and teach in innovative and creative way such as online resources, video clips, design projects, forum discussion, lab sessions and etc.

A/Prof. Nemai use the inference and analogies (which are related with nature and human interaction society) to teach Advanced Electromagnetic (AEM) in creative way so that the students can digest complex physical principles and laws of Advanced Electromagnetic (AEM).

After the talk ,most of the participants asked a lots of questions about Advanced Electromagnetic and also the unique techniques to teach students for Advanced Electromagnetic .
