This course will teach the students on suitable concepts in statistics and probability; and its applications in engineering.
There is an increasing amount of data available to Chemical Engineers in the multitude of areas that they can apply themselves in. To take advantage of this, it is essential to equipped the Chemical Engineering graduate with data science tools. Data storage, analysis, and visualisation plays an increasingly important role in the discipline. Chemical engineers are dealing with more, and more-complex problems and solutions are available in the details obtained from data.
For example, a modern plant will be equipped with cheap instrumentation and widely accessible high-bandwidth and fast connectivity. The engineer working in this plant will have a high volume of data. These data need to be processed, analysed and visualised.
Another example would be in the area of research and discovery, a student or researcher conducting data-intensive experiments, such as high-resolution particle tracking, might generate more data in an afternoon than a student from a previous decade would have generated in the entire time spent earning their PhD. For those conducting mathematical modeling and computer simulations, advanced algorithms and hardware now give simulators unprecedented resolution at the cost of massive increases in the dataset.
The aim of this course is for the students to become proficient in evaluating complex data using hypothesis testing and apply statistical method through computation methods to solve chemical engineering problems.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to communication systems, covering both analogue and digital techniques. Students will explore the principles of modulation and demodulation, the impact of noise on system performance, and the application of these concepts in modern communication technologies, including radio, television, satellite, and cellular systems. The course begins with analogue communication systems before introducing foundational theories such as random processes, estimation and detection, information theory, and error correction coding. Building on these principles, students will analyse and apply state-of-the-art digital communication techniques.
Understanding the inner workings of computers is fundamental for electronic engineering (computer) students, as it forms the backbone of modern technology. This KS32403 Computer Architecture course offers a comprehensive foundation in computer architecture, providing students with a deep insight into the intricate mechanisms that power computing systems.
This posting, part of the Year 4 MBBS Phase II curriculum, provides students with clinical exposure to Family Medicine and District Hospital Practice. It aims to equip students with competencies to manage common health problems, understand the healthcare system, and deliver holistic, continuous, and coordinated care within the Malaysian context, especially in resource-limited settings such as Sabah.
The Family Medicine and District Hospital Posting bridges primary and secondary care learning by emphasizing holistic, community-oriented, and evidence-based clinical practice. Through lectures, discussions, and clinical immersion, students develop essential competencies in comprehensive care, teamwork, and ethical professionalism, preparing them to function effectively as future family physicians or primary care providers.
OGSP MM50310 is a module prepared for UMS final year undergraduates medical students to provide them with adequate clinical exposure, understand more basic physiology in obstetrics and gynaecology disorder as well as improve their communication skill towards patients and and medical communities. In this nine week rotation, they will be guided through lectures that emphasizes diseases and its management, bed side teaching in the hospital, ward rounds and ward work in the hospital such as observing or assisting in normal delivery, observing and assisting in delivery of placenta and repair of perineum. They also will be exposed to common ward procedures such as blood taking, CTG application and interpretation, induction of labour ,management of normal and abnormal labour and basic observation in postnatal ward. In the clinic they will learn and observe outpatient cases and also will learn cases for hysteroscopy and colposcopy.
At the end of this posting, they will be assessed via completion of log book and viva, theory papers such as One Best Answer (OBA), Modified Essay Question (MEQ) and Long Essay Questions (LEQ). To assess their history and physical examination skills, a clinical exam with real patient will be held and an OSCE will also be provided.
By the end of this course participants should be able to :
1. Describe adequate basic science and clinical knowledge in common obstetrics and gynaecological condition.
2. perform standard clinical skills of history taking, physical examination and procedures in common obstetric and gynaecological conditions
3. Propose diagnosis and management plan for patients with common obstetrics condition
4. Communicate effectively with colleaguse, patients, relatives and hospital staff
5. Demonstrate professionalism and ethics while approaching patients and families
LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES:
At the end of the rotation, students should be able to :
1. Take a thorough obstetrics and gynaecological history, perform a proper physical examination and be able to formulate diagnosis and differential diagnosis
2. Formulate management plan and keep accurate clear records
3. Able to interprete common and basic investigations results and able to suggest related management plan
4. Understand guideline and hospital protocol
5. Understand appropriate referral pathway
6. Recognize and differentiate between elective and emergency cases
7. Know the common procedures in obstetrics and gynaecology

Research methodology studies provide comprehensive knowledge about research methods and their background. The courses help you understand the research process, how to conduct research, write scientific text and analyze studies made by others. The aim of the course is to give the students the theoretical and practical skills to conduct, analyze and present in written and oral form, an experimental task, and to give insight and understanding of research methodology.
The focus of this course is to study the impact of economics on the health care system. The subject of Health Economics (HE) is essential to have the understanding the value of spending money and managing it in the health care systems. The students will be introduced the economic in general before going to more specific subjects of health economics, and application of economics in healthcare, with special reference to economic evaluation. Sufficient knowledge of HE is crucial to develop certain policies for the smooth running and optimizing the delivery of health services to the community. It will prepare the students better understand the role economic plays in managing the healthcare system and apply this principle for managing the resource allocation in case of future health care reform especially with respect to healthcare financing. In ever changing world of innovations, it is imperative to obtain the skills and knowledge on how to take decision while evaluating the efficiency of any new health technology.
This course aims to provide knowledge and skills in managing various types of groups suitable for different work environments. Emphasis is given to the process, namely group counseling, psycho-educational group, and task group. Students will be exposed to practical objectives, role expectations, and behavior of leaders and group members. Building group cohesion will be emphasized as a prerequisite for therapeutic problem-solving or therapy in a group setting.
