This course will enable the candidates to apply the advanced management concepts to become a transformational leader in finding practical solutions to face the challenges in healthcare sectors (both public and private). The course will encompass conceptual basis for advanced quantitative methods relevant to healthcare decision making, application of management theories and principles in health care management. They will gain hands-on application of epidemiological management in handling of current health problems and emerging crisis. They will be involved in evaluating strategic changes in health care with emphasis on human resource management, appropriate allocation of resources, public health communication and health informatics.
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.
Process Simulation using Aspen HYSYS is intended for participants who are using Aspen HYSYS for the first time and have little or no experience in computer simulation. It can be used as an introductory course in freshmen chemical engineering courses, or workshops where Aspen HYSYS is being taught. The course can also serve as a reference in more advanced chemical engineering courses when Aspen HYSYS is used as a tool for simulation and solving problems. It also can be used for self-directed study of Aspen HYSYS by students and practicing engineers. In addition, the course can be a supplement in courses where Aspen HYSYS is used, but the instructor does not have time to cover it extensively. This course has been interactively designed where every single chapter has it's own learning outcome with a simple activity as well as reflection. It is expected that participants will be able to articulate simulation skills obtained in this course to solve or plan the solution for complex chemical engineering process simulation problems.
This is a fundamental soil science course which introduces students to the basic physical, chemical, biological and morphological properties of soils and functions in relation to agriculture. Emphasis will be placed in the context of tropical conditions with particular reference to Malaysian soils. Soils will be perceived as a product of various processes acting over time on parent materials. The wide variety of soils resulting from the soil forming processes and their classification using the standard USDA and local (Malaysian) soil classification systems will be highlighted. The importance of appropriate management and land use practices to ensure conservation and sustainability for agriculture will be discussed.
