Newly Hired

The Problem Recently there has been a growing interest to increase the number of people entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. One of the major problems with this “supply-side” model is that it sees STEM workforce development narrowly as one of inputs (recruitment) and ignores the practice of STEM work, which affects the retention of professionals in STEM careers. The Solution Informed by recent research and theory on career development, we studied the work experiences of newly hired engineers in one organization. A key finding is that a major part of their experiences involved organizational work and social dynamics outside of what many considered to be “real” engineering work. We propose that these experiences provide important insights for the education and retention of STEM workers. The Stakeholders Faculty in higher education that prepare STEM workers, managers in organizations that hire new STEM workers, and aspiring STEM workers.

This study aims to identify students' acceptance on the implementation of the Science and Engineering curriculum in Islam at Ungku Omar Polytechnic, Ipoh. The focus of this study is to analyze the level and  relationship  between  the  students'  acceptance  of  the  course  implementation  in  terms  of  course content,  lecturer  teaching  and  course  evaluation.  This study  was  conducted  quantitatively  on  270 students  of  Ungku  Omar  Polytechnic,  Ipoh  who  had  taken  Science  Technology  and  Engineering  in Islam courses using a set of questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferred by using Statistical  Package  for  Social  Sciences  (IBM  SPSS  Statistics  20.0). Overall,  the  findings  of  the  data analysis revealed that the students' acceptance of the  Science and Technology Engineering Course in Islam in terms of course content (min = 4.451), teaching of lecturers (min = 4.531) and course evaluation (min = 4.441) between acceptance of students with course content (r = 0.902), teaching of lecturers (r = 0.897) and courses assessment (r = 0.940). The implications of this study provide lecturers with the opportunity to improve the P&P process and make science and engineering science courses in Islam as a platform for students to enhance understanding and be able to practice Islamic way of life and master generic skills. Abstrak Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti penerimaan pelajar terhadap pelaksanaan kurikulum kursus Sains Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan dalam Islam di Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh. Fokus kajian ini adalah menganalisis tahap dan hubungan di antara penerimaan pelajar terhadap pelaksanaan kursus dari aspek kandungan kursus, pengajaran pensyarah dan penilaian kursus. Kajian ini telah dijalankan secara kuantitatif ke atas 270 orang pelajar Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh yang telah mengambil kursus Sains Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan dalam Islam dengan menggunakan set borang soal selidik. Data kajian dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi dengan menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0). Secara keseluruhannya, dapatan analisa data mendapati penerimaan pelajar terhadap Kursus Sains Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan Dalam Islam daripada aspek kandungan kursus (min=4.451), pengajaran pensyarah (min=4.531) dan penilaian kursus (min=4.441) adalah sangat tinggi kandungan kursus (r= 0.902), pengajaran pensyarah (r=0.897) dan penilaian kursus (r=0.940). Implikasi kajian ini memberi peluang kepada para pensyarah untuk menambah baik proses P&P dan menjadikan kursus Sains Teknologi dan Kejuruteraan dalam Islam sebagai platfrom kepada para pelajar untuk menambahkan kefahaman dan mampu mempraktikkan cara hidup Islam serta menguasai kemahiran generik.
