INSIGHTS @ MAHSA

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused a multitude of repercussions worldwide. The education system was one that was gravely impacted as it caused several educational institutions to close and alter their form of lessons to an online basis.   MAHSA University fell under this category and lessons were conducted through online platforms. The adaptations that had to be made for students were challenging as the vast majority preferred to be physically present in classrooms for their lessons. We made an effort to overcome this issue by implementing the E-learning System, also known as the Learning Management System (LMS). In addition to that, lessons were conducted via Google Meet for the same durations as would physical classes.  The majority of our students who benefited from this were our international students as they were unable to travel and cross boarder. Our students were given the opportunity to watch lessons repeatedly as lecturers would upload videos of pre-recorded lessons on their E

  Engineering is one of the pillars of industry in science and technology. The 21 st century is primarily about the constant presence of technology. Almost every invention was made from the exploration and discovery of science and technology, including vehicles, technological instruments, industrial equipment, and your everyday household utility. The development of science and technology in recent years has been even more rapid with the advancement of the fourth industrial revolution. Nowadays, almost everyone owns at least one smart phone and/or a technological gadget. The technological revolution began around the year 1992 with IBM, but the true smartphone revolution did not really start until Macworld 2007, when Steve Jobs revealed the first iPhone. Previous phones relied on keypads and could only navigate a watered-down version of the Internet. Now most things  can be done from smart phones – work, entertainment, shopping, and yes, even dating. All this is because of the creativit

It has been a big change for a lot of students as we need to adapt to the new studying environment, and that is online learning. Though it can be beneficial to others, some might find it complicated to engage properly under certain circumstances.  It is well known that different students gain different experiences when it comes to online learning. This is especially due to how they manage their own schedule and their needs during studies. A small survey was conducted, in order to understand and gain students’ perspectives towards online studying, it can be said that everyone has different opinions and experiences. For instance, one might find joy in online learning because of the infinite access to the internet in search of answers or help online. However, one might find it difficult and would prefer a physical class or consultation in order to get a better focus and understanding from their own respective lecturers. As for students’ satisfaction, most students find it difficult to enj
