In the recent IRIIE 2010 (brief info on it was posted earlier), the researches were put into 3 different categories; Allied Health, Social Sciences & Humanities, and Science, Engineering & Technology.The results for silver and bronze medal winners were posted in the morning, while the gold medal winners were only announced during the closing ceremony at 3 pm. So basically those who did not receive any silver or bronze medal in the morning were expecting either gold medals or nothing.
The number of gold medal winners according to categories were as follows:
- Allied Health: 3 gold medals
- Social Sciences & Humanities: 9 gold medals
- Science, Engineering & Technology: 26 gold medals
I am not going to highlight those 2 earlier categories since they are in my field and interest. The latter category (Science, Engineering & Technology) would be much highlighted here.
And what has impressed me was (even though I've expected that), out of 26 gold medals received by those in Science, Engineering & Technology, 17 of them were from Dept. of Biotechnology Engineering alone.
That also means, the remaining 9 gold medals were shared together with the other 5 departments in the Kull. of Engineering, Kull. of Science, Kull. of Architecture & Envt. Design, as well as Kull. of ICT.
Apart from that, the Dept. of Biotechnology Engineering also won 4 commercial awards out of 5. What a record!
The gold medals and commercial award winners were as listed below:
- Dr. Md. Zahangir Alam (6 + 2 commercial awards)
- Dr. Parveen Jamal (4)
- Dr. Mohamed Saedi (2)
- Dr. Ibrahim Ali Noorbatcha (2)
- Dr. Azura Amid (1)
- Dr. Hamzah Mohd Salleh (1)
- Dr. Irwandi Jaswir (1)
- Dr. Maizirwan Mel (1 commercial award)
Congratulation to all the winners! For those who have not won medals (particularly gold medal), I believe that the results should be taken positively, indicating that they should be working harder. And to the winners, they should keep the flag up, and encourage others to do better in the future.
Wassalam.
