Dr Azuana has successfully attended an online course, Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure by Iverson Associates Sdn Bhd from 11  to 14 October 2021. She learned how to use Microsoft Azure services such as Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Databricks. Besides that, she also acquired the knowledge on data engineering patterns, the core compute and storage technologies that are used to build an analytical solution, how to design an analytical serving layer and focus on data engineering considerations for working with source files. In addition, she also learned how to interactively explore data stored in files in a data lake, and the various ingestion techniques that can be used to load data. This course helps to enhance her understanding on Data Warehousing and Data Engineering so that the knowledge can be shared with her students and colleagues.

Dr Muhammad Azrin has successfully attended an online course, Adobe Premiere Pro CC Essential Training by Tertiary Infotech Sdn Bhd from 19 to 20 October 2021. He learned all the fundamentals related to editing video and audio, colour correction, adding titles and effects, and other practical skills using Adobe Premiere Pro. The course improves his skills at producing excellent online teaching & learning videos as well as creating remarkable content for the official PSM YouTube channel and promotional videos.
 
With the knowledge attained from attending the respective courses, these staff will conduct courses for their colleagues under the Training of Trainer (ToT) which is a great way to make scarce expertise widely available to the organisation so that other colleagues could benefit from the training as well. This is aligned with our belief at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences that “Knowledge increases by sharing but not saving”.
