Chassis System bersama Dr. Ataur

Assalamualaikum.

Ahamdulillah. Done my second day of lecture this semester. Due to the fact that I'm only have twice classes per day, for today, I only have Vehicle Dynamics and Chassis System and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Classes.

Quite a tough subjects. Basically for CFD, it is pretty much the same with Fluid Mechanics (FM) class which I took on my second year of studies. Seriusly setakat introduction class tadi, mostly he just repeating what had he taught us in FM. Cuma mungkin dalam CFD, dia ajar lagi mendalam sikit. Papepun I like the way he teach us. Asst. Prof. Dr. Asif Hoda. Beliau adalah antara lecturer yang betul-betul boleh hasilkan engineer. Siapa yang belajar dengan die mesti setuju. Haha.

Untuk subjek Chassis pulak? Hmm. Lecturer yang memang tak asing lagi di mata student-student automotive IIUM. Antara senior lecturer yang dah lama menabur bakti kat department mechanical IIUM. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ataur Rahman. Seorang lecturer yang sangat berpengalaman dan sangat aktif dalam penghasilan projek dan research. Dan di sini, suka untuk aku share sikit backgorund beliau.

Masa class CHASSIS tadi. Snap senyap-senyap. Sebab tu agak blur. Haha.

**********

Ok. Seriusly, tersangat banyak achievement dan research project yang beliau dah buat. Nak tengok yang selebihnya boleh klik [SINI]. Agak respect dengan pencapaian beliau. Otak mesti penuh dengan teori. Tapi biasalah, bila ade kelebihan, confirm ada kekurangan. Dan antara kekurangan yang sangat memberi kesan kepada student-student beliau khususnya student Malaysia ialah the way he pronouce his words. Sangat-sangat sukar untuk difahami. Mula-mula, ingat aku sorang jer ade problem nak faham. Tengok-tengok, ramai jugak yang sependapat dengan aku. Huhu. Nasib baik yang bagusnya beliau, beliau akan tulis di white board setiap inci kata-kata yang beliau cakap masa lecture. Dan masa lecture jugak beliau akan ulang dalam dua tiga kali. 

Anyway, setakat ni permulaan yang agak smooth. Takde terkejar dah nak buat add/drop manual macam first/second year dulu. Sekarang mula-mula sem dah rileks. Siap terasa bosan sebab setiap petang takde kelas. Huhu.

p/s: Belum dapat assigment, projek, kuiz, test semua boleh la kata bosan. Sekali dapat nanti, baru tahu erti penyesalan. Haha.
