CONTENT SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

The comprehensive course, which covers end-to-end, aims to equip the engineers and IT-entrepreneurs with pertinent knowledge and skills to be successful in the digitalization of engineering industries especially in the Digital Twins Focus.

The main aim of the training is to enhance participants’ understanding and knowledge on Digital Twins applications in engineering practices. The technical aspects include the comprehensive overviews of Digital Twins fundamental concepts, instrumentation strategy to support Digital Twin, model calibration techniques, automations processes and optimization in decision-making with feature selections. Hence the course will equip the participants with the required skills to drive digitalization transformation (Digital Twins Focus) in the areas of their engineering practices.

1. Professor Ir Dr Mohd Shahir Liew

Professor Ir Dr Mohd Shahir Liew has been practicing in the construction and offshore industry for 23 years, he is now the Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Innovation (DVCRI) at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia in charge of the business development portfolio and catalyzing the research ecosystem for accelerated growth. He is a reviewer in many conferences and journals. He authored more than 350 refereed articles. He has more than 1,268 citations with 16 h-index as well as 31 i10-index.  

Professor Shahir aspires for a better tomorrow in Malaysia through the approach of sustained growth in niche capabilities and high-end knowledge areas. He believes that these are crucial for the country to reach developed nation status and strongly advocates for the scientific and engineering community to always add cutting edge dimensions to their set of capabilities and competencies. 

Professor Shahir throughout his career has spearheaded several strategic initiatives in the area of competency development including being one of the pioneering groups in Malaysia to develop wind engineering competencies and was the Chairman of the National Standards MS1553 Wind Code in 1999. In this time in the Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Council (MOGSC), he has served as the Chairman of the Competency and Training Working Group identifying critical industry gaps in the oil and gas industry. His continued service as the Honourary Secretary has also seen his leading participation in the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) for the National Occupational Skill Standard (NOSS) and Sectorial Training Committee (STC-17). He is also the current Fellow of the Energy Institute Malaysia and is closely overlooking the development of niche professional accreditation tracks in Malaysia for engineers in the energy sector.  

Prof Ir Dr Shahir Liew graduated from Texas Tech University with a B.Sc in Civil Engineering and Ph.D in Structural Dynamics. He is a Professional Engineer with the State of Texas and an Asean Engineer. In 2016, he became a Fellow Chartered Engineer (UK). After spending 23 years in the industry as consulting professional engineer in the USA and Asian countries, he joined UTP in 2009 as an Associate Professor. He has been the Head of Offshore Engineering Center since 2011, winning approximately RM8.5m research grants. He is currently active in engaging the industries, including Production Sharing Contractors and Tier 2 oil and gas companies. He has held several exco positions, nationally and internationally, with the NGOs and is instrumental in developing young engineers and researchers. He is committed to ensure the relevance of research and its application for the benefit of the industry and society as a whole.
