Optimization of the power consumption for thermal energy storage system in Engineering Complex, UiTM Shah Alam

Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems have been used in the some country in the world. It is a load management technology with great potential to shift load from on-peak to off-peak utility periods. However, the issue of cost in term of power consumption becomes an obstacle to implement this system. 

This paper presents the optimization of the power consumption for TES system in Engineering Complex, UiTM Shah Alam Selangor. The data obtained were observed and analyzed to identify whether the power usage can be minimized or not in order to supply cooling to the building. This paper also discuss the technical aspect and criteria for TES system. In conclusion, there are some process in this system to be improve and after the process is fully successful, the power consumption is expected to be reduced.

Paradox of e-learning for distance education students at UiTM Shah Alam

One of the variables analyzed from a research on computer attitudes for distance education students was computer anxiety. Computer anxiety is a mix of dislike and phobia towards the use of computers for e-learning purposes. Of the 500 sampled cases, the response rate was 50.6% or 253 respondents. A questionnaire was the instrument used to collect data for parametric and non-parametric analyses. 

It was evidenced from the findings that there were still some students who still experience computer anxiety. This outcome is a paradox since ICT is ubiquitous and the mode of teaching and learning for distance education is through the use of ICT.
