19 [Date]

collection of recyclable materials at recycling cages and to improve material recovery facility system in GRRSB, Tajar Kedah.

B.4 Student Activities B.4.1 In 2019, one student branch was formed bringing the total number to 27 Student

Branches (STB) under IEEE Malaysia Section. The newly formed SB is located in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris.

It is also worth noting that IEEE has begun removing inactive STBs starting 2018. STBs are considered inactive if they fail to maintain a minimum of 10 active student members (registered IEEE Student/Graduate Student Members). In 2019, IEEE MGA moved to dissolve 312 STBs within R10. One of the affected STBs was University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. Malaysia Section had to appeal and show evidences of growth and activity to reverse this decision. Additionally, IEEE MGA has placed the following STBs under probation subjected to its performance in 2019:

§ INTI International University § Mara University of Technology - Shah Alam § Nilai University § Universiti Selangor - Bestari Jaya Campus § Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka § Universiti Utara Malaysia

B.4.2 IEEE Malaysia Section has 19 SBC/SBA. All SBC and SBA come under the

responsibility/purview of the Student Branch. Malaysia Section supports SBC and SBA initiatives via the STB. However, SBCs and SBAs should also reach out to their respective technical chapter/affinity groups for support (technical and financial). Technical chapters and affinity groups are encouraged to reach out and provide support to their respective SBCs/SBAs.

B.4.3 The names of the IEEE Student Branch Counsellors, IEEE SBC/SBA advisors and

Chairs (as listed on IEEE vTools Officer Reporting) as of 8th January 2019 can be referred in Appendix B.

B.4.4 Effective 2019, IEEE MGA only pays out the student branch rebate and bonuses

for timely completion of the STB activity plan, by 1st February 2020. According to IEEE Bylaw requirements, an incentive allotment of US$100 is given if the STB has 50 or more members or US$50 if the Student Branch has fewer than 50 members. In addition, IEEE provides an incentive rebate of US$2 per Student or Graduate Student member at the STB (based on membership statistics as of 31 December of the previous year).

B.4.5 Student Activities in 2019 B.4.5.1 We appointed the Section Student Representatives (SSR) and SAC

representatives through a call for an expression of interest. SSR and SAC student committee function to assist student branches in voicing up common problems faced by STB/SB/SBA while ensuring activities proposed/organized at the

20 [Date]

section level continues to be relevant and beneficial to the students. The 2019 SSR and SAC representatives are as follows:

Figure B.6: SSR and SACs

B.4.5.2 IEEE Malaysia Section Student Activities Committee (SAC) successfully

organized the 9th IEEE Malaysia Student Branch Leadership Workshop. In this instalment we decided to change the way this workshop has been run. We divided the STBs in Malaysia based on their regions i.e. Northern Region, Central Region, Southern Region and East Malaysia. We appointed SAC representatives to handle training for the STBs and their committee. This way we were able to reach out to more STBs leadership and expose them to the IEEE platform for ideas on activities and funding.

B.4.5.3 The SAC team together with the Malaysia Section committee put together a bid

to host SYWL 2020, together with MyCEB and SCB. However, our proposal was not selected and the bid was given to Thailand.

B.4.5.4 The 2019 IEEE Final Year Project (FYP) Competition was held between the

months of July to August 2019. The event aimed to provide a platform for final year undergraduate students and their supervisors to showcase their research and development and be recognized for academic excellence.

This year the SAC team was able to obtain the support of the Department of Higher Education, Malaysia. Through this collaboration, the Department of Higher Education funded us financially for a sum of MYR 10,000 to be used for the printing and catering of food and refreshments during the award presentation ceremony.

In this installation we say the offering of 19 technical tracks and a total of approximately 380 submissions. This event only continues to be successful due to the great cooperation existing between Malaysia section and its Technical

21 [Date]

Chapters. The Technical Chapters then take ownership in determining deserving projects. The list of winners across all the tracks are as follows:

B.7.9 IEEE Malaysia Strategic Communication portfolio was first established in 2019

with the aspiration of improving visibility of IEEE Malaysia. While strategic communication at IEEE society level was long established with the aim to provide unified and recognizable brand experience and goes directly to the value of IEEE brand. Initiatives include IEEE brand ambassador, Tech Expert, IEEE Public Visibility Initiative, IEEE transmitter and contents produced are in the form of taglines, videos, digital and print materials.

Goals of the Strategic Communication Committees (SCC) of IEEE Malaysia are formulated aligned with IEEE mission and vision and amplifying them for Malaysia context, as follows:

• To increase public understanding of how engineering and technology benefit humanity

• To position IEEE Malaysia as a recognized professional society for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals

B.7.10 Aspire to increase IEEE Malaysia visibility, in 2019 SCC plans and undertakes 3 key

initiatives as follows: • Did You Know? • Techie Festive Season Greeting • Supporting IEEE Malaysia strategic events

The other part of SCC’s purview is overlooking communication platforms of IEEE Malaysia section to communicate with internal and external stakeholders. Existing communication platforms are:

• Official website: https://ieeemy.org/mysection/ • Facebook page: @IEEE.my • Twitter: @IEEEMalaysia • LinkedIn: IEEE Malaysia Section

B.7.11 Did You Know?

IEEE has been around for 28 years in Malaysia, since the first technical chapter established in 1992. Throughout this long stretch of establishment period, SCC creative media team designed three (3) digital posters and one (1) video, to recognize successes and key milestones achieved by the section/chapters/affinity groups/sub-sections and volunteers.

35 [Date]

The idea is for IEEE Malaysia members to celebrate and public to note of IEEE achievements and contributions towards technology and technical professional development.

Table B.10 shows topics’ highlight and its social media interaction measurements. To understand the widespread of this initiative and user’s interaction to the content, SCC measures the Facebook ‘reach’ (i.e. number of unique people who saw the content) and ‘engagement’ (i.e. number of actions such as post clicks, likes, shares and comments), as shown in the Table B.10.

B.7.12 Techie Festive Season Greeting

Malaysia celebrates quite a number of festive seasons and in 2019, SCC creative media team designed six (6) email banners and digital posters for the festive season greeting, featuring different technology theme for each festive season.

The idea is for IEEE Malaysia members to include the banner in their email (eg. at the signature area) or the digital posters to be circulated on other communication means, as a form of promoting brand and educating public (through the member’s email correspondence and networks) about IEEE Malaysia.

Table B.2 shows technology theme highlights for each festive season and its social media interaction measurements.

student branch representatives who attended. All the cost of the congress including venue and F&B were sponsored by Malaysia section.

C.4.10 For the chapters and student branches, IEEE Malaysia conducted a leadership camp

for all the 2019 volunteers including the chairs, treasurers and secretaries where the cost of venue and F&B was sponsored by Malaysia section.

C.4.11 In addition, Malaysia section conducted two chapter chair meetings (similar to R10

AGM), which were held on 9th March 2019 and 23rd November 2019. For each meeting, Malaysia section sponsored the cost of venue and F&B. For each chapter chair, Malaysia section also sponsored the travel cost to attend the meetings.

C.5 Best Practices of your Section (which you would like to share with other

Sections for the benefits of members)

C.5.1 Each year, IEEE Malaysia organized a leadership camp for new chapter/AG/Subsection chairs, secretaries and treasurers. In this camp, the volunteers were given training on section management, vtools, SAMIEEE and other key information to assist them in organizing their activities. Similar camp was also organized each year for student branch volunteers with the content tailored to running student branches and student branch chapters.

C.5.2 IEEE Malaysia section conducted two meetings with the chapter chairs annually.

The first one was held on 9th March 2019 mainly to discuss best practices and activities planning for the year. The first half of the grants to the chapters are disbursed after the meeting, based on the activities plan submitted by the chapters. The second meeting was held on 23rd November 2019 to discuss important matters such as quality of conferences and reporting requirements and status of submissions in vTools and NetSuite. Important matters pertaining to the operations of IEEE Malaysia section were discussed in these meetings.

C.5.3 Senior member elevation workshops have also been organized by IEEE Malaysia

Section to assist members to elevate their grade to Senior Member. In 2019 we have organized 4 such workshops, which resulted in the elevation of 76 members in that year.

C.5.4 To improve our membership recruitment, the Section has, since 2016, carried out

the Member-Get-Member (MGM) reward program. This program is similar to the MGM program practiced at the HQ level, but to attract more members to participate, the Section has doubled up the reward by giving our own reward at the

44 [Date]

Section level. The rewards were disbursed during the AGM, which also increases the number of participations at the Section’s AGM.

C.6 Problems anticipated and suggestions for solutions, if any

The main problem faced by the section is to attract industry members. The number of industry members in Malaysia is relatively small compared to the members from academia and student members. One of the plans this year is to establish a support group consisting of active industry members, who could contribute to plan more industry-relevant programs and to provide additional local benefits especially to the members in the industry. This initiative is led by the executive committee member in charge of industry relations, who is also from the industry, supported directly by the section chair.

PART D – GOALS AND PLANS D.1 Continuation of project/activity in progress and their implementation plans

The Section will continue to support all activities that already in the pipeline from the previous years. Established annual activities such as the leadership camp, senior member elevation workshop, member-get-member rewards, SCOReD conference, FYP competition, student branch adoption, etc. will be continued. The Section will monitor all the activities including conferences to ensure the implementation of all activities are according to the IEEE By-laws and benefit the members. At the same time the Section will continue with activities that will nurture the IEEE Malaysia Student Branch so that they remain active and relevant to their community. Section will encourage more participation from Student Branches in embarking community work and social responsibility especially to the underserved community. In 2019, Malaysia section introduced a new portfolio on HAC and co-opted a member who is experience with HAC activities to chair the HAC portfolio. The objective of the HAC portfolio in 2019 was to create more awareness of HAC and the types of activities that are being conducted and the available funding that can be leveraged by the members. For 2020, we plan to conduct a hands-on workshop on HAC grant application in order to increase humanitarian activities conducted in Malaysia.

D.2 Goals and Future Plans D.2.1 The IEEE Malaysia Section goal is to be the leader of technical society for

electrical and electronic engineers in the country. We hope to increase the visibility of IEEE among the public and to enhance benefits to members by providing members with access to high quality technical information through lectures, short courses, workshops and conferences. The Section also plans to attract more members and upgrade the membership status of its members. We introduced a new portfolio on Strategic Communication as a platform to improve visibility of IEEE

45 [Date]

in the country. For 2020, Malaysia section plans to put high emphasis on the effort to convert student members to full members by collaborating with the YP affinity group.

D.3 Any innovative ideas to make IEEE more creative and value added for

sustaining the membership retention and recruitment goals. D.3.1 Malaysia section also introduced the Student Branch adoption program where we

recommended voluntary pair up of student branches with the relevant chapters that are geographically close to each other. The objective is to improve sustainability of the student branches which are also helping the chapters to conduct their activities by leveraging on the student branch members. That way, both student branches and the chapters win in this arrangement.

D.3.2 For many years, we face difficulty to attract industry members. Based on discussion with some active members from the industry, we believe by establishing a focus group with selected industry members who are already active would enable us to plan and conduct programs that are more relevant to the needs of these professionals and industry leaders. Hopefully this will help bring more industry members in Malaysia into IEEE.

D.4 Business Plan for Sustainable Growth and Financial Stability D.4.1 With a combination of good management, prudent spending as well as organizing

income generated activities; the Section has been able to sustain its growth and financial stability every year. Having successfully hosted the 2017 TENCON, the Section is currently still healthy financially. The SCOReD conferences also generate surplus that helps us fund some of the student activities.
