They all gathered here to engage on an exercise of “Mock Arbitration” and enhance the students’ skill and understanding of arbitration proceedings. Mock arbitration is similar to role play exercise involving parties presenting arguments before mock panel of arbitrators relating actual or hypothetical disputes. It generally reflects the actual arbitration proceedings. It may be designed in various structures according to the purpose of the exercise.
Arbitration institutions organised mock arbitration workshops to enhance their members’ quality and experiences on arbitration proceedings. Mock arbitration involves presenting summary arguments parallel with the arbitration structure to a panel of mock arbitrators chosen to reflect your actual arbitrator or arbitration panel. It helped student to play these three roles: critic, fact finder and advisor.
By conducting this event, lecturer and professionals will be able to evaluate students’ skills and knowledge on arbitration; students present their arguments before real judges as arbitrators.

Global Outreach Programme themed Building Information Modeling Exploration Journey 2016 (GOP BIMEJ ’16) to Perth, Australia was carried out on the 3rd April till 8th April 2016. The programme was organized by a group of eight Bachelor in Quantity Surveying students and one Msc. in Construction Contract Management student from the Department of Quantity Surveying, Faculty of Built Environment, accompanied by Dr Kherun Nita Ali and Assoc. Prof. Dr Nur Emma Mustaffa. It was aimed to acquire knowledge on Building Information Modeling (BIM) from research centres in Curtin University, namely, the Australasian Joint Research Centre for BIM and Curtin HIVE (Hub for Immersive Visualization and eResearch). Since Universiti Teknologi Malaysia has established our own BIM Research Centre, the knowledge gained from this program could contribute to the development of the centre by setting Curtin University as the role model for success. The program will lead us to future collaboration with Curtin University such as exchange student program, joint research, and educational visits to other universities. Improvement could be seen in the students’ leadership, confidence level and communication skills during the open discussion with Curtin University’s academic staff and students. The students were very attentive and analytical in directing questions during the participation in existing classes and visit to the research centres. The program was a huge success in creating more analytical, knowledgeable and broad-minded students.
