- 2. INTRODUCTION Information related to technical knowledge is humongous in this information technology age. The knowledge includes classical theory, principle, understanding, know-how, philosophy, and technology that researchers and engineers developed and accumulated over years until up-to- date research outputs and new inventions of a particular field of interest. In general, this pool of knowledge is termed as “literature.” With this, researchers and engineers are able to save their precious time and resources NOT to reinventing the wheel; without any strong justification to repeat the work/experiment/procedure that had been done previously. Depending on current technology, literature in electronic and hardcopy format can easily be obtained and accessed using appropriate tools and techniques. The main challenges here are (1) to identify the genuine and reliability of the literature and (2) to convert those humongous literatures to useful knowledge that eventually benefits to the user. In this training course, the importance of literature review leading to form useful technical knowledge will be presented in an easy-to-follow manner. COURSE OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: i. Define the terms “information,” “literature” and “literature review.” ii. Explain the importance of literature review. iii. Determine the genuine and reliable information/literature. iv. Perform effectively literature review via systematic way. v. Correlate literature with intended knowledge to solve technical issues. COURSE METHODOLOGY This course is conducted in a seminar room. Each participant will receive a set of course materials. COURSE CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. What are information, literature, and literature review? 3. Importance of literature review. 4. Who should perform the review? 5. How to determine the genuine and reliable literature. 6. Duration of performing literature review. 7. Output of literature review. 8. Systematic procedure to conduct literature review. 9. Relationship of “Literature output – knowledge – problem.” COURSE CO-ORDINATOR ASSOC. PROF. DR. IR. CHEONG KUAN YEW Kuan Yew Cheong was born in Ipoh, Perak (1972) and received the B. Eng (1st Hons.) in Materials Engineering from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Malaysia in 1997.

He is also a Professional Engineers in Material Engineering disipline registered with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia. Honouring his excellent contribution in research, the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) has accoladed Dr Cheong with ‘Top Research Scientists Malaysia’ (TRSM) 2013. Outside university, he is very active in professional and community activities. He is a member of Materials Research Society (USA). He was the honorary treasurer for Electron Microscopy Society, Malaysia for year 2005/2006. Since 2005, he has been elected as one of the Ex-comms of the Institute of Electrical, Electronic Engineers (IEEE) – Component, Package, and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society and Electron Device Society (EDS), Malaysia Chapter. In addition, he serves as the Chairman (2009 – 2011) and Advisor (2011 – 2012) of the Electronic Engineering Technical Division (eETD) under The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM). He has been appointed as a Council Member of IEM from 2009 – 2012. For the past years, he has involved in organizing a number of local and international conferences and being invited to chair a few technical sessions in those conferences. Dr Cheong, who is a Certified PSMB Trainer, registered with the Ministry of Human Resource, Malaysia, has been delivering technical training courses for local and multinational industries for the past 5 years and more than 500 engineers and researchers have benefited from those courses.
