Recently I attended a talk organised by the BASE (Brunei Association of Science Education) on Plank's Constant. The talk was given by Aijaz Ahmad, Director of AEC (Architectural & Enginnering Consulting) Group from Pakistan.
When Cikgu Makaremi, President of BASE is introducing him at the beginning of the talk, I was amazed about his carreer and the society group that he is involved with. All are related to Physics. He then elaborated more on his work, skill and knowledge that he had shared with students in Pakistan, United Kingdom and even Brunei Darussalam, in ITB. One of his project that he had done in the previous 2 or 3 years ago in ITB was 'Conservation of Energy at Home'.
Anyway, he started off with how Plank's Constant can be introduced to Physics education in an understandable method. He believed that through biography of famous Scientists and Physicists from the birth of civilisation until now would be much helpful in this case. Let's leave that to other Physics educators to decide.
I really impressed on his slides show of all the famous Physicists and their contribution that leads to Quantum Physics especially in Plank's constant. Some how, there are more mysteries out there which are yet to be explained and discovered as now the Physicists are looking at accelerators to study more about atom.
Apart from that, I would like to quote few of his statements saying that ' Physicist can be an engineer, but engineer cannot be a Physicist.' Physicists can also be marketing manager, or even chairman for any problem solving society as their works are based on problem solving. I can agreed on that.
So for those Physicists or Physics Students, be proud of who you are now. Who knows one day you might be a great leader one day. Arious!
