Students perceptions on infusion of Islamic perspectives in the teaching of engineering subjects: IIUM case study

Issues pertaining to the Islamisation of education (IoE) are presently being highlighted in higher learning institutions (HLI) in Malaysia and being discussed in certain education conferences. The scholars in the area are emphasizing the advantages of having IoE, and some of the HLI are taking certa...
