 As a realisation on the development of human aspects who are both physically and spiritually excellent, the Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV), Unversiti Sains Malaysia organised a hands-on human development programme for its MISDEV15.2 students (ISDEV Postgraduate Masters (Mixed-Mode) students). This programme is an annual programme that emphasizes on the practical aspect of human development as an enrichment to the theoretical aspects covered in the class in the third semester on Human Development (SVW502). At the same time, MISDEV 16.2 (ISDEV Postgraduate Masters (Mixed-Mode) students) has also organized a program called Tadabbur Alam in fulfilling the requirement of Islamic epistemology and Tasawwur course (SEW501). Both programmes were merged for the first time in ISDEV outdoor activities.
