Being part of the Engineering Seminar is one of the things that I wanted to be thankful for. There are so many lessons that I have learned in this course such as being responsible on time, decision making, career choice, and a lot of wisdom that I get from our lecturers and speakers during our seminars and fishbowl discussions. Moreover, I learned that being a member of a team should also be an active member in supporting the group since it will serve as Internal support to the whole group. While as for the leader, it is imperative that he/she has courage and integrity to boost the members' self-esteem. As a result of our activities and discussion yesterday, all that came to my mind was “communication and teamwork”.
As an engineering student, communication skills are important for presenting concepts and designs and are critical to the engineering design process. Hence, Engineers with the ability to clearly communicate can confidently present their ideas to decision-makers in presentations, meetings, and reports. Engineering Seminar (3101) is important to us students in view of the fact that it helps us improve our communication skills in an effective manner which is essential in our future careers. Hence, this course will motivate us to be confident in dealing with different situations that we may encounter. A saying goes "No man is an island." No one person can be everything to everyone. Functioning in a team is sometimes required, but working successfully in a group is possible. Learning how to accomplish this successfully and applying all of the above steps with your peers is the greatest approach to guarantee that you are on track to meet your objectives while also establishing a positive atmosphere at work. In addition, I would also to include ethics in my personal learnings since it provides a framework for categorizing discipline, honesty, and integrity in the actions we perform throughout the day. Individuals are more likely to follow rules and act responsibly when ethics act as a guideline to influence behavior and make the right choice. Therefore, ethics play a crucial role in the smooth running of education.
In conclusion, this course gives light and visions to engineering students like me. I wanted to say thank you to Dr Makhfudzah for the love, guidance and support to us.
