My goals for this program
As I enter University Technology Malaysia, my goal is to be successful in all things, including academics, sports, and also with the club. I really wanted to become a computer forensic analyst or work in the cybersecurity field after I graduated from UTM and work with big companies such as Google or Cybersecurity Malaysia. I hope I can meet all the requirements to become an advanced computer forensic analyst. In the future, I wish to become very expert and skillful in this field. Thus, I must have all the qualifications needed to become an outstanding engineer. The course I am studying at UTM is computer network and security. My ultimate goal is to start a tech start-up and successfully scale it while providing a solution to people’s problems and improving their lifestyle.
Furthermore, as my ambition is more about business and technology entrepreneurship, I have to improve my corporate knowledge, communication skills, and constantly be up to date with the current issues in the computer science field in order to innovate. I need to have extensive knowledge of computer hardware, network frameworks, IP addressing, firewalls, routing, and troubleshooting, for example. I also plan to build new network systems that can help many people in our country and the world to have a better life. My goal is also to learn and gain valuable knowledge regarding information systems. In today’s modern day and time, it is crucial for students who wish to venture into the world of technology to be equipped with ample knowledge. I hope to be able to apply the invaluable knowledge I gained in this course when I enter the workforce in the near future and be a valuable member of society by contributing to the betterment of my community, society, and country. This programme has opened my eyes and mind to the possibilities of today’s technology and has been a guide for me to prepare myself before entering the workforce. As a computer science student, it is very important to be creative in inventing new projects and services.
My other goal is good time management. Time management is the ability to plan and control how you spend your day effectively to achieve your goals. Many students find it difficult to manage their time well, whether they are trying to adjust to academic responsibilities such as just going to class, trying to meet the ongoing demands of each class, such as studying, or trying to complete various tasks that need to be completed before the deadline. Time management techniques include setting goals and priorities, planning and scheduling specific activities, which help us balance both academic and personal tasks on time. My next goal is to improve my English communication skills. As a computer science student, English is the most important language for us because it is of major significance for job seekers in any field, such as technology, marketing, and so on. Being good at English not only helps in the classroom but also increases our confidence level.
Action/improvement/plan necessary for me to improve my performance
In order to improve myself, I will keep an open mind, gain more experience, always keep on learning, and never give up on my passion for technology. I have always believed that having a burning passion would act as a drive for me to achieve my goals.
I have been exposed to programming and robotics since I was in secondary school. Thus, I have the passion to be a computer forensic analyst in the future to accomplish my dream. I hope that I will be equipped with all the requirements for being a successful computer forensic analyst when I complete my course.
Also, there are many things that I need to do to improve my potential in the industry. I need to improve both my soft and hard skills. Effective communication skills, which are important for presenting ideas and listening to problems; teamwork, which is the ability to work with others without being discriminated against; and problem-solving skills that produce creative and fast solutions, will ensure any type of project conducted by the engineer will run smoothly. I also need to be aware and to become a fast learner of the latest technologies as they rapidly grow. Lastly, I need to attend lots of talks, courses, and seminars to enhance my knowledge.
I have also planned to improve myself to become a more potential employee and blend with society. I need to join a club that can teach me more soft skills so that I can get all the experience that really matters to boost my strength in all aspects. I also need to learn a good way to communicate with people so that it will be beneficial for me to keep a good job in all situations. Lastly, I need to be positive while facing any task that I may have in the future.
