Rex's Reflection | REX NG's Profile

In this course, I have enhanced my knowledge of the Profesional World as an engineer in future.

I have grouped with another 2 members to present our research on the title of "Engineers VS Technologist". With this experience, I learn about the difference and similarity between this 2 professions and have further understood the job scope of them which is very helpful for me in my future career.

Besides that, I have grouped with another 6 members to complete an assignment with the title " Electrical Public Transport Replacing Conventional Public Transport in Malaysia". With this assignment, I get to know the potential of electrical transport to be marketable in Malaysia for future industry.  Electrical Transport definitely full of potential where it reduces pollution and more our life easier.

Conclusion, this course is very useful to all the graduating engineers.
