Participating in the alumni talk had a significant impact on my academics and adaptability. The activities provided me with valuable information and insights into the aeronautics industry, including emerging technologies and career opportunities. The speaker shared his experience and perspective on the industry, which helped me to understand the practical applications of the concepts I had learned in my courses. Furthermore, the event provided me an opportunity to engage in discussions with the speaker and other attendees, and I was able to practice my communication skills by asking questions and contributing to the conversations. Additionally, the event emphasized the importance of adaptability in the field, which encouraged me to be more open-minded and flexible in my approach to learning and problem-solving.
As an aeronautics student, I had a strong foundation in the concepts and terminology discussed during the event. This allowed me to actively engage in the activities and contribute to the discussions as a participant. However, one of the main challenges I faced during the alumni talk was staying focused and engaged throughout the entire session. The event was held online, and it was easy to become distracted by other tasks or to lose focus due to screen fatigue. To overcome this challenge, I took breaks when needed to rest my eyes and refocus my attention. I also actively participated in the activities by asking questions and contributing to the discussions, which helped me to stay engaged and invested in the event.
Overall, participating in the online aeronautics alumni talk was a valuable experience for me as an aeronautics student and I left the event feeling better prepared for my future career in aeronautics.
