Technology and Information System (TIS) is a core subject for students in pursuing studies in the field of Computer Science. This course has introduced students to information system (IS) and information technology (IT), as well as its purposes in daily life. Practical works in the labs comprise a major part of the study and therefore students will also be equipped with basic skills in handling PC installation and productivity tools. At the end of the course, students should be able to explain the parts of an information system including software, hardware, data, and the Internet and meanwhile to distinguish between the kinds of system software programs. Aspects of IS and IT including network, communications, graphics and multimedia will be included during the learning session.

As reflections, this course of Technology and Information System exposed me to get in contact with the technology system knowledge. This gives us a pre-understanding of how technology system works to suit human needs in daily life. As a student in the field of Bioinformatics, my goal is to implement the current technology especially in the Bioinformatics research. Moreover,I learnt that teamwork spirits and communication between group members play vital roles in the process of accomplishing group project, "Design Thinking". This "Design Thinking" project promotes the need of critical thinking. Our group has designed and produced a prototype that involving solving the problem encountered at the ATM machines.
Here's the video link for the prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN_DU6MaTW4

Furthermore, on 4 November 2019, there was a PC Assembly session conducted by our lecturer, Dr.Zuraini Binti Ali Shah, assisted by lab assistants, in Makmal Inovasi Perisian, Level 3, N28. During the session, my group members and I learn to build assemble a computer step by step. and we were able to take a close look on the components of a PC such as RAM. After that, there was a Quiz session to answer the questions in order to strengthen the knowledge gained.
