As a data engineering student, I have always dreamed of myself sitting around a table with other data engineers where we share a lot information about technology and our inventions in the future. Besides, my goal with regard to my program is that I can always learn new things and explore more about the basic skills needed for me to become a better data engineer. The visit to CICT gallery has undeniably given me an inspiring motion on how I should keep on moving forward and try my best if I want to contribute something to the technology world. From the visit, I can conclude that innovations in this Information Technology (IT) field is endless as we cannot predict what could be invented next. All the IT components shown in the gallery can be the greatest examples on how the technology world has expanded and become like how it is now. The speaker who is one of the IT technicians in UTM also has given us, the computer science students explained clearly to us how they used the old components before and how they transited them to the new ones. It is so fascinating to learn that some of the components can still function very well.
This visit obviously gave me some new perspective in regard to my program. With that being said, while at the gallery, I learn that as a Data Engineering student, I have to bare in mind that I have to become more proactive in finding solutions to all problems that can be found in the program or innovation that i want to make. This can be proven as I learn about the pros and cons of all components, the inventors back then really had tried their best in improving all the components to become more user-friendly and can make our life a lot easier. For instance, the camera back then was really large and hard to carry together. But, cameras nowadays are small but can give a better resolution. The same thing as data engineers, they have to always think on how to give advancement to a system or program so it can be easily used by all people.
Lastly, this visit also has made me realize that there is a lot of things that I still yet to learn. The necessary action that I need to take is that I should not stop learning and should start doing researches about the IT field in order to become a great data engineer. In addition, in order to learn new things, I have to pay attention closely to the things that happen in my life. Innovations are always far from over. That being said, a lot of things I can do if I pay more attention to all things and look on the data engineers’ side.
