Reflection: Design Thinking Project

           After I take this program, I understood a lot of knowledge about technology and information system as a basic of my dream future career which is cyber security engineer, I want to make the world without any internet criminal such as hacking, virus-attacking and browser hijacking. Of course, dream is just a dream, I need to always improve myself anytime especially in this technology field because it keeps refreshing time to time, also I should always set a goal for my academic progression to make sure that I have a great performance whether in soft or hard skills. Overall, I hope that I can earn a strong foundation for my future before I take part in industry.

            The first project of this course, which is design thinking project, made me understood some theory of the process of making a program or software, this project helped me know about the process of problem solving in software or programming building. Besides, I also learned about the importance of team work because building a new system or software is not easy with one mate’s effort only. In addition, I realized that the process of problem solving is applicable in many other, I can say that it such a universal needed step to overcome a problem. For example, in car industry, if we want to make a new electric car model, we should determine the problem at first which might be the air pollution issue, then we identify what is the best design that we could make with our teammate within the process of brainstorming, prototyping and testing. Thus, this project helped me to figure out that how important of design thinking before a great product birth. 

            Honestly, in order to improve my potential in industry, I must practice my communication skills because this is the most significant skills in team-working. Hence, I should be brave while taking face-to-face with strangers such as my new classmate or lecturer. Furthermore, I should work hard in English writing skills too. As I mentioned in chapter presentation, we need to do a documentation for our team as a final report or description of the program and it also acts as a user manual for our client. Therefore, a good writing can provide a clear instruction to user, operator and programmer. As conclusion, l must take the attention away from my weakness, always contest with myself to build an excellent personality and potential of mine.
