PROGRAM REPORT
On 26th November 2022, Persatuan Mahasiswa Sains Komputer Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (PERSAKA UTM), organized a workshop called 'Packet Tracer Workshop 2022’.The program was held at MP2, N28a, Faculty of Computing and was attended by a total of 23 participants. This program was one of the starter programs that are organized by PERSAKA UTM. The main goal of this program is to provide students with an overview and a better understanding about this application and also give them an opportunity to utilize the application with guidance from an expert. This application is widely used by computing students, especially students of networking and cyber security (SECR).
Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. Packet Tracer also offers an effective, interactive environment for learning networking concepts and protocols. Most importantly, Packet Tracer helps students and instructors create their own virtual “network worlds” for exploration, experimentation, and explanation of networking concepts and technologies.The speaker for this workshop was an alumnus of UTM, Mr Iskandar Zulqarnain Bin Mohd Ishak.

The activities in this event have given me an impact on the development of my graduate attributes. My thinking skill and leadership skills have improved due to understanding of my job and communicating with people while conducting the event. My active participation with the committee members has boosted my thinking skills a lot as I need to think fast and provide a solution in a short time because I need to think of a solution if any problem arises. From this activity, my adaptability skill also improved by learning how to adapt to the situation as the program was conducted physically hence as one of higher committee members that need to be actively interactive with the participants. The program that was held has been a very inspiring platform for the participants, especially those who were eager in exploring new knowledge and skills in the world of information technology nowadays. For instance, I need to bravely approach the participants to make sure that they understand and gain more input from the speaker. I must also believe in myself more while taking the responsibilities in completing certain tasks, whether it is an individual or group work. Not only that, I must also take the initiative to obtain new knowledge and skills from the others who are more experts and skillful than me. To sum up, this Packet Tracer program was a very suitable platform for the students to gain more knowledge as well as for those who are eager in improving their self-skills.
Challenges that I faced while being a secretary was I do not have any experience in dealing with secretaries jb and there were so many processes that I needed to go through. During the period of being in contact with the invited speaker, I have to keep updating and change all related documents according to what is needed. I could not get any guidance from higher committees in PERSAKA to guide me to complete all the secretaries jobs. Thankfully, PERSAKA committees me a lot during all processes even though there were a few miscommunications here and there. Honestly, handling this program helps me grow a lot in the point experience.
