MY REFLECTIONS

First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to my wonderful lecturers. i am blessed to have the chance of having all of you as my lecturers. I also want to thank Dr. Izyan Izzati for always being considerate to me and my friends. Even though there are a lot of assignments for this subject, I was not stressed as Dr gave me enough time to complete it. With Dr. Izyan izzati and other lecturers' guidance and constant motivation, I succeed to survive my first semester as a student of UTM.
In my opinion, This subject has helped me a lot particularly in terms of gaining new knowledge about current technologies. For instance, I only knew the existence of Wi-fi 6 only after hearing one of the Industrial Talks on this subject. I am also able to increase my skills in editing and designing since I used a lot of graphic design tools such as Canva to accomplish the assignments. During the latest assignment, I have learned the process of visualizing data which is very interesting and a skill that I had never considered studying before. I also have been introduced and taught to use Microsoft Power BI which is a data analytic software that most big companies are using nowadays, which is pretty amazing. The most important part of this subject is that I have been trained to work as part of a team. This is due to the fact that all of TIS's assignments and project requires group work. This subject has considerably improved my teamwork skills. Lastly, I would like to thank my teammates Abdullah, Moataz, Malek and Eikisha for the great teamwork!
I believe to succeed in any industry sector, I have to be highly skilled and have my own special attributes. Therefore, I have to improve my skills by exploring new and various programming languages. Currently, I am learning how to use React Js which is a framework for web development, and next, I will be exploring flutter which is for mobile application development. I believe by expanding my knowledge in every programming language, I can stay relevant and also become flexible in the industry. Lastly, I will be creating a lot of projects to implement the programming language that I have learned and increase my understanding of it. This will help me to gain experience in facing real problems in developing projects. Hence, I am able to learn to solve it and prepare me in facing the upcoming challenges in the future.
I want to learn and gain as much knowledge as possible during my four years of studies at UTM in order to become a good and competent software engineer. My dream is to work at a company where my brother (who is also working as a software engineer) is now employed since he has informed me that the environment there is wonderful. That will be a fantastic opportunity for me to improve my skills and get experience before moving on to a new and larger company. I believe that finding a job as a software engineer is not tough because the world's technology is progressing and a large number of software engineers are needed as time goes on.
ASSIGNMENTS & PROJECTS REFLECTIONS

Reflection: This project was both the most enjoyable and the most challenging assignment for this subject, in my opinion. Basically, we need to design applications that will solve some problems in society. My colleagues and I decided to build Family Plus, an application that helps families stay organized. Personally, I believe the application's concept is really interesting and that it should be developed.
The most enjoyable part of this project was the process from the moment we obtained the idea until we finished the details. It was fascinating to me the way we communicated and changed ideas till we came up with the idea for this app. The drawback of this project was that it took a long time to complete and there are many things we need to write and perform. Overall, this was a valuable experience for me, and I believe it will help me during my studies at UTM.
Reflection: For this assignment, my team and I have to create an online data analytic dashboard report using Microsoft Power BI. It was our first time using the software, and thankfully, it wasn't too difficult for new users like us. The main challenge we had in finishing this task was deciding on suitable datasets that we can elaborate more on it. The next challenge was determining the relationship between data in order to generate a proper and visually appealing graphic. Fortunately, we were able to finish it with the assistance of my teammates, who are quite good at using the Power Bi. This experience, in my opinion, was really valuable since it taught me the actual method of visualizing the data that we obtained on the internet.
Reflection: I was having a great time finishing this task. My contribution was creating a magazine for the implementation of 5G in Smart Campus. I was able to use all of my imagination in creating the magazine layout, which was fortunately not too horrible. At the same time, I learned more about smart campus and how it is now influencing my students' lives. As I watched Industrial Talk 5 and 6, I learned about 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and network structure.
Reflection: For Assignment 2, my team and I have to create three newsletters for a cloud computing service provider, industrial Talk 3, and industrial Talk 4. I learned how to create newsletters and what the specifications are, such as applying justify alignment, must include the date, and a lot more. It was a lot of fun learning it. I was also able to improve my skills in utilizing Canva online, a graphic design tool that we used to complete this task.
Reflection: To accomplish this project, I must watch two industrial talk videos, Industrial Talk 1 and Industrial Talk 2 . As a result, I was able to obtain fresh knowledge and specifics about what the Fourth Industrial Revolution is and how it affects the globe. In talk 2, I was also introduced to CyberSecurity Malaysia, an organization devoted to providing Malaysians with best practices, awareness, training, and security information. I was having trouble at first attempting to create a poster for this assignment because it was my first time doing so and I was very new in using Canva online. For me, it was a whole new experience.
