Have a good day
They said I need to have a e portfolio
to graduate so why not make it colorful.
Dear lecturer, the assignment is down below.
To students reading this, LinkedIn is better.
Executive Summary- Professional Engineering Practice
BEM Code of Professional Conduct
Presenter : Ir Juraimi Masood, General Manager
of Project Integration at PTP
Title : Professional Journey as an Engineer
Date, Time & Venue : 17th April 2018, 2.30-4.00pm, L50 DK1 UTM
This seminar was delivered by an experienced professional engineer that have been in the industry for more than a decade. Ir Juraimi started working in PTP on the year 1997. He told us that the most important thing for all the fresh graduates to do is always believe that sky is the limit in whatever they are doing in the future. Do not stop improving and keep moving although there are, for sure, lots of obstructions ahead of us.
He mainly told us about the unrealistic expectation of graduates when entering the workforce. Many fresh graduates are having high expectation in terms of salary and trying not to work hard for it. Furthermore, he also addressed the issue having good socials skills which is vital in the working environment. This issue is causing a huge dilemma for the manager overall. He also rated the employer's expectations from the view of the managers. The list is as below.
1. Having in-depth technical competence in specific
engineering discipline --4.27
2. Function effectively in a group as a leader /
effective team member --4.23
3. Ability to acquire and apply knowledge of
engineering fundamentals --3.97
4. Communicate effectively to colleague &
community at large --3.97
5. Ability to understand problem identification ,
formulation and solution --3.57
6. Ability to utilize approach to design and
evaluate operational performance --3.57
7. Have social awareness on sustainable
development --3.57
8. Able to design and conduct experiments,
as well as to analyse and interpretdata. --3.47
At the end of the seminar, I learnt a lot from the speaker from his golden advice and experience sharing. It prompted me to work hard with goal to become a professional engineering to make this world a better place.
E-waste impacts/ pollution
E-waste even though making up of only 2% trash in landfills but it contains nearly 70% of the toxic metals. This proves how lethal it can be to the environment and to our human health. The are three main ways e-waste can profoundly impact the environment.
First and foremost, air can be contaminated during the recycling process which mainly involves combustion. The release of harmful substances can easily damage the respiratory system if not protected. Furthermore, the release of fine particles can travel very long distances and impact people from 100 kilometers away which can induce chronic diseases and cancer. As for the ecosystem, some species on animals and plants can be more impacted than others. Once affected it can disturb the balance of the food chain thus the whole ecosystem. This can create damaging and irreversible changes to the ecosystem.
Secondly, soil also can be contaminated by e-waste. There are two main ways it can be affected which is through direct contact with the contaminants from e-waste or indirect contact through irrigation from contaminated water. When not properly disposed, the heavy metals found in e-waste can leach directly into the soil can cause contamination of underlying groundwater which can damage the crops or soil quality overall. Fundamentally, heavy metals (from improper e-waste disposal and incomplete recycling activities), PBDEs (from burning, shredding, and dismantling), dioxins/furans (from incomplete burning) and acidification from recycling practices which involve leaching change the composition of soil in unpredictable and complex ways. These changes can be very harmful to micro-organisms in the soil and plants, as well as animals and wildlife that rely on these plants for survival.
Thirdly, water can be contaminated by e-waste also either via landfills or through improper recycling and subsequent disposal of e-waste. Acids used to extract precious metals from e-waste can seep into local waters and can cause acidification. This can lead to killing of aquatic organism and disrupt the overall ecosystem. Moreover, with the contamination of many dangerous particles into the water, it can cause sever damage to the human system when in contact. It can cause havoc on the body leading to cancer and can impact the nervous system. No longer can exposure to heavy metals be considered one at a time. Instead, it is the sum of heavy metals to which a person is exposed that determines the ultimately severity of the health impact.
