REFLECTIONS
The talk session seems very important for us because there are so many new things to learn and reflect. The alumni did a great job sharing the information and explaining the material presented to us. We need to learn and have a strong fundamental knowledge in order to survive and face the real world and have a good enough probability to have a good job in the future. Not only that, but also the importance of teamwork is crucial, because everything we do in the future will involve a team. I am really happy that I can learn a lot from this Industrial Talk, it makes me more motivated to be more confident and to be more active. And because those who spoke were UTM alumni, they mentioned a lot about their former campus life, this made me very excited.
