Reflection
In my opinion, this industrial visit gave a big impact on my goal about my study. As a students of data science, the revolution of digitalisation is the only way from now. For all industries. I believe that adapting and investing in technology will save organisations a big chunk of money and allow for success and growth. Therefore, I will pay more effort during my study to get more understanding in my study as we will get a good opportunity for our future job. My goal is that I can build a system that can evaluate big data solutions within organizations.
The improvement or plan that necessary for me to improve me potential in the industry was to be more active involving myself in the program that initiative by Malaysia Government therefore I can learn more experience in those program for those coming revolution. As a good engineer, I should be able to have those skills that need by a data engineer. I also have to have an interaction and communication with other company to experience and know more about real-work experience. This can have improved myself to be more matured and not awkward in the future.
As there was a program offer by MDEC, I am interested to join this program because I can learn a lot of new knowledge and this can help me to get a brighter future. The program offers is benefit to the participator and we can learn skill in those program for the coming revolution and we will not weed out in this modernization era. Besides that, I interested to join Data Star program. The program is Science Finishing School for Graduates. This is because the programs provided an intensive data science and mentorship with experienced data scientist. By joining this program, I also have the possible placement after graduates with Data Star’s industry partners. Since I take major in Computer Science, this will be my specialty to join this program.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, we have known more about the ADAX authority in Malaysia by joining this industrial visit.
