Introduction
In USM, the learning experience is really different from matriculation and school. We do a lot of
assignments and project throughout the year. Plus, I can get to use CAD software and do a programming
which is I really do not know before I came to USM. But one thing that really surprise me is that USM is
exam based which means that the ability of student is based on exam not its practical work or skills.
Since we are at engineering campus, the study should be more on practical work. A lot of new
knowledge I get to learn in USM such as calculus, statics, fluid mechanics, CATIA and others. It quite an
experience studying in USM.
In addition, for the first time I am in the attachment program with the aircraft manufacturing
company under stress & design department. There I can see most of the time the engineer sat doing
their job in front of the computer. Some of them work 24 hour to catch the deadline that company such
as Airbus and Boeing already set for them. One the engineers said to me,
It is very good that you came to train as a trainee in our company. It gives you an early
exposure on how aircraft industries work. When you graduated, make sure you choose a job that you
really love to do, so that you dont feel that it is such as waste of time and one more thing, always keep
checking on market demand so that you can get places in the industries
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family,
Health and Spirit and youre keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a
rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls Family, Health, Friends and
Spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked,
damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends &
have proper rest.
