in our chosen courses that is Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing).By doing this assignment we have discovered how vast the chances for us to be hired after our graduation and at the same time we can prepare ourselves to face the requirement to become a succesfull professional engineer in the future.
By doing this assignment,we have done
a lot of research on jobs advertisement and what we have found out are: There are a lot of jobs waiting us if we really work hard to become a professional engineer. There are branches scope of engineer in engineering field especially for us mechanical engineering student. The major requirement that are needed to grab a job are technical skills, ICT skills and Interpersonal skills.
In aspect of technical skills most company demand
: A working experience,usually they needed an engineer with 1-10 year and it must be related with the job prospect. The engineer also need to be familiar with tools, machine and paper work for that kind of job. Engineer who possess strong engineering and analytical skills Engineer with knowledge in basic statistical and quality tools knowledge.
To become a success engineer ICT skills is one
of the skills that we have to mastered.This is because most company try to find engineer with:
Strong computer literacy (MS project, Excel &
AutoCAD) Knowledge of software such as e-Tank, Coade Tank, PVElite, AutoCAD, CADWorx, CAESAR II, Autopipe, Pipe Flow Expert, and other required software Skills in CNC Programming and Cutting Tools Management
If you asking me what makes us different from other
engineers , then the answer is interpersonal skills because this is the only that will burst up our advantages to compete with other qualify engineers .This is because most company nowadays need an engineer whom:
Able to communicate effectively in English,Bahasa Malaysia
and other languages. good communication skills with the ability to work independently within a team.. Able to work under pressure Experience in coordinating engineering contractor and claims avoidance management desired Independent and able to work under pressure and multitasking environment Leadership Skills
From our opinion base on the research that
we have done, most of the employer nowadays are more passionate with a workers with strong interpersonal skills. This is because: The person with strong interpersonal skills usually will have a great confidence with their work. The company knows their position will be even firm with the workers like this. The company will be more eager to give the big responsibility to this type of worker.
We can conclude that we as an employee in
engineering field must have many skills , not only having a good CGPA but skills that cannot be learn in classes or lecture halls that is a skill like the interpersonal skills. Other skills, need more improvement than what we have done in our classes because we will compete with everyone that have a same lesson that we have whether the same skills, software, tools or machinery. Lastly, we can said that a high CGPA is good but with other skills it will be more promising in getting what we yearning for.
