After attending two classes that day, I finally come to the class that my senior said 'quite deadly'. It is the Separation Process class. Nothing seems deadly when the lecturer came into class. Aged about 60, decent voice, and seems professional is something that I can't imagine the deadliness of this class. Then, it all change when the regulation for the class are told. The regulation for test score is quite shocking because the possible score you can get is 0,1,60 or 100. Class become noisy due to this regulation. I was waiting for his explanation about this rule.
"Imagine if you drive, you know how to steer, move forward, move backward but you can break. Do I feel comfortable when you drive my car?" That analogy has very deep meaning for what I have been doing in my study. Sometimes I forget that being an engineer candidate, we must know the fundamental knowledge not partially but comprehensive. Knowing what we study partially not only lower our credibility later as engineer, but also endanger our work environment. Lack of knowledge of theory and its application will make our decision for certain problem become inappropriate.
That moment, I realized that learning have to be comprehensive and rich in fundamental concept. Some graduates just study so that they can pass the test without knowing what they read and just read which question most likely to appear in test. These graduates are the one that going to regret the time they spend for not enriching their knowledge so they can become the real professional engineer in the future. This mind set must be reset so that graduate from campus can become the professional.
