In this current state of rapid advancement in technological breakthrough in major field of industries, engineers are faced with the challenges to systematically analyze information and apply a holistic approach to design solution, so how is an engineer train to be equip this amazing skill?
In my opinion, I felt that one need to possess a burning passion to make things happen on the ground while faced with challenges and problems. Through tertiary education in Polytechnic and University, I as an engineering student am taught with the relevant knowledge to breakdown complicated info and try out several solutions in search for the most feasible one. Through project works, engineers-to-be are able to relate application to real life problems, grinding not only our critical thinking skill, but also bring out our character of persevering through many failed attempt in the methodology adopted to solve the problems. Internship and exchange programs let us have a better grasp of the reality of the outside workforce better. Though we can partially apply what we learnt, it is still the invaluable experience shared and “feeling” while doing hands on did we have a better understanding of the different systematic approach we could have to the challenges to come.
In the industry, engineers are sent to courses to better grasp the general approach to their projects in their relevant field of specialization, right from defining a problem, to the methodology and implementation of analysis, finally to sustaining and ever improving the implementation. In large organization or seminars, engineers from sisters companies get together to share their own ways to complex problems they faced and from these sessions did each individual tried to fuse together what they had learnt to get an improvised methodology.
Engineers have to be updated in current trend and always keep a look out for opportunities to venture to. In this competitive industries, not only did they faced with the challenges of implementing the best approach to solution, they also faced an invisible enemy “time”, where they have to come out with the best solution within their available shortest time to be on the same competing ground as their competitors.

After reading your first post, I realised that you have made great improvement in your grammar as compared to your writing assignment 2. WA2 has less run on sentences and less mistakes on subject verb agreement (almost none). I'm sure if we are consious in writing report in the futre, all the grammar mistakes will be eliminated.
