Plastic Industries has exceptionally taught me a new, better and improved soft and technical skills that are beneficial in all aspects of working life. With consistent engagement in numerous hands-on activities, I was provided with multiple teamwork skills and was able to posses learning capacity by acquiring share of information from individual of different area of expertise. Sipro Plastic has been equipping me well with exposure of industrial knowledge and I highly appreciate it. Even though SIPRO's nature of business is mostly automotive and production technology, I managed to snatch a few basic engineering skills from the engineers that works in SIPRO. Some of the knowledge that I managed to acquire are in terms of engineering drawing, SOP of development stages, process flows, mechanical theories, logical thinking, calculations and many more. All of these bits of information are useful and I might find myself applying it in my future career as a Chemical Engineer. During this 17 weeks of hardships, I also manage to learn my strength and weaknesses while I was there. Honestly, I find myself lacking in some area such as computer-based skills (MS Excel, Catia), communication skills, and management skills. But it is all good because I managed to improve in those area of weakness. For example, I succeed in improving my skill at using Microsoft Excel by learning from my supervisor. I also succeed in improving my communication skills by learning from the administrator, Puan Rozi by asking for guidance in how to communicate with people from different department in order to execute the task given to me. In my opinion, this Industrial Training is a success. However, there were several deficit that I find during this industrial training period. One of it is the company was not prepared for internship students task during the corona virus pandemic. Because of this I had to discuss with my academic advisor on what activities to do in order to fulfill my remaining weeks of internship.
