What is an Engineer ?

 

Form 5:

• Do all the maths and physics calculations
• It's a cool occupation
• Can earn a lot of $$$

University:

• Almost everything around us is built by engineers
• Consist of subjects that make my head burst
• Study almost EVERYTHING
• From fluid to solid structures
• From temperature to pressure
• Workshop to Computer Design
• AND I THOUGHT MECHANICAL ENGINEERS ARE SUPERMAN, THEY MUST KNOW EVERYTHING !!!
• Wat we learned has no practical use in our working days?

 

Practical (Mechanical Maintainance Department) :

• Dirty working environment
• Dangerous working environment:
• 20 tons of steel coil hanging just 2 meters above
• Exposure to Hydrocloric Acid
• Exposure to Alkaline (More corrosive than Acid)
• Heating temperature as high as 500 °C
• Overhead cranes moving everywhere, always look above when traveling within the factory
• 8 am to 530 pm working hours, with 1 hour lunch break
• 24-hour On Call, means u have to come for work at 3 am in the morning if there's any machine breakdown
• Solve any problems regarding the machines
• Replacing a spare part is complicated:
• Must find the lowest supplier that provides the same spare part
• Must work within the given budget, overbudget will led you to the manager room
• If a spare part is not available, design and fabrication is required
• WE USE THE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM UNIVERSITY (maybe for Maintainance Dept only)
