Fatehah's Reflection

On 28 October 2018, my courses involved in a short educational trip to TWI-ABM Training & Certification Sdn Bhd located at Tampoi, Johor Bahru. Basically, this trip was to give exposure to me and my classmate regarding one of our welding subject which was Welding Inspection. Interestingly, the reason why we choose to do our trip to this training centre was because this place provided us a realistic practical testing that can't be shown at our university. 

At the TWI Training centre, our tour started with a few introductory sessions by one of the instructors about the programs offered by the training center as well as the benefits that students could gain when they choose to study there. During this session, i learnt that there are a lots of other welding field and focus that i didn't expose to before and it somehow give me the urge to learnt deeper and share the knowledge with other people especially for my future students. The instructor then show us their surrounding workplace and the testing room and i'm quite fascinated with the tour because i couldn't see these kind of thing at my university. This was actually a very good trip and marvelous experience that i shouldn't missed and couldn't get at other places.

After some tour session, we took some break before continuing our trip further. The next session were some demonstration and practical testing by the instructor for a few kind of Non-Destructive Test (NDT) which were magnetic test and dye penetration test. I used to watch video online on how do the testing but seeing it done in front of my eyes was very impressive. Few of my friends also had the chance to do the testing by themselves and get to experience it by themselves which made the trip more useful and interesting. After the demonstration session, the instructor brought us back to the conference room and gave a short but useful briefing about some of their short programme which could benefits us in many way. The tour ends with a few closing speech made by the instructor and our trip director and also some consolation session and photo session in front of the TWI building.

Last but not least, i learned a lot from this trip and i felt that all of those theory learning that i get during classes benefits me in many ways while going through this whole trip. The knowledge and information that i get from this trip helps me in becoming a more knowledgeable person and encouraged me to do better in this field so that i could be the best teacher and give the best experience with my future workplace and students.
