Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Year 2

The CCC modules have challenged my critical and creative thinking, pushing me to explore and address real-world issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals. This has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the global challenges we face today. During the overseas sustainable innovation project in the Philippines, I was able to work with a diverse group of students from different cultural backgrounds. This experience provided a unique opportunity for cross-cultural interactions, where I gain a deeper understanding of their cultural practices, values, and perspectives. Engaging in collaborative problem-solving with these students allowed me to appreciate the importance of cultural sensitivity. Moreover, I was able to take the knowledge and skills I learnt in the classroom and apply them to real-world challenges during the project. This hands-on experience has also reinforced the concepts I learnt in class. Through the CCC modules, I built confidence in my ability to work with people I'm unfamiliar with and developed soft skills such as teamwork and problem-solving that I can use in future endeavors.
