The
date I first step into Vision College as an employee.
2nd
March 2016
The
date I first entered class as a lecturer to teach my new students.
My
first thought when I walked into my first class was like…..
”Sikitnya
student aku..”
Therefore,
with that my journey as a lecturer begins at Vision College.
Besides
being a lecturer, I am also a Programme Coordinator (PC)
for my programme, which is Diploma In Biomedical Technology or known
as DBT. This course is a new course in this college. So, that
explains why the number of students are lesser compared to the other
programmes.
I
would like to share with all of you a little bit about DBT programme,
Biomedical
Technology is one of the raising courses specifically in Malaysia.
The students learn
about handling medical equipments that are
used at hospitals or
clinics. This scope of study emerged since there
is a large number of hospitals that are equipped with high-tech
medical equipment, but they
are lack of trained personal or manpower
to carry out the maintenance,
upgrade and troubleshoot
of the equipments.
This
has resulted in downtime and shorter lifespan on the equipment.. So,
that is the reason why we really need the
expertise in this area.
Therefore,
in order to fulfill what is required in the market, the students will
need to study on the Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Biochemistry,
Biomedical Electronics, Biomedical Devices, Biomedical In Engineering
Physics and etc. This programme takes three (3) years to complete.
After
about 5 months working here, I can say that I enjoy the working
environment at Vision College. The staff over here are friendly and
helpful and most importantly, I am able to attain formal working
experience at Vision College after graduating from my postgraduate
degree at International Islamic University in November 2015.
I
think this first official job for me is like a sustenance before I
get married as I am now a happy wife to my dearest husband and a
caring lecturer to my dear students.
Although I am married, my students still call me Miss Sha ... hehehe ... Forever 'Miss' instead of 'Mrs'.
