L:”As a MJIIT Student, the most unforgettable experience would be the chances to connect with Japanese Culture. We are required to learn Japanese Language in MJIIT which open many doors of opportunity for us. MJIIT also hosted Japan day each year to introduce Japanese Culture to the students. I was also lucky to be given the chances to go to Japan not only once but twice which were Student Exchange through AIMS program and Internship program. Besides that, as a CPE student in MJIIT, I had gone through the busiest Final Year, which we had to complete our Plant Design Project and Final Year Project at the same time while also not neglecting other subjects. Thus, the Final Year was the most challenging year, which we need to excel in time management, handle the workload together as a team and perform efficient communication between Supervisor and Teammate during discussion for fruitful outcome. Through this Final Year Experience, we have grown up to become a more versatile graduate with good interpersonal skills and technical knowledge.”
