The second class

For the last week of Electronics System class, Dr. Kamal continued his lecture about the fourth Course Learning Outcome, that is for recognizing the importance of good conduct and healthier environment in developing personal values as well as the society as a whole. For me, a good conduct is all about the humanity, harmony with divine law, and it reflects someone's lifestyle and their attitude. Without the good conduct our lives will become disorder and severe as there are no discipline, honesty, goods and pure natures to shape up our lives.


In my opinion, the good conduct should be practiced by people everyday starting from the infancy until the death. For muslim (including me), we are asked by our god, the only god, Allah, The Most Merciful to be a good and responsible human, and always practice the good conduct in our whole lives. But I think, all religions other than Islam also asked their followers to be the same. Should there is no person having lackness of pure natures in his life. In case, there are people who dont believe in God.


As a student like me, the good conduct can be practiced and valued by how we behave with friends, the lecturers and public. The way we communicate will reflect our attitudes and true behaviors. Other than that, we can train ourselves to be a disciplined person by practicing to submit the assignments or homeworks given by the lecturers on time.


In the future, if we practice the good conduct from the beginning, it will be easier when we work in a workplace as a society. By that time, we have to be prepared ourselves with these things because in the worklife, good conduct is very important.

In the class, Dr. Kamal showed us two examples of good conduct. The one was about The Honda's Brake Defect. In 23 Oct 2011, Honda Motor Co. recalled of nearly 528,000 vehicles worldwide to prevent the unlikely failure of a seal in the brake master cylinder. This showed that the Honda Motor Co. is responsible to their products. Although, it will take a high cost to recall the cars, the customers' rights always be the first. To read more click Honda's Brake Defect.


Another one example showed in the slide was about a Magical Hard Drive. A customer bought the 500Gb hard drive but magically when he put a video file in the hard drive, it will show only the last five minutes of the video when it is played. A very magical trick when he knew that the size of the hard drive is only 128Mb.




When the hard drive is opened,it looks like this:





At the end of the class, Dr. Kamal explained about the 5S means Sort, Stabilize, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Said Dr. Kamal, these five S are not only a housekeeping and cleanliness, but they likely more about to change the lifestyle and attitude of students.


 I think this is a little bit about the last week class. I will keep this blog updated for the next and next class. So,just wait and see. By~
