SOCIT Team Building May 2009

On the 16, 17 and 18^th of May, 2009. SOCIT organized a Team Building Camp in collaboration with Inti’s Team Building Office and 4 members from Frisbee team. The camp is held in Nature Lodge, Penang Hill. The camp is coordinated by our very own Mr. Edmund Tan from TBO.The actual purpose of the team building camp is to remove the gap between the new semester students and students from the earlier semester. Not only has it h elped to bond the students in SOCIT, the participants also learned several essential objectives that are needed to be and form a team, such as leadership, communication, individual talent and commitment. Most of the things that we learned are mainly through games and activity held at nature lodge. Games such as charades where we learned communication skills with team members and also to develop our individual talents and skills. Volley Bomb, a game where team coordination among team members is a must to achieve our goals. Throughout the games, we also learned to have a strong commitment towards ourselves and to our team. Students of SOCIT can now communicate better with each other as they have broken the gap that divides the student from different semesters. We no longer ignore each other when we meet in the canteen or any part of the school. The Team Building session also have cultivate a strong sense of belonging to SOCIT among IT students and directly make them to be more active and participative in all collge activities organized by IICP. The effect of the camp is also quite fruitful as SOCIT has established it’s very own Research and Development division (a subsidiary division of E-learners) where students from SOCIT can share and discuss their problem that they faced in their studies and also foucs mainly on new discoveries.

Educational Visit

On 21^st May 2009, SOCIT organized an Educational Visit to Traffic Control Centre at Penang’s Komtar Tower 13^th floor. The visit was only opened to student who is currently taking Network Studies. There were about 10 students who participated the visit to the TCC including our very own HOS Mr. Krishnamoorthy. The visit helped our student to understand how IT can be used to help in the community and how private companies work together with the government. Apparently, there are 2 private companies which are working for the government at the moment, they are Tyco Traffic and Transportation which uses their state of art traffic control system SCATS which is deployed over the globe and Pascal Engineering which uses a SIEMIENS based system for traffic control. The representative of both companies is sporting enough to let us have a view of their system and even tell us how it works.

The students who participated in this visit have gained quite a load of useful information. The system from both of the companies emphasize on Server/Client relationship, which is essential knowledge for Networking Students. They have learned stuff such as services a server can provide. Eg: Hardware diagnosis and failure alert, Asset management, Security auditing and Data management (Data Backup and Restoration). However, SOCIT has established a R & D team which we will try to organize more visits to boost our student’s knowledge about Information Technology.
