Looking back

May 21, 2017

This is my 5th and final blog for this DITCC-106 (Industry Immersion).

To start with, here is the blueprint of what was supposed to happen during this immersion.

Immersion Blueprint as approved by the mentor

My mentor and I followed diligently with the blueprint to make the most out of the limited time in this immersion.

• Week 4 of April - scouting of industry for immersion, endorsement of the letter for immersion and acceptance letter signed by mentor. Necessary software were downloaded and installed per requirement of the assigned mentor.
• Week 1 of May - Readings and a lot of readings for the review of literature for the research topic and start of the data gathering as well.
• Week 2 of May - Still on the reading and summarizing of the related literatures as well as doing the data testing of the abaca tissue culture.

Based on the blueprint, the 3rd week of May is for the final paper revision and to be submitted to my mentor.

Some of the corrections of my research paper

The final research paper is submitted to the research, development and extension department of the university. After the presentation in the last week of May, it will then be submitted to a computing conference and hoping for the best to be accepted.

Having a mentor who understands the direction of a DIT student is a very big help. Aside from his being very supportive, he shares also some of his learned lessons while he was still pursuing his doctorate degree.

I learned so much in this Industry Immersion under the guidance of my mentor Sir Rhod. For this coming week, May 22-26, the schedule in the blueprint is the making of the research compendium, immersion portfolio and of course finally, waiting of the course grade when all the requirements are submitted.

Praying for the best. To God be the glory!
