10. I’m afraid of
making decisions
that involve taking
responsibilities
It is necessary to direct
the abstract contents
learnt in class towards
the professional world
I can’t remember
those topics that
seemed "useless
and difficult"
I feel that I lack
more training or
knowledge
oriented to practice

I know the sense of
what I’m studying &
how to interrelate
different concepts
from different
subjects
Since I know the industrial
application of the knowledge
learned in the degree, I felt
more motivated for learning. My
adaptation to the industry has
been quite easy.
My company said
that I was almost
ready to work, they
have barely trained
me
I have improved my
professional skills while
learning engineering
theoretical knowledge,
that’s cool!
