What have I achieved?
Reflect back for this subject, my biggest achievements would be the Learning contract and group Media Watch assignment. Interrogating Technology is one of the subject that allow myself to recongnise, research and think about technology changes into three different ways – Philosophical and ethical, policy outcome and social change.
Especially for the Learning Contract, as I am not familiar and fully understand the purpose of the stakeholder consultation prior to the first reading. I need to a very strong commitment and self-discipline to do on research and analyse from an appropriate source, also to keep myself engage with the media coverage on current technological issues is essential in order to be successful from this

First of all, this subject was structured only with three long sessions throughout the entire semester and thus I need to make a strong commitment on reading and researching about current technological issues, trends and impact from the social sciences as well as media coverage and case studies on a weekly basis.
By constantly doing a lot of intensive reading and summarising allow myself to develop a sets of lifelong learning skills which includes academic writing skills, communication skills, critical thinking skills as well as reading, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating and creating (Anderson – Krathwohl 2001, in Killen, 2007, p.78). As a result, all of those lifelong learning skills would be my biggest achievement of this subject and also uplifting myself in order to perform well and deliver a good quality of work.
Has my learning been valuable?
“As engineering student and as engineers in the workplace, we would expect that all of these different cognitive processes would be deploy.” (Holland, 2016, p.4). Learning contract is the most valuable aspect throughout my learning process from this subject and widen my perspective to view different things. Learning to ask critical questions with understanding the social, economic and environmental consequences of their professional activities as well as communicate effectively to government and the community on engineering issues are the attribute for any engineer graduates that should equipped (Institution of Engineers, Australia 1996,
