skills, experiences and knowledge of producing a high-quality product for the better
award of transcript in technical education.
In addition to that point, it offers with students’ generals’ aspects of passing
examination
Also, to enable them acquired general decision-making process.
While another one is that students can therefore be more creative in different fields
of learning.

OBJECTIVES
