Give me feedback on my term paper. It is supposed to be reflective writing, with critical reflection on myself, my goals, beliefs, experiences, and how my experiences shaped my views and beliefs. The criteria for assessment is how well I have answered these questions "
1.	What have you learnt from this subject: theories or ideas about Innovation and Entrepreneurship, class discussion, forum participation, your lecturer and/or peers? 

2.	How is your learning from this subject related to your study and career plan?  You may describe your programme of study, study and/or career plan first. 

3.	Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. What are the expected opportunity and challenges? Plan for development: How would you address the issues? 
", and also the language, quality of writing, appropriacy, and depth of reflection and thinking. Please critically comment on the paper and help me improve it. "My Dream of Sustainable Innovation
For the longest time, I remained confused about my path after graduation. My parents prefer engineering; secure and stable. While I am not opposed to the idea, and it may be what I pursue initially after graduation, Introduction to Innovation and Entrepreneurship has helped me rediscover the projects I wish to undertake in the long term and remember my passions. Coming into this course, I did not know what to expect and lacked confidence about its content. As I near the end, however, I can recount that it has been a transformative experience. I believe that through this course, I have obtained knowledge and inspiration to follow through with my visions in the future.
Growing up, I developed a love for electronics from watching my father work on his hobby of building audio amplifiers. Although he had a commerce background, his dedication was immense. Inheriting his curiosity, I would tinker with devices, particularly an old Lenovo ThinkPad X201i. Its modular, repairable, and upgradable design language amazed me. Components such as the RAM and hard drive could be accessed easily, and the durable body with metal hinges ensured longevity. This contrasted with newer laptops, which sacrificed repairability and durability. Frustrated by this, I imagined creating a laptop that prioritized standardized components and easy repairs to extend its lifespan.
As I envisioned it, my company would focus on standardized components such as interchangeable batteries and screens. Repairs and upgrades would be as easy as possible, maximizing the longevity and reliability of the device, which I believe is the most important quality a device should possess. Through the IE course, I gained a better understanding of entrepreneurial practices, which I believe I will be able to apply to bring my vision to life. I learned about the structure of innovation, from idea creation to implementation to design thinking (Xiao, 2024). Particularly, the concept of applying empathy to bring about a different form of innovation resonated with me. Thinking back to my frustration with recent laptops, I understood the importance of designing products around the user. For me and many of the people around me, the purchase of a device such as a phone or laptop was not a small decision. I was very familiar with the frustrations associated with losing a device and its data. In the future, I intend to use tools such as the empathy map to ensure that users are confident in their devices (Kamińska et al., 2023).
Aside from giving me confidence to pursue my passions, this course also drastically improved my understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship. Prior to this course, I assumed engineering and management had no overlap. This assumption was changed, however, as I learned how technical skills and innovativeness go hand in hand. The entire innovation process was illustrated to me through both lectures and hands-on experiences, such as the visit to the industrial center. I realized that while engineers may learn how to turn ideas into reality, it is equally important to learn how to generate and select innovative ideas through systems like design thinking. Having a holistic skillset enables us to solve problems that can benefit society.
I entered electrical engineering to build on my strengths, which include a foundation in physics and math. I obtained highest standard marks in Bangladesh for GCE AS Level Physics, highlighting my background in analytical problem-solving and critical thinking. I also have firsthand experience in electronics, including basic circuit design and soldering, which will enable me to get started with developing modular electronics. I consider my biggest strength to be my enthusiasm for what I do, which drives me to keep moving toward my goals.
However, this course has also helped me identify areas for growth. I recognize that I need to improve my stress management and resilience to face the challenges involved in developing sustainable electronics. I tend to overthink decisions which can lead to missed opportunities. Failure is inevitable, and this course has emphasized the importance of embracing it. In the future, I will welcome failures as learning opportunities and go for every chance I have. Additionally, I have applied for the INSPIRE mentorship program to hopefully mentee under established engineers to further my skillsets to achieve my dreams.
This course has given me the conviction to follow my passions and turn my vision of developing sustainable electronics into reality. Learning concepts such as design thinking and tools like empathy maps have allowed me to appreciate the importance of empathy in product design. My frustrations with recent laptops have shaped my values towards design, and I moving forward I intend to form a company that producesWith the knowledge I gained from this course, I feel confident taking steps towards building a company that promotes sustainable innovation for the electronics industry."
