Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Visualization is an effective tool in learning and conveying ideas difficult to portray 

 verbally to audiences in all fields and applications . I work effectively as a senior electrical   engineer in the semiconductor industry and often work on design , test , and product structure . In   order to be efficient in my role , I more than often use images , drawings , and visual aids to clearly   represent my ideas to my peers . Ideas may often be abstract , difficult to grasp , or just overall   complex in their nature and therefore require the use of concept drawings , and/or systematic   flowcharts to convey a message or idea to my team . My day to day exercises are consistent with   the use of visualization in my presentations , and I make use of a drawing board to communicate   these ideas . 

 Application 

 Creative thinking involves using all methods of sharing ideas , and maximizing 

 clairvoyance to all parties involved . Visualization unlocks different parts of the brain with use of   our imagination and creativity . Visual aids and photography often represent ideas that we are not   able to articulate verbally . Charts , and diagrams can effectively communicate data , product   structure , or a system architecture to name a few . I recently gave a presentation on a system   architecture overview of a new design I was working on . With the use of flow diagrams and   Microsoft Visio drawings I articulated my ideas to a wide audience . The visual diagrams took   product structures and displayed them in a family tree format making the organization simple to   follow . I also often will take my circuit designs and display them in hardware input / output   diagram format . Brainstorming simple concepts and heading to the drawing board for   communication is always key for the creative thinking process . 

 Insight and Approach 

 The use of visual aids has refined me in my presentations as a more robust , and articulate 

 engineer . I often get less questions from my presentations , and my peers acknowledge that the   concepts have been articulated well in a visual format . The use of charts , photos , and diagrams   are often my outlet when being most affective in a PowerPoint format . With the relevant   visualization , I often add an explanation of the image and how it ties the project or presentation   together . 

 Since it ’s important to have your audience on the same page and learning , a common 

 misdirection can often be the abundant amount of information loaded into an image . Possibly   making it more effective to further simplify these images / diagrams during a presentation .   Simplification can often be a more effective way of presenting . Information overload can often   lead to confusion . The strategy with visualization should always include insight and learning for   the audience in order to be most effective .
