Critical Reflection

Module Learning Leading up to this module I thought that my writing and presentation skills were sufficient enough to get me by in the real world. However, over the course of this module, I came to realize that my critical thinking and language skills have many weaknesses to improve on.   Through this module I have learned various writing skills such as creating a PEEL paragraph, APA 7 citation style, quoting and paraphrasing, and writing an informative tech report. Adding on I have also learned many interesting presentation techniques and pointers to take note of when giving a presentation to various types of audiences. Some examples would be to elevate my pitch by engaging the audience with some thinking questions, not to memorize a script but to understand and rephrase my words and understanding, and to create slides based on the target audience. I will further try to expand my writing and presentation skills by practicing more. This would include participating in more events th...

Research project and tech report contribution

 I helped my group with the research on  issues raised with regard to integrating both fitness and everyday-use functions into the smartwatch I did a Google search to get some general background and understanding of the issues. I then use a chatbot (chatGPT) to help me summarise the points. I wrote the purpose statement for the Apple tech report after discussing key points with my group I gave some insights into the construction of the purpose statement Through the group discussion, I gave some constructive feedback on who could be our intended shareholder audience and why they would fit the profile. I did research on why having a smartwatch with both fitness and everyday-use functions is optimal. We did research on who might be interested in such a design via Google search and survey. I did research on the key apps that will be on the smartwatch by reviewing apps on the Apple watch and apps on the Garmin watch. I did research on the compatibility issues that might arise for a...

Introduction Letter

 Dear Professor Blackstone I am Shakthi Ganesh (24 years old), currently studying as a year 1 Mechanical Engineering student at SIT. Before studying at SIT I was a Mechatronics student at Temasek Polytechnic where I learned the basics of engineering. When I was younger, I always had a keen interest in mathematics. The thought, effort, and time taken to solve a problem and the joy of getting the question correct excite me. As I grew older and had to decide which career choice to take, engineering seemed to be the best option for me. Engineers are problem solvers and they also help to brainstorm ideas that would help make difficult tasks easier. This resonated with me as such I made up my mind to be an engineer.    I think I have very good presentation skills. I am very effective in projecting my voice and point across to a group of people However, I feel that I lack written communication skills as I am not very fond of using correct grammar and nouns. At the end of t...
