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
  1. 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.
  2. 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
  1. 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.
  1. We did research on who might be interested in such a design via Google search and survey.
  2. 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 smartwatch
  1. I did research on Apple's software as a comparison to show that our new watch has to be able to be compatible with every smartphone via Google research and ChatGPT
  2. I did research on what are the benefits of having a smartwatch being able to be compatible with other smartphones.

 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 this module, fi

Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

 “I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is so important). It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch.” Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011) As discussed with my partner Quinian, we have come to an agreement that we agree to the above statement. 1) An Engineer is a problem solver and a critical thinker, they understand the various types of difficult concepts that affect the following industries such as [medicine, Infrastructure, Transport, Etc]. 2) It is important for the general public to understand an engineer's work to attract/inspire the younger generations to join the industry and to attract more future investors to invest in the industry. 3)Engineers are unable to communicate their understanding and concepts as they are not able to s
