Summary Draft 5

  MEC 1281 Summary Analysis Draft 5 Lim Xian Sheng In the press release from   the Australian National Maritime Museum, "Introducing the Seabin Project"(2018), Jateff mentions that The Seabin Project was started by two surfers who were tired of "swimming in garbage". Jateff mentions that the Seabin is a device capable of ensnaring debris before flowing into the ocean, peculiarly in highly populated areas. Jateff states in the article how plastic pollution contributes to most of the eight million tonnes of waste yearly to the ocean and which is causing harm to sea animals. Jateff also explains that Seabin functions by filtering debris into a "catch-bag" and pushing the cleaned water back out while being powered by electricity from shore. The Seabin is also accoutred with "oil-absorbent pads" that filter petroleum-based oil and detergents. The Seabin is best placed strategically to maximize collection due to its inability  to capture debris

Personal Reflections on MEC1281 - Effective Communications. Module Learning Looking back on the past 13 weeks, I have completed this module with a piece of greater knowledge of writing and communicating. At the start of this module, I quite was nervous, entering the class of effective communications knowing that my writing and grammar were not that good. However, after attending a few classes conducted by Professor Brad, he shared valuable life lessons and always emphasized the learning outcomes of every opportunity. Setting my goals at the start of the module and looking back at how much I have accomplished, I have achieved beyond what I have expected but still seeking improvements like Professor Brad always says,  " what is the learning outcome for today?" is a sentence that encourages us, students, to seek learning opportunities in every way.  Moving forward with the skills set learned in this module, as a future engineer myself, it is important to write an efficient repor

Assignment 1, Submission 1, A LETTER TO PROFESSOR BLACKSTONE

Subject line: A Self Introduction by Xian Sheng   Dear Professor Blackstone My name is Xian Sheng and I am in your class MEC1281 T6. I hope that through this letter, you are able to understand me better. In 2017, I have graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering. During the final year of my diploma, I chose to be specialized in design and hence developed a great interest in engineering. What led me to be interested in Design is the process of creating a solution for the problems and the process of brainstorming to improve the prototype during my stage of final year project. Ever since I have always aspired to be the person that is creating a product to help those in need such as the handicapped and the elderlies My main strength in communication comes in the form of public speaking. I am rather comfortable speaking with a big crowd and do not shy away to share my thoughts and knowledge prevailing to the topic of discussion. I used to be an in

Task 3B: Interpretation on Gilbert Amelio (President of and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp), Quote

"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Gilbert Amelio is trying to send a message across indicating that the things he had in mind should be presented clearly for the others to understand. Being a leader himself, he is sharing his own personal experience and knowledge to the respective audience. Thank you for reading :)
