Participation Grade

I believe I deserve either a "Very Good" or an "Excellent" grade for participation in this module. While I have missed one or two classes due to illness, I have been actively engaged throughout the course. I took on leadership roles in team discussions, contributed meaningful insights, and listened attentively when others led, helping our group improve both our technical report and presentation. I have also tried to stay very focused during lesson and effectively applied the skills taught to my assignments.

Beyond classwork, I have fostered collaboration by providing constructive feedback on my peers’ blogs, particularly their introduction letters, which helped build strong connections within the class. This process has significantly improved my communication skills, enabling me to speak with greater confidence and clarity—a personal goal I set for myself. Considering my active participation, teamwork, and personal growth, I believe a "Very Good" or "Excellent" grade accurately reflects my contributions to this module.

My Introduction (Updated)

Dear Professor Blackstone,  My name is  Ashutosh Kumar, but you can call me Ash. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2022 with a diploma in mechanical engineering. Growing up around relatives in diverse industries, my uncle, an oil engineer, sparked my love for engineering. He would explain the math and science behind his work and projects that he led, in a way a 10-year-old could grasp, which led to an interest in those subjects to pursue and do well in school. One of my communication strengths is active listening. Instead of hearing words, I tend to understand the message someone is trying to convey. During my counselling sessions, my counsellor actively listens and provides feedback on how I can improve. Understanding the value of active listening has helped me build trust and maintain meaningful relationships with friends, peers, and others.  One area I need to improve is the need for more clarity. I sometimes beat around the bush instead of getting straight...

The importance of communication skills for future engineers (Interpretation of Quote)

 “Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.” - Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) To my interpretation of this quote, communication is one of the most overlooked skills any one can learn, be it an engineering student or a student from other fields of work. For engineering students, communication skills are essential as it helps to strengthen the bond between a team when taking on projects as it helps to get ideas across easily from one group member to another for example. Communication helps to solve issues where different ideas are needed. This can be done by members of the team through communicating with one another.  This in turn helps to build teamwork between them, which is also another key skill.   Engineering students are mostly bound to the technical terms they have learnt and, when they are put in ...

Individual Research contributions to Group project

Updated on 1/11/2024 Research on KERS Functions: Used ChatGPT with the specific query: "Describe the functions of a KERS in cars." Gathered information on how KERS operates in vehicles. Research on Ampaire and EEL Aircraft: Used Google's search engine and gAI tools for background information on Ampaire and their EEL aircraft. Focused on understanding the aircraft’s specifications and requirements. Application of Research: Analyzed the background information to determine a suitable type of KERS for the EEL aircraft. Prioritized considerations such as weight, simplicity, and effectiveness for integration.  Updated on 25/11/2024 Researched the development of Solid-state batteries by NASA for their SABERS program via ChatGPT and CoPilot as backup research Read up on the impacts of aviation on the environment from a web report on ResearchGate Using Google search, I looked up the benefits of solid-state batteries on the environment— How the production of solid-state batteries c...
