MEC_1281 Effective Communication T6

  Dear Professor Blackstone  This will be a reflection of the key takeaway on the 13-week journey. I will begin the goals set during the first week of classes with the expectation to present clearly and sharpen my technical writing skills. These goals together with a timely reminder from you help to elevate our standard to the fullest potential which will be reflected in this letter; our final assignment.  Module Learning;  Presentation  Throughout the tutorial, I am given countless opportunities to be heard and motivated to improve on the approaches needed to develop the relevant information to grab my audience's attention and interest. This experience is significant for my future growth as an effective leader in a world where feedback is limited and the lesson learnt in society comes at a cost. If I am not nurtured, I can see myself repeating the setbacks I had in class. A few techniques, such as determining the audience, were used to rejigger my content in or...

In the article” Where’s My Supersuit?” Zelik (2019) highlights the attributes and benefits of a spring-powered exosuit, which aims to prevent lower back pain in the majority of adults. The article also mentions that most adults have or will deal with lower back pain someday, and the suit will help to lessen stress on those muscles. Zelik mentions that the exosuit consists of common clothing material with an “assistive fabric elastic band”, coupled with an on-off switch that is activated when needed. Due to the absence of batteries and motors, users can move normally when the suit is turned off, while other exoskeletons are bulky, uncomfortable and interfere with movement. Zelik also adds that owing to the sleek design of the exosuit, it is hardly noticeable when worn under everyday clothing. From my point of view, the required qualities of an effective exosuit should help ease the tension placed on the back, not hinder the usual daily routine of the user and be affordable for labour-in...

  How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace? To my understanding, an effective leader is someone that has qualities such as communication and critical thinking skills in his arsenal for ideas to be relayed with clarity throughout the hierarchy. Under the 7 types of leadership in the world that I have read, this type of leadership that closely related to what I have mentioned, which is participative leadership, and it is being displayed by Donald Trump. This type of leadership facilitates ideas and sharing information with the end goal of arriving at a decision. In an engineering setting, participative leaders must be able to lead their team towards turning their words into reality. One should have no issue forming a communicational brief when a hiccup arises where discussions are encouraged. Being an effective communicator also helps to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for a team by listening and making ...

 Dear Prof Blackstone My name is Quah YewThye, and I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in aerospace/aeronautical technology as I've always been interested in aircraft. The only driving aspects for my interest in mechanical engineering is my aptitude for mathematics and my fictional idol, Tony Stark, who mentions to a kid in the movie "iron man 3" that he is a mechanic and he could build anything. These interests would later pop up in my memory again when choosing a course to enrol in. For my communications skills, my strength is being a good conversationalist which has allowed me to start conversations with friends and strangers alike. One example was when I would approach pilots at the airport who seemed idle and asked if they were comfortable talking about their route to becoming flight officers. This experience has provided me with a significant first-hand understanding of my dream job. My weakness, unfortunately, is stage fright. This cost me a chance ...

  “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.”   According to Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011) , that engineers are underrated because they are unable to convey the concepts to the masses. Likewise, being able to analyze and dissect those concepts into lucid presentations is one of the most difficult tasks to achieve.
