Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

 "Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance." Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000) 



Explanation: 

I believe that communication is the key to success. The act of communicating helps to connect with the other person. In the workforce, communication is extremely important in terms of both verbal communication and written communication as employees often have to work with different clients for projects in the engineering industry. Having good communication skills will help to boost the productivity of work whilst maintaining strong working relationships in an organisation.

Formal Letter

  Subject: Self introduction   Dear Prof Brad, My name is Loh Wan Xin Zann from your effective communication class and my purpose of writing this letter is to allow you to know me better. I recently graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Green Building and Sustainability. To be frank, I did not have much interest in engineering during my first two years of study in the course as I was more inclined to learning business. My interest in engineering developed when I was attached to a facilities management company during my internship where I was exposed to do Green Mark certification for school buildings which is why I decided to pursue my studies in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services) in SIT. Aside from academic interests, I utilize my free time by attending street jazz dance classes as it has always been my hobby since young and it helps me to release my stress by sweating it out. A communication strength I believe that I possess wou...

Annotated Summary

  Hashimoto, K., Kawaguchi, C., Matsueda, S., Morinaka, K., & Yoshiike, N. (1998, April 1). People-counting system using multisensing application. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924424797017159 In this article, Hashimoto, Kawaguchi, Matsueda, Morinaka and Yoshiike (1998) focus on the applications of the people counting sensor by explaining the components and how it processes. The people-counting system is equipped with a multi-element infrared sensor which is made of PbTiO3 ceramics to achieve non-contact and non-blocking real-time counters with high accuracy. The sensor digital output and human information sensor uses a pyroelectric array detector to detect the direction of the movement and number of people. The counting sensor with eight-element array detectors is set up on the ceiling in the centre of the door and the sensor arrays are parallel to the movement directions of the occupants. The sensor on the ceiling detects the heat from the floor, and t...

Draft 1 Summary

In the article “IoT based Smart Parking Systems for Smart Cities”, hIOTron (n.d.)(2020), claims that effective management of parking space will prevent traffic congestion. Smart parking utilizes sensors installed on lots to detect lot availability. Smart parking can be used in offices and shopping malls. Occupants can book in advance the desired lot while receiving real time accessibility and when the sensors confirm a vacant lot, the car will be parked automatically. For an IoT solution, it must make it easy to transfer field data to the cloud at low cost and increased ROI. Challenges faced include real upfront costs, as in-ground sensors can incur additional cost of two parking systems. Smart parking authentication is done using an RFID tag, data collected is reserved in the cloud. The app would find a vacant lot and send the location to the user after registration is completed. Optimal parking is achieved with minimal time and effort while enhancing the user’s experience.   ...
