1. Quote Interpretation

“Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?” Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer, USA, “Good Communication Is Essential...” (2014) This quote highlights the importance of communication in transitioning from engineering education to professional practice. Firstly, effective communication is crucial for transforming ideas into successful products. Without clear communication, ideas might remain within small teams and fail to reach their full potential or integrate into larger projects. Secondly, experienced engineers naturally understand the need for good communication. Over time, they learn that sharing ideas and collaborating are essential for successful projects. However, engineering students may not always realise this. Lastly, the quote q

2. Formal Letter to My Instructor

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Tan Ye Xiong, and I am currently a first-year student at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). I am writing this letter to share my reflections on my educational background, communication strengths and weaknesses, my goals for this module, as well as what sets me apart from others. My educational background has played a crucial role in shaping my interest in engineering. During my primary and secondary school years, I excelled in both Mathematics and Science, which provided me with a solid foundation. This eventually led to my graduation from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in Engineering with Business. I am now pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at SIT. In terms of communication, one of my strengths is active listening, which allows me to understand others' perspectives. This helps me accurately interpret the needs, concerns, or suggestions of others. However, one weakness I have is with presentations. I often feel anxious b
