9. Project Contribution

  • Came up with our Group Name
    I proposed and finalised the name for our group, ensuring it resonated with the project’s theme and objectives.

  • Completed the Minutes as a Scribe
    As the Scribe, I recorded the minutes for our meetings, capturing key points, decisions, and action items to ensure everyone stayed aligned and informed throughout the project.

  • Research on my Own Topic (Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1 Power Unit)
    I conducted research on the Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1 Power Unit, exploring its advanced technologies and performance features.

  • Narrow down to One Topic for the Group Project (Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System)
    After evaluating several potential topics, our team had selected the Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System as our group project focus. I provided clear reasoning based on its relevance, complexity, and potential for impactful solutions.

  • Completed the Purpose Statement on the Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System
    I crafted a purpose statement that clearly outlined our project’s objectives, emphasising the significance of addressing challenges associated with the Boeing 737-MAX MCAS System.

  • Brainstorming on the Title of our Topic
    I participated in brainstorming sessions to finalise the title for our project. This process involved collaboration and ensuring the title captured the essence of our research and proposed solutions.

  • Edited on the Purpose Statement
    I refined and edited the purpose statement to ensure clarity, precision, and alignment with the group’s goals.

  • Initiate a Group Meeting Online for the Project Pitch
    I took the initiative to organise an online meeting for the group to prepare for the project pitch.

  • Helped on the Group Report (Introduction, Proposed Solution, and Conclusion)
    I contributed to several key sections of the group report, including the introduction, proposed solution, and conclusion. I ensured these sections were cohesive and well-researched.

  • Using ChatGPT to Write a Transmittal Letter to the Boeing Company regarding adding MEMS Sensors and Magnetoresistive Sensors into the AOA System
    I drafted a professional transmittal letter to Boeing. The letter proposed integrating MEMS sensors and magnetoresistive sensors into the Aircraft’s Angle of Attack (AOA) system, highlighting the benefits of improved safety and system reliability.

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...

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...

4. Summary Draft 1 + Thesis

The 2017 Porsche 919 Hybrid is powered by an upgraded aerodynamic design and a drive system that combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged V4 internal combustion engine with an electric motor (Goodwin, 2017). Combination of electric and chemical energy provides a total output over 900 horsepower (hp). About 500 hp is from the engine from direct fuel injection, and more than 400 hp is from the energy recovery systems that stores energy in lithium-ion batteries and powers the electric motor at the front axle. It consists of (1) the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (ERS-K), which resists almost 60% of energy generated during the deceleration at the front wheel, and (2) the Heat Energy Recovery System (ERS-H), which generates electric energy by utilising the heat produced from the exhaust gases (Porsche AG, 2017). The output of more than 900 hp, and with the regulatory reasons, results in the car operating adequately under 8 megajoules (MJ) energy regulations (The Drive, 2017; Brownell, 2017). The f...
