Thesis Statement

Thesis statement: Every part of the bicycle should be 3D printed with different materials to have maximal customization while having desirable quality and affordability.

Support 1: Lower cost leads to better affordability. 

Support 2: Allows plenty of customizations.

Support 3: A variety of material choices for 3D printing.

Counterargument: Even though 3D printing allows people to design and build their own bicycles, some people prefer to buy finished products from manufacturers for convenience.

Task 3: The Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers

“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)  Communication is the exchange of ideas, information, opinions, and knowledge so that the message is received and understood with clarity and purpose.  In an effective communication, the sender provides necessary ideas, thoughts, opinions, knowledge, and data while the receiver needs to actively listen to that. For example, without effective communication skills, an employee may send emails that lack the necessary information and resulting in team members asking him for more information and eventually more emails are needed. This wastes time and lacks efficiency. With effective communication, the email would contain all necessary information, data, and guidelines to avoid questions and uncertainties, and contribute to a more efficient...

Self-introduction of Chris Chi Shundao

Dear Dr Brad Blackstone, Please let me take this opportunity to introduce myself as a new student attending your Critical Thinking and Communicating module at Singapore Institute of Technology. My name is Chi Shundao, and I graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a diploma in Industrial and Operation’s Management. I developed a solid foundation in statistical and management skills. These experiences enabled me to manage the operation, inventory and product quality through data analysis skills and contribute to the improvement in efficiency and cost-saving for companies. Even though I was mainly trained and specialized in analytical and management skills, I have a great passion for engineering design. Therefore I learnt engineering design skills during my free time and applied what I learnt in the final year project. Eventually, I obtained an A grade. This impressive achievement was then noticed by one of the professors at Republic Polytechnic. He recommended me to a design company...

Critical Reflection

 I’m responsible for the technical part of the tech report ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/1fHgrxSn2Tbtc27tJy4aGWPioplWKSOjC/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword ) The project called  “ EzClean mechanical broom ”  is almost completed and my teammates and I have achieved satisfying results step by step. It has been a wonderful journey to train my critical thinking skill, essay writing technique and project management skill and I benefited so much through this project and from my teammates.  In the beginning when we were tasked to come up with an idea of what topic to work on, I offered this idea of developing an mechanical broom that is made of biodegradable materials and requires no electricity to work. One of the reasons was that I realized environment related projects always have a plenty of topics to talk about so we would not have to stop and think about what to do next, especially in halfway of the project. The other reason was that I already had an origin...
