Letter of introduction

 September 07, 2022


Dear Professor Brad,

My name is Jau Hui Si, and I am writing this letter to share more about myself. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in electrical and electronics engineering. Before studying full-time at the Singapore Institute of Technology, I worked as a software tester under Venture Corporation for three short months.

Since young, I have always been fascinated by the various high-end technology shown in movies. However, my experience in a semiconductor manufacturing company was what solidified my decision to specialize in robotics back at Singapore Polytechnic. I firmly believe that humans aided by robots can make a positive impact in all kinds of industries.

One weakness I have in communication is being too soft-spoken. Being an introvert, I find it hard to communicate with other people. It has been an issue that I have been working on for quite some time. To improve on this aspect, I have been taking the initiative to communicate with customers during my part-time job. My goal for this module would be to become more outspoken. I also want to express myself more clearly and speak more articulately.

My strength in communication would be being able to speak or write concisely. During my internship, I had to prepare PowerPoint slides for the company to present, and the request was for the slides to be as straight to the point as possible. This helped me in developing a habit of being concise.  

I hope this letter can help you to get to know me better. 

With Regards,

Jau Hui Si

    Nice meeting you Hui Si! Your letter is well written and very concise!
    You've shared your strength and weaknesses in communication as well as past experiences related to this course.
    I also noticed you shared your experience to improve on communication by speaking to customers. But I don't quite get what your part-time job was. Maybe you can elaborate more on that? Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing with us Hui Si. Perhaps you could elaborate more on how your experience working in a semiconductor manufacturing company supported the decision to specialise in robotics?

    Thanks for sharing with us.

    I was able to read this letter quite easily but I feel you could tell us more about what you did as a software tester.

    Dear Hui Si,

    Thank you for this detailed yet clear and concise letter; it's an effective personal sharing. I appreciate the rich content that is well aligned with the assignment brief, the effective way you have organized your thoughts and the generally flawless language use.

    You've done a very fine job providing supporting information for each specific content area, allowing us readers to gain a fairly clear understanding of who you are. For example, you share info on your perceived communication weakness -- your shyness -- and set as a goal addressing that. I'd like to help you in that regard, so here is my challenge to you: Each lesson, I'd like you to make the effort to say at least one thing to me, either privately as you enter the classroom or as you leave, or in the form of a comment to the class when I call for some response to a question. You can take baby steps, so I don't expect anything monumental, just a 'hello' or a 'goodbye' would do. I know you have more to say, but I want to help you build up the strength to engage me and others even more.

    Can we try that?

    I look forward to hearing your voice more this term.

    Cheers,

    Brad

Critical Reflection

Over the past 13 weeks, I have discovered more about myself. Looking back at the goals I set for myself at the start of this module, I believe that I have met most of my goals throughout this module.  Module Learning One factor behind most of my weaknesses in communication that I identified was my introverted nature. This module helped me know more about my classmates so that I would not feel overly nervous when I speak. My first goal was to become more outspoken. Professor Blackstone patiently helped me overcome this weakness of being too soft-spoken throughout these 13 weeks by getting me to the class and by initiating small talk. I realized that over the past few months, I felt comfortable initiating conversations and I felt less shy when I talk to people around me. I am thankful for the opportunities Professor Blackstone gave me to walk out of my comfort zone.  Besides overcoming my weaknesses in communication, I have also learned more about communication and critical thin...

Summary draft 1 for Deeptrekker (With Juergen)

Deeptrekker promotes the usage of underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), DT640 Utility Crawler (Deep Trekker, 2022) . Among its functions, the robot has the capability to conduct intensive observation under rough conditions and send live feedback to the user. In terms of features, the robot is coupled with an enhanced 4K camera, standard USBL and a precision thruster. The enhanced 4k camera allows users to view under low light conditions and provides enhanced clarity with its underwater correction. Like a GPS system, the Ultra-short Baseline (USBL) position system is software where it calculates the positioning of the ROV. Consisting of a transducer on the surface of the water and a transponder on the ROV, it allows accuracy of 20cm from itself. As mentioned on the webpage, the precision thruster on the machine enables the robot to maneuver vertically with much stability. Accompanied with a rotating camera, the GT63 can provide 270 degrees view vertically upwards and downwards of ...
