  Roborock Q5 Robot Vacuum with 2700 Pa Power Suction  1) Ryan was sweeping his living room with a broom and he wanted to make it easier to clean the hall 2)Ryan saw an advertisement on Youtube and wanted to do more research on it.  3) Celine googled the cleaning robot on the ad.  4) Celine used ChatGPT to find out the different functions of  the robot, with the prompt "give me the different functions of a cleaning robot"  5) Ryan and Celine watched Youtube videos of how the robot works and its features  7) Celine read reviews on platforms such as reddit.  8) Ryan read some reviews on Rtings.com and amazon.com 9) Upon research on website, we discovered that there are different  reviews on different surfaces.  6) Ryan and Celine discussed about the pros and cons of the system. 
  Dear Professor Blackstone, I trust this email finds you in good health. My name is Ryan and I am a first year mechanical design and manufacturing student. I am writing to introduce myself and express how excited I am to participate in this critical thinking and communication module. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in 2021 with a diploma in robotics and mechatronics. I was always curious on how things worked since I was a kid. I distinctly remember when I was learning how to read an analog clock for the first time, I was more fascinated by how the hands were able to move on their own instead of learning how to read it. I also used to play with lego sets and that was my favorite thing to do growing up. I eventually grew out of playing with legos but that love for having a vision for something and making it tangible never went away. With those reasons I mentioned, I concluded that engineering would be the best field to go into.  Aside from engineering, I have a few o...

Quotation Analysis of 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) The statement above is absolutely true. Professors, lecturers and Educators of Engineering need to have the charisma and the communication skills to be able to impart their knowledge and the learning material in a way that is engaging and that inspires the future generations of Engineers to strive to be better than the generations who came before them. Communication Skills are also integral for engineers to work efficiently, collaborate effectively and ensure the success of their projects. Engineering Students who learn to communicate well not only contribute the success of their teams but also enhance their own professional development to be the best in their respective fields. s
