Task 3 : The importance of communication skills of engineers

-

"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective

leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a

sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across

clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even

matter."

Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp 


According to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp, Effective leadership requires excellent communication skills. To convey a sense of urgency and zeal to others, a leader must be able to impart knowledge and ideas. In order for a leader to be successful, he or she must be able to communicate clearly and motivate others on what has been mentioned. Respectively, he or she will be able to relay the message clearly.

Formal Letter: Self Introduction

Subject: Self-introduction letter Dear Prof Brad Blackstone, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and hope it allows you to know me better at the end of it. My name is Muhd Raizan and I am 24 years old this year. I’m currently studying mechanical engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) as a Year 1 student who attended your critical thinking and communication class. Before getting accepted into SIT, I had a diploma in automation and mechatronics systems at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. My interest in mechanical engineering developed when I returned from a school trip to Japan. We went to various company sites for a visit. During the visit, they showed us different machines used in the engineering field. I was fascinated and intrigued by how the devices operate. I thought it would be great to be part of machine development in the future. Starting a conversation with individuals is one strength I believe I have instilled in me. During my tenure in national serv

Design Summary Reader Response Draft #4

  Little’s (2021) article “Firefighting Robot Go Autonomous” informs the public about the research on using autonomous firefighting robots in the future. With more than 350,000 American homes burning yearly and climate change contributing to 10,000 active daily wildfires worldwide. These firefighting robots can offer to help reduce the risk of the firefighters as they can perform higher-risk tasks for humans as these robots are often, more robust, and agile (Little,2021). Little (2021) added that researchers are looking into “developing “intelligent” firefighting robots that can make decisions autonomously”. The same author also reported a firefighting robot named Robotics Systems 3 (SR3) has proven its capabilities and is now being used by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD). In the article LAFD Assistant Chief stated that RS3, "has met some of these real-world mobility challenges and proved useful by dragging hose lines up steep hills and even pulling horses out of mud q

Critical Reflection

  Module Learning At the start of the module, I was tasked to set 2 goals to achieve by the end of this module. In a blink of an eye, 13 weeks have passed and it’s been a fruitful journey.   The first goal was to refine my grammar and organize my ideas properly. In the first few weeks of the module, I learn how to organize my thoughts through the Paul-Elder Framework and the 7 C’s of communications. Before reading about the framework, I always find it difficult to arrange my thoughts to whether is it enough or if the message relayed was clear. The framework allows me to arrange and structure my thoughts correctly as well as put them into words. This framework has been my blueprint ever since it was introduced to me. I find it easier to write my reports and assignments with the guide of the framework. With this module, there are samples and rubrics which I can refer to sense how it should be written. To refine my grammar, I started paying more attention to every single word that I
