Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers response

“While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers
face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative.”
Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016)

What I understand from it
Communication becomes even more imperative when you have to interact with a much larger audience, where the impact of what you say or do becomes larger. Global engineers face this issue, where they have to communicate with other engineers and people from other professions, who could come from all walks of life.

In my course, I had to opportunity to experience and witness for myself how engineering could be used in sustainability in an innovative way, through the implementation of sustainable engineering solutions. For example, one of the projects that my group and I were tasked to do, was to research about a place in Singapore which uses sustainable features and create a video about it. In terms of my weakness in communication, I have difficulty in expressing myself verbally at times, as I am an introvert. This is why giving oral presentation is a challenge for me as I tend to lose confidence in front of a crowd, even when I am clear of the topic that I am about to present. In terms of my strength in communication, my friends think that I have a good sense of humor. Even thou...

Assignment 2: Summary on "How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?" draft 1

According to Daubach (2019) in the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, addresses the challenges faced with the transition towards clean energy, and discusses possible solutions to help accelerate the consumption of clean energy in the region.   The article begins with stating that Southeast Asia is a region with diverse stages of development, where a single solution is not applicable to the entire region. Southeast Asia is the only region in the world where the dependence on coal to produce power has increased, contributing to the production of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. The article also mentions Singapore, whereby utilizing conventional forms of clean energy on a large scale may not be suitable. The article then highlights nuclear fusion, which has great potential due to its advantages. However, reducing the usage of energy is equally important, which can be achieved through district cooling. The government and pri...
