Assignment 1: Formal Letter (Improved)

Subject: Formal self-introduction

Dear Professor Blackstone,

I am writing this letter to introduce myself to you. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2017, with a Diploma in Clean Energy Management. I chose this course as I had an interest in the environment and the technology used to create a sustainable environment. In my course, I had the 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 though I am not the most talkative person in my social circle of friends, I feel that I am able to bring joy and laughter into the conversation, through my unique sense of humor.

My goals for this module are to firstly, increase my confidence and skills in expressing myself verbally, especially in the area of giving oral presentations. I feel that it is an important skill that would benefit me greatly in the future. Secondly, I wish to improve my English language writing skills, in terms of grammar and sentence structuring. This is so that my ideas can be more coherent and meaningful.

Best regards,

Christopher Chan

SIE2016 Group 6

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.

Draft #1 Annotated Summary: In vitro meat production: Challenges and benefits over conventional meat production

Bhat, Z. F., Kumar, S., & Fayaz, H. (2015, February 14). In vitro meat production: Challenges and benefits over conventional meat production. Retrieved November 7, 2019, from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S209531191460887X . According to the article, in vitro meat is the production of meat through the process of by culturing the stem cells that are extracted from animals inside the bioreactor, using advanced tissue engineering methods. The article focuses on the benefits of in vitro meat in comparison to conventional meat, in terms of its health and environmental benefits. For example, in vitro meat could reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced from conventional food production methods by as much as 90%. The author also mentions that in vitro meat could also be created to be healthier than conventional meat, by altering the content of the culture medium, fat content and fatty acid composition of cultured meat. In addition, the risks of being
