My contributions to research project

I researched trends in the number of Electric Vehicles used in Singapore to determine whether our research topic would be desirable.  I researched the different kinds of Electric Vehicle chargers available and their differences. I offered solutions to tackle the problem of the need for universal Electric Vehicle chargers. I provided arguments to decide which solution was more feasible. I explained why a universal adapter is more practical than a universal plug. I suggested the universal travel adapter as our reference for the universal EV charging adapter. I pitched our idea to other teams for feedback.

The CFM56 series of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines is manufactured by CFM International (Global Engine Maintenance, 2019), a 50-50 collaboration between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines (MTU Aero Engine, n.d). With more than 30,000 units supplied to about 500 clients globally, it is the most dominant engine used on aircraft (CFM International, 2017, as cited by Mwanalushi, 2021). Among the series, the CFM56-7 is the latest engine developed (CFM International, 1995). According to CFM International (n.d), it is the sole engine “for the Boeing Next-Generation single-aisle airliner”, with over 15,000 CFM56-7 produced to power Boeing-737 aircraft, earning its title as “the most popular engine-aircraft combination in commercial aviation history”. The engine has also accumulated 25 million flight hours in just six years of commercial operations, setting yet another record for having “the fastest accumulation of flight hours in commercial aviation history” (CFM International, 20
