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.

  • I proposed the idea of electric ramps on public buses.
  • I researched which bus operators to target for the implementation of electric ramps.
  • I researched the bus models used by SBS on Google.
  • I researched the trend of the elderly population in Singapore on Google.
  • I researched the regulations on Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) in Singapore on Google.
  • I researched the distribution of population according to age in Singapore on Google.
  • I researched the benefits of the ramp on Google.
  • I discussed the safety aspect of the electric ramp in the report.
  • I discussed the allocation of buses fitted with the electric ramp in the report.

About myself

Subject: Self-introduction (Critical Thinking and Communications) Dear Professor Blackstone, I am Albert, a student from class S20, attending one of the Critical Thinking and Communications modules you teach. I am writing to introduce myself. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in aerospace engineering in 2022. My interest in engineering came from my father, who works as a mechanic. Growing up, I watched him work on cars and was fascinated by how simple inanimate objects enabled complex mechanisms to function. Among the various engineering industries, aerospace piqued my interest the most as I was intrigued by the idea of flying. As such, I decided to pursue my studies in the aerospace field. I believe my communication strength is my ability to understand my audience, a skill I acquired during my national service. I served as a policeman and had to frequently converse with both my team and the public. To ensure everyone could understand me, I would converse or explain ...

Quote Intepretation by Xuan Yi and me

“Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?” - Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer, USA, “Good Communication Is Essential...” (2014) The above quote emphasizes the importance of communication in turning ideas into reality. It implies that clear communication is critical for disseminating and developing ideas beyond small, isolated groups. While experienced engineers recognize this requirement, the remark raises the issue of why this awareness is absent among engineering students. Engineering students may not completely recognize how important communication is in the product development process, likely because they are typically focused on technical skills and may not yet understand how teamwork and transparent information sharing generate cr...

Summary Draft 1 + Thesis

The CFM56 series is a collection of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines manufactured by CFM International (Global Engine Maintenance, 2019). Supplying more than 30,000 units to about 500 clients globally, it is the most dominant engine used in airliner (CFM International, 2017, as cited by Mwanalushi, 2021). In addition, its capability to produce thrust 18,500 to 33,000 pounds of thrust has made it a benchmark in the engine market (Safran group, n.d). This feat was due to its exceptional efficiency and dependability (Safran group, n.d), which was made possible by the 50-50 collaboration between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines (MTU Aero Engine, n.d). According to GE Aerospace (2017), the CFM56-7 among the series, has an "industry-leading 99.96 percent engine dispatch reliability rate", implying that only one flight take-off in 2,500 has been held up or called off. In a nutshell, the CFM56 engine series took ...
