Critical Reflection

4 April 2025    3.2.1 Module learning: Refer to the goals you set yourself at the start of the course. Using what you have learned about critical thinking and reflections, reflect on the extent to which you have achieved (or not) the said objectives. You must also reflect on what you have done in terms of building on your communication and critical thinking skills, as well as what you should do to further improve these skills. At the beginning of this module, I have set two goals for myself. My first goal was to enhance my public speaking skills in order to deliver presentations with my confidence and clarity and secondly, to develop stronger technical writing skills to effectively convey project ideas and reports. Both of these goals were crucial in preparing me for my future as a civil engineer, where clear communication in the form of verbal, an d writin g, will be essential skills in my career. After completing due reflection about my progress, i believe i have made signif...

Research Project Contributions

28/2   I contributed to brainstorming on our chosen topic (Portable water purification filter) I assisted in coming up with the problem statements and purpose statements I contributed in doing research on LifeStraw's portable water purification filter with the help of generative AI and Official websites, which combined in our total team minutes. I came up with several different prompts on 'Copilot' and 'ChatGPT' to get information on the chosen topic: What are some factors LifeStraw is currently lacking on? How can we improve on LifeStraw, a currently successful water purification filter. I fully covered the implementations of graphene oxide filters and stainless steel body constructions during our group presentation on the proposal to LifeStraw I made major contributions to the group report Challenges of Graphene Oxide Filtration and Stainless Steel Body Constructiom Problem and Purpose Statement Concluding Statement Executive Summary

3D Hologram Technology and Its Features – RealView Image Ltd Company RealView Image’s innovative Digital Light Shape technology (RealView Imaging, n.d.) creates interactive 3D holograms, which provides highly detailed and realistic view of a patient's anatomy that medical professionals can view and engage in real time. Their Holoscope-I system, which received FDA Clearance in 2021, converts data from CT scans and 3D ultrasounds into accurate and dynamic 3D holograms. These holograms floats in mid-air, enabling physicians to visually examine and manipulate it directly, improving the accuracy of diagnoses and procedures. (RealView Imaging, n.d.) Key features of this system include real time updates, which projects live holographic visuals during surgeries and natural interaction, allowing medical professionals to manipulate the holograms like physical objects. Additionally, the system produces high resolution imaging with detailed visuals and works with existing medical imaging techn...

Self-introduction and interest in engineering

Subject: Self-introduction Dear Prof Blackstone, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Treven Fong and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. Prior to this, I completed a diploma in Digital and Precision Engineering, where I gained fundamental knowledge in the field of engineering. I am particularly interested in developing infrastructure solutions that enhance urban living while tackling challenges such as climate change and sustainable development. Hands-on lab experiments and projects have allowed me to experience the practical applications of engineering, which further fuel my passion for the field. Beyond academics, I enjoy playing team strategy games like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. These games require effective collaboration and communication, and I often take the initiative to voice strategies and adapt to dynamic situations. Additionally, I enjoy single-player games that involve critical thinking, such as puzzle-solving games, which ...
