Soul of Communication

 Subject: Thoughts on Communication and Critical Thinking impacting my future role as a leader

In the last 4 weeks of lessons in Effective Communication (MEC1281), I've definitely been made more aware of the importance of communication and critical thinking skills, as well as the repercussions it brings or the difference it makes. The short excerpt taken from the article on "The Soul of Communication" on Pearson’s TalentLens website, also mentions that the lack of communication skills and critical thinking can actually impact the success of companies and their projects. I feel that with MEC1281, I am able to better improve my communication skills and pick up more critical thinking methods and habits. Given that, I see the road of my future role as a leader to be a much easier and more fluent task. I will minimally have the skills required to take on the role and to also execute better. This is because I will know how to communicate clearly and effectively to my subordinates so as to get a job done correctly. During projects, good communication skills can help close the distance between myself and unfamiliar colleagues, or when making suggestions or sharing ideas during brainstorming. Critical thinking skills can help to evaluate the problem and come up with feasible solutions quicker, eliminating unnecessary ideas.

Letter of Introduction

  Subject: Self-introduction letter of Teo Joshua To the readers of my blog,    My name is Teo Joshua, and I am writing this letter to formally introduce myself and tell you more about who I am as a person. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in April of 2019 with a diploma in aerospace engineering. I went on to serve my 2 years of national service, where I trained as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist. I secured a place at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SiT) as a mechanical engineering student and began my undergraduate journey in September of 2021. My interest in mechanical engineering started when I was working with remotely operated vehicles during my national service. For such a small robot, I was fascinated by its capabilities, such as movable arms to grab objects and long-range voice transmitters for communication. I was also intrigued by the technology behind the coding of the robots to do what they are supposed to do, which piqued my interest in programm

Summary Reader Response #4

In the article "How Artificial Intelligence, Robots Enhance Forest Sustainability in Finland", McQueen (2019) states that the Finnish Forest Centre is in charge of overseeing the conservation of Finland's forests and hence came up with an ambitious solution to use robots to autonomously execute most of the forest conservation tasks. McQueen mentions that the data used has to be precise and attainable before the Finnish Forest Centre can use it to train the robots. Aerial and lidar imagery is used to construct forest inventories and record tree measurements and information on species. The data the robots need is then placed in a geographic information system (GIS). The development director of the Finnish Forest Centre, Hamalainen, and his team see robots bringing benefits. People owning more than 65% of Finland’s forests can have simpler and more proactive management of their forests. McQueen reports that the Finnish Forest Centre is also using Artificial intelligence (AI)
