Critical Reflection

Module Learning: Since the start of this module, my primary aim has been to enhance my effective communication skills. Throughout its duration, I have noticed improvements in this area. One aspect that significantly contributed to my progress was the task of reading through the slides. This exercise not only strengthened my English proficiency but also fostered a greater sense of familiarity with the language. Moreover, the module presented an opportunity for me to work on another objective of mine: refining my skills in delivering formal presentations. A significant highlight was the group research project, which required us to pitch our research topic to the professor. This task provided me with a valuable chance to hone my speaking abilities. Both mock presentations and formal presentations were instrumental in this regard. Following the mock presentation, I received constructive feedback on areas for improvement, ranging from presentation delivery to specific points to avoid. This

Contributions to the Research Project

12 March 2024 1. I helped come out with the concept of the design solution, on how to attach the seat to the deck of the lorry. 2. I helped to design the mechanism needed for our team design solution, using the j hook to attach to the railing of the lorry (deck). 3. I draw out the different views of the design solution to elaborate on the benefits of having the designed solution. 4. I asked the construction workers for feedback on the level of comfort they are when being transported from site to site. 5. I researched for reference on how to design for our design solution. 6. I had to watch videos on how a foldable chair works to better design the foldable chair attachment. 7. I researched the dimensions of the lorry to ensure that the design solution that I came out with would fit the deck of the lorry and have enough space to cater for the worker to move around.  8. I measured the dimensions of the chair to ensure the design solution has enough seat space for the workers to sit. 4 Apr

Summary Reader Response - Draft #3

 In the article titled “S’pore’s fifth desalination plant opens on Jurong Island”, written by Qing (2022), functions and features of Jurong island desalination plant are described. Desalination is a water treatment process which aims to convert seawater into potable water. According to Qing (2022), Jurong island desalination plant receives seawater used to cool the complex, a utility plant supplying steam and electricity for chemical companies on Jurong Island for processing into potable water. The plant processes consist of dissolved air flotation, ultrafiltration and seawater reverse osmosis which removes pollutants such as dissolved salt, minerals, bacteria, etc. One notable feature is that this highly automated plant only requires two to three people to operate, making it the most manpower-efficient plant in Singapore. Moreover, Public Utility Board PUB (2023) mentioned that "its co-location with Tuas Power’s Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex allows it to derive synergies in res

Initial Research Path

Description of Desalination 1. For the research, our team chose water treatment system as the topic to research  2. Our team uses gAI (Chatgpt) to generate an overview of the desalination water system on its features and function. The prompts used are as follows: "What makes desalination, a water treatment system?" "Compared to other water systems, what makes desalination unique compared to them" and "Help create an overview on desalination." 3. We searched Google for more information on what company or technology uses desalination and we found an article on the Jurong Island desalination plant from Straits Times.
