UCS1001 MDME - Faiz

  Research Pathway of Celeste and Faiz on Creaform Inc. Peel 3.CAD(3D scanner) Faiz was looking for a 3d scanner The team researched and gather facts and figures from other supporting websites.(https://peel-3d.com/products/peel-3-cad/), (https://center3dprint.com/3d-scanner-peel-3-cad) The team watched a youtube video to better visualise and understand the system and how it works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH6QemqRUcg) The team noted down the various features and functions of the system in a google docs. The team then compiled the research and write the summary

Dear Prof Blackstone, I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Faiz, a student in your critical thinking and communicating class. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and share with you my goals for this module. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in robotics and mechatronics in 2021. My interest in engineering stems from my childhood. Having been raised on a farm in Malaysia, my siblings and I didn't have much to do for fun. In order to pass the time, we would work on mini projects such as building cat houses and a seesaw. These memories instilled into me a love for tinkering, which led me to pursue an education and career in engineering. One of my communication strengths is being open-minded. For example, during group discussions I tend to listen to what people have to say, extrapolating the pros and cons and thinking of ways to improve upon the idea. This helps to foster critical and objective thinking. On the other hand, my weakness is that I ...

"Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students' education but also to prepare them for their future careers."      Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) My partner and I agree with the statement above. We think that professors need to be able to deliver the learning material in an engaging and precise manner in order to properly impart knowledge onto the students who will become the next generation of engineers. Furthermore, we believe that communication is a two way street and as such students also need to do their part by voicing out their concerns and not be afraid to ask for help.
