Contributions to the reserch project

I contributed to the background research for the introduction of the technical report, such as:

The main problems warehouses are facing.

-Inaccurate inventory

-Suboptimal picking

-High labor costs

The current situation of warehouses and the importance of embracing technology (automation and robotics) in order to solve the issues.

Commonly used devices in a warehouse.

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.

Critical Reflection

As stated in my formal introductory letter, written at the start of the module, my personal goals from this module were to improve my formal writing. Now, nearing the end of the module, I feel that this module has helped to improve my report writing skills, such as using proper citations and how to make full use of GAI to help me in my writing. Thanks to the constructive feedback from my professor and peers, I was able to tweak my writing as needed in order to enhance the clarity and effectiveness in conveying a message. This has taught me to take feedback more seriously, as it is a great learning opportunity. During the project, I learned to collaborate with others, discussing ideas, splitting tasks and providing feedback. This has helped me improve my interpersonal skills. Furthermore, the feedback during the mock oral presentation was really useful in improving my verbal communication skills. It made me realise that the most important part of a good presentation is not how much cont...
