Summary/Reader Response Draft #1(Firefighting Robots)

  The article "Firefighting robots go autonomous" (Little.2021), discussed the capabilities of these robots and the benefits of these machines. With more than 350,000 American homes burning annually and climate change contributing to 10,000 active daily wildfires worldwide. Robots can offer some respite to firefighters entering blazing buildings or traversing steep mountains. Over 3000 Americans die from fires annually, which includes an average of 80 firefighters (Little. 2021). With technological advancement, firefighters are now equipped with robots to aid their work. The Los Angeles City Fire Department can be seen using robots to aid them, one of the robots is the Robot System 3 (RS3). The $300,000 RS3 was funded by the American Firefighting Foundation, the unit is capable of blasting water 10 times the rate of a conventional fire hose and has four cameras that can show where the water is being sprayed and thermal sensory capability that can detect victims (Little,2021)....

Self introduction of myself

Subject: self introduction of myself Dear Professor Brad, My name is Lee Wei En, and the purpose of this email is to introduce myself. I received a diploma in mechatronics engineering from Temasek Polytechnic in 2020, and I'm currently enrolled in SIT's mechanical engineering program. After my internship I started to develop an interest in engineering. In order to land on a higher-paying job, my father wanted me to major in engineering. The interest of engineering did not become apparent to me until I completed an internship at Liebherr Singapore. There, I discovered how engineers use a variety of engineering skills to improve systematic ways to check products for quality before passing them on to customers. My interest grew after that and decided to continue studying to advance my engineering capabilities. My outgoing personality, which enables me to express myself in front of others, is a strength of mine. But only when I'm speaking Chinese. My weakness is that I read...

Unit 1 ,Task 5.2( How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace.)

I believed that good communication skills and critical thinking are essential to be a leader in the workplace. According to pulse research from whitepaper from the Project Management Institute’s, effective communication with all stakeholders is the most important success factor in project management. According to the report, US$75 million  is at risk for every US$1 billion spent on a project. This is also supported by IDC in a 2008 whitepaper. According to 2008 whitepaper by IDC, there is a loss of an estimated 37 billion in businesses in the United states (US) and United kingdom(UK) due to employee misunderstanding and poor communication. Hence, as a leader, I need to convey the correct message in order not to create misunderstanding which is a chain effect that cost unnecessary losses to the company and will affect the decision of stakeholders and investors. Critical Thinking for leaders is to evaluate their judgment and how their decisions affect the outcomes of the company. The...
