Formal letter of introduction

Dear Professor Brad,     My name is Janaishwaran and this is my letter of introduction. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in Electronics in the year 2020. I specialised in Robotics and automation. As I progressed through my diploma, my interest in Robotics was piqued after discovering I could automate several tedious tasks and integrate them into a physical system. Creating a prototype of a machine controlled by a mobile device for my final year project. It truly opened my eyes to the world of robotics. It made use of Bluetooth for connection, a servo motor, and a pixy camera that identifies and grips specific colour blocks. Following this, the machine can transport the blocks according to the user's input. Using Arduino to integrate the software with hardware, I found it fascinating to have my robot behave the way I coded it to .     Securing an internship at the third-largest global EMS and ODM company, Flextronics, expanded my knowledge of how a contract man

Module Reflection and Project Learning

  Module Learning This module has helped with shaping my critical thinking by reframing my concept of what constitutes. My initial goals were to be able to master effective oral presentation skills, as well as to be able to evaluate arguments, ideas, and credibility throughout this module. I can safely say that even though I wasn’t able to successfully meet my goals, I have made significant improvements when it comes to these aspects I have mentioned above. When evaluating arguments, I have tried to improve by organizing my thoughts clearly in my head before delivering them during a group discussion. Practice makes perfect and I believe that mastering the art of presentation skills is going to take more than just a few months in this module. It is such a beautiful aspect as even just simple placements of hands during a presentation can affect the public’s perspective of one’s confidence levels. I enjoyed reading the different tactics he employed to elicit student involvement, and whi

Reaction to short essay(soul of communication)

-
This excerpt teaches me how much of an impact effective communication and critical thinking have on huge industries. It has been a real eye-opener for me, as I would not have expected the effects of miscommunication in such industries to be so extreme. This excerpt has made me think a lot about my days as an intern at a 3D printing company. If good communication had not been present when passing down information from one building station to another, the printers might have been manufactured faulty, causing a huge loss in the company. I think communication and critical thinking are very effective skills. I feel that companies should emphasize their importance by having courses for employees related to effective communication and critical thinking. This way, they will be able to be more confident in their communication skills. I feel that with great communication, great job opportunities will also arise for employees when they can deliver their messages clearly and confidently to their e
