Story of a "Golden Island"

 T he webpage about “Solar Panel (University of Calgary, 2020)” introduces to readers about the materials and features of a solar panel. The solar light panels consist of a photovoltaic module (PV) that is assembled with multiple solar cells (The Economic Times, 2019), it comprises of silicon, phosphorous, and baron (University of Calgary, 2020). Solar Energy is harvested when the panel is exposed to direct sunlight and the energy is absorbed by the PV cells to form electrical charges which travel along the internal electrical field inside the cell, creating electricity (Solect, n.d). Firstly, solar panels are very durable and deteriorate at a very slow pace. An article reported “Solar Panel last for about 25 – 30 years” and was deemed inefficient by experts after that timeline (Richardson, 2021). Secondly, Solar panels come in different shapes and sizes with a maximum range of several inches (The Economic Times, 2019), this shows that solar panels can be shaped into different shap...

  The Economic Times released an article “What are solar light panels and how do they work” (2019) explained to the public the purpose, application, and features of solar light panels. The solar light panels consist of a photovoltaic module (PV) that is assembled with multiple solar cells, which are made of crystalline silicon. It is widely used for “residential and commercial lighting purposes (The Economic Times, 2019)”. Solar Energy is harvested when the panel is exposed to direct sunlight and energy will be absorbed by the PV cells and forms electrical charges which travel along the internal electrical field inside the cell, creating electricity. The electric current that was created will flow towards the inverter which converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) that was widely used in households and businesses (Solect, n.d.). Subsequently, the electric current will flow through another wire into the electrical panel known as the breaker box (Solect, n.d.). Its ...

  Dear Professor Brad,   My name is Jing Dao. I am writing this letter to provide you with a clearer understanding of my life’s journey and to share the goals I want to achieve at the end of this module. Since young, I was fascinated by airplanes and devices surrounding me, questioning my parents about how these machines were made, to the extent of disassembling laptops and phones to understand the mechanical assembly. Subsequently, my parents bought me handbooks on the mechanical parts of daily encountered machinery which sparked my interest and underpinned my engineering journey. Hence, I chose to pursue a diploma in aeronautical and aerospace technology at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) which further intrigued my interest in mechanical engineering and led me here, the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Before coming to university, I served in the Singapore Police Force as a ground response officer, responding to emergency calls and helping people in need. We are co...

  According to Pearson’s TalentLens Website, being a great leader requires many good qualities. However, all these traits would be enhanced with good interpersonal skills, and a strategic and critical thinking mindset. Leaders have to adopt a critical thinking mindset where they have to learn and adopt different solutions from other members while developing the most efficient way of solving problems. Subsequently, they must use their communication skills to relay the solution to the rest of the members and other stakeholders.  A leader with weak interpersonal skills is more likely to hinder their operations as the other members will not understand the purpose and result of the solution which may cause unnecessary actions that will obstruct the flow of operation. Critical Thinking and good communication skills are something that we have to adapt to ensure efficiency and effective problem solving, this will help the company in reducing unnecessary errors and costs, and make good...

“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)   According to Marc Riemer, Faculty member of Engineering from Monash University. Communication skills are a crucial part of engineering students’ academic journey, not only aiding in their studies but also helping them to be ready for their future professions.
