The
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 shapes and sizes to
meet different requirements making them highly versatile. Lastly, solar panels
do not depend on traditional power sources and fossil fuels, making them
extremely environmentally friendly. With fossil fuels running low while global
warming increasing, small countries such as Singapore have worked towards solar
energy due to its overwhelming advantages. Other countries should also focus on
their Solar Industries due to their versatility, durability, and eco-friendliness instead of wind energy which was widely used
in western countries.
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 constantly
