Summary (Background) Draft 1

-

According to the article "offshore floating wind turbine ‘seatwirl’ stores kinetic energy to stabilize voltage” posted at designboom(Matthew, B, 2022), it introduces the SeaTwirl vertical axis turbine(VAWT). According to the article, Seatwirl uses kinetic energy from the wind pushing its blades to produce electrical energy as one of its functions. In terms of features, the SeaTwirl VAWT consists of a dynamic wind turbine, a vertical axis wind turbine blades, and a floating turbine body. The dynamic wind turbine enables the SeaTwirl VAWT to withstand high wind speeds that are experienced further out in the ocean. The blades of the SeaTwirl VAWT can utilize wind regardless of its direction. The floating wind turbine body enables the SeaTwirl VAWT to operate on waters with depths lower than 200 meters.

  Subject: Self-Introduction Letter - Keris Dear Professor Brad, I am Keris, a first-year student at SIT, deeply passionate about mechanical engineering. This trimester, I am excited to attend your classes for critical thinking and communication. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in engineering with business. Despite having the option to focus on either business or engineering, I wholeheartedly chose engineering, specifically in the field of mechanical engineering. Over the course of three years, I not only acquired knowledge but also discovered my true passion for mechanical engineering. During my internship at EOS Singapore, an additive manufacturing company, I was initially involved in software-based data entry and non-technical tasks. However, what truly ignited my passion was observing application engineers engaged in the intricate process of transforming engineering drawings into physical parts through 3D printing. This experience fueled my curiosity and insp

Interpretation of quote

-
 "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." - Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Interpretation of quote: Effective leaders must not only communicate information and ideas properly but also foster in their teams a feeling of urgency and passion. It will align team members towards similar goals and prevent errors, especially in fast-paced circumstances. Improved communication skills give clarity and direction, decreasing misunderstandings and enhancing goal awareness. This improves workflow productivity and overall team effectiveness.
