Importance of Communication Skills for Engineers

 “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)

Communication is an everyday skill in the working society, especially in the engineering field. Engineers often work in a group to identify design problems, and to work up a solution in different areas of the market. This process involves sharing ideas with detailed explanations, hence members of the group must be on the same page with each other. Therefore without effective communication skills, none of these can be achieved.


I also believe that effective communication involves conveying one's passion to the other party. Without doing so, the action of sharing our knowledge will be meaningless. 
Just as what Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States stated:
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

Who am I?

Dear Professor Brad, Greetings. My name is Gay Bing Shuen. My Christian name is Leonard, and hence you can call me Leo. I am a student taking a degree in mechanical engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology. I graduated from the Institute of Technology Education (ITE) with a certificate for Higher Nitec in mechatronics engineering (2014-2015), and afterward from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in automation mechatronic systems (2016-2018). In the past, I enjoyed building models such as the "Three Kingdoms" Gundam models, and wooden animal DIY kits. I was also intrigued by how machines work mechanically, such as wind turbines, or even an analog watch. Due to my burning curiosity for how things work, I enjoy taking things apart and fixing them. With my strength in mathematics and passion for hands-on work, I decided to take up engineering as my future career. Other than engineering related studies, I believe effective communication is a key life skill, whether it...

Summary Analysis Draft #1

According to the article “Introducing the Seabin Project” (2018), the Seabin works like a filter that captures the water with pollutants in it, separates them from the water, and makes it clean. The article stated that the Seabin requires an external power source that actuates a motor to “pump water to create a vortex”, allowing the Seabin to suck in pollutants along with the water. The pollutants are then captured by a detachable “catch-bag”, allowing only water to flow through. However, the bag cannot capture bulky objects. The article also mentioned that the Seabin can collect microplastic fibers, and absorb “petroleum-based oils and detergents.” Although the Seabin is made with recyclable materials, the project team wishes to make the catch-bag recyclable, and improve the Seabin’s power sourcing. Although the article describes how garbage can be prevented from flowing into the ocean by capturing it while it is still near the shore, the Seabin can be used as well for educational lea...

Critical Reflection

The Effective Communication Module was an enlightening learning opportunity. The professor, Prof. Brad Blackstone, introduced challenges to the students in coming up with a technical report for a mechanical design project idea and giving an oral presentation to the module's whole class. The intention was to help simulate what the students will encounter in future careers, which I feel was an excellent experience.  At the start of the module, the weaknesses I had mentioned in the first formal letter were overcoming anxiety for oral presentations, avoiding awkward pauses, and maintaining a constant pace when speaking. On the other hand, my goals were to gain skills to communicate with my colleagues what I wish to achieve with them from the project without being ambiguous. With Prof. Brad's guidance, the effective communication module has given several tasks to explore different writing forms during the lesson. The writing of design summary analysis has given me insight into how o...
