Project Contribution

-

 My contributions for the project:

1. Researching Automation and Green Plan Integration:

    Study the Singapore Green Plan 2030 to understand its sustainability objectives, particularly in            agriculture and resource efficiency.

    Research how automation in hydroponic systems aligns with these goals, such as reducing water            consumption and enhancing local food production.

    Keywords:

  •     "Singapore Green Plan 2030 agriculture goals"
  •     "Sustainability through automation in farming"
  •     "Water efficiency in vertical farming systems"
  •     "Green Plan impact on urban farming"


2. Incorporating Sustainability Metrics:

Identify measurable sustainability metrics (e.g., water savings, reduced maintenance effort, improved resource efficiency) to evaluate the success of the automated system.

Explore examples of similar projects or policies that demonstrate alignment with Green Plan objectives.

Keywords:

  • "Sustainability metrics for hydroponic farming"
  • "Urban farming projects under Green Plan"
  • "Energy-efficient automation in agriculture"


3. Research for Benefits Section

The benefits section highlights the advantages of vertical farming, focusing on sustainability, efficiency, and local food production.

Researching Environmental Benefits: Investigate how vertical farming reduces water usage, prevents soil degradation, and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.

Keywords:

  • "Environmental benefits of hydroponic farming"
  • "Water conservation in vertical farming systems"
  • "Carbon footprint reduction through urban farming"


4. Executive Summary

This section requires summarizing the project’s objectives and linking them to broader sustainability goals.

  1. Researching the Green Plan's Relevance:

    • Study specific Green Plan targets for local food production and resource efficiency, focusing on how vertical farming contributes to these goals.
    • Research the role of technology (e.g., automation, sensors) in achieving environmental sustainability within the Green Plan framework.
    • Keywords:
      • "Green Plan 2030 sustainable agriculture"
      • "Vertical farming and local food production in Singapore"
      • "Technology’s role in Green Plan agriculture"

  2. Drafting the Executive Summary:

    • Highlight how the proposed automation system addresses challenges in vertical farming, such as high maintenance and inefficiency.
    • Emphasize the alignment between project goals (e.g., water efficiency, reduced human intervention) and the Green Plan’s targets for sustainable agriculture and resource conservation.
    • Keywords:
      • "Writing executive summaries with sustainability focus"
      • "Linking project goals to Green Plan 2030"
      • "Sustainable urban farming summaries"

Self-Introduction Letter

-
Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Nurliza, and I am a student in your Critical Thinking & Communication class at SIT, where I am studying Mechanical Engineering. Before this, I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in mechatronics and robotics engineering. My interest in engineering began when I was a child. My father often bought me lego sets, which sparked my curiosity about how things work. I spent a lot of time building structures and solving puzzles, which helped me develop a passion for creating and solving problems. This early interest in designing and building things led me to study mechatronics and robotic engineering. I was excited by the idea of combining electronics, mechanics, and computer systems to create functional robots and other devices. It seemed like a perfect fit for my love of hands-on projects and technology. However, during my time at Polytechnic, I discovered that I was more interested in the mechanical aspects of engineering. One proj...

Summary of the Garmin Venu 3S Fitness Tracker Watch Draft 1

-
Image
The Garmin Venu 3S is a compact yet feature-packed smartwatch designed for health and fitness enthusiasts (Ullman, 2023). According from the same source one of its standout features is sleep tracking, which offers personalised sleep coaching to provide users with insights based on their sleep data, helping to improve recovery and daily health routines. The watch also delivers detailed morning reports that summarise key information from the user's sleep, providing further guidance for optimising rest and recovery (Song, 2023).   Another notable feature is the wheelchair mode, allowing users in wheelchairs to track their pushes and receive personalised activity insights, making the device more inclusive (Ullman, 2023). The ECG function is another health-centric tool, allowing users to monitor heart health and detect conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib) (Rusen, 2023). Additionally, stress tracking, HRV monitoring, and respiration tracking enhance the Venu 3S's capabilities ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION 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). Marc Riemer emphasizes that communication skills are crucial for engineering students not only to enhance their learning experience but also to prepare them for their future careers. As engineers, it's not enough to just develop innovative solutions; you must also effectively communicate your ideas and the benefits of your inventions to users, stakeholders, or the public. Good communication helps ensure that your work is understood, valued, and applied, ultimately maximizing its impact and utility. Thus, strong communication skills are integral to both the educational process and professional success in engineering. This explanation ties together the importance of communication in both the learning process and its application in real-w...
