Descriptive Reflection

Dear Professor Brad, I am writing this letter to you to introduce myself. My name is Chua Yu Wei and I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a Diploma in Nanotechnology & Materials Science. After my National Service, I took a gap year to work in the engineering industry in the Quality Control sector, and through my work experience, I discovered my passion for working in the industry. My strength in communication is that I provide a good listening ear for people. By listening well to what others have to say, we would be able to understand each others' point of view. There are times certain topics that are uncomfortable to the person are brought up in a conversation, and I would change the topic to avoid any discomfort.

One of the key ways I have developed my critical thinking skills is through the assignments and activities that required me to analyze and evaluate various arguments. I found the use of different tools and techniques, such as Paul Elder’s Critical Thinking Framework, extremely helpful in identifying and evaluating the quality of arguments. I also improved my critical reflection skills through the various reflective exercises and assignments. I have learned how to reflect on my assumptions and biases and question my beliefs and values. This has helped me become more self-aware and open-minded, which are ess...

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.

To facilitate students' education and to better prepare them for their future careers, communication skills are a crucial part of engineering education. The communication skills among engineering students are significant because when the teachers are teaching the students, they can convey their messages to the students and the students would be able to understand the matter at hand faster. Furthermore, when we are out in the industry, more often than not, we would need to work in a group setting or even interact with other potential customers. So with great communication skills, we can get our point across without any issues.
