Research Project and Tech Report Contributions

  1. Wrote the cover page.
  2. Wrote and organised the content page.
  3. Wrote the executive summary by summarising our problem and purpose statement.
  4. Researched on the limitations of the smartwatches that are available on the market with the use of Google and brainstorm on how to overcome the gap (Problem statement).
  5. Researched using Google and ChatGPT on the necessary and key functions found on both an everyday watch and a fitness watch, using Apple Watch Ultra as a representative for everyday watch and Garmin Forerunner 265 for the fitness watch. (Solutions)
  6. Researched using Google and ChatGPT on the shortcoming and strengths of the Apple Watch Ultra and Garmin Forerunner 265 and incorporate both their strengths into the proposed design of the smartwatch. (Solutions)
  7. Wrote the limitations of the proposed design of the smartwatch with the information obtained from the research of the necessary and key functions of both an everyday watch and a fitness watch.
  8. In collaboration with my teammates, I contributed in writing a question on our survey as our primary research using Google forms.
  9. Sent the Google forms link to my family members, relatives, group of friends and athletes via Whatsapp and Telegram to receive data on the desirability of a dual-purpose smartwatch.
  10. Took down notes and the feedbacks given by Prof Brad Blackstone.
  11. Organised the content of our tech report upon consultation with Prof Brad Blackstone.

Formal Introductory Letter

Subject: Self-introduction Dear Professor Brad Blackstone, My name is Taufiq, and I am writing this email to introduce myself to you as a student in your critical thinking & communication class. I graduated from temasek polytechnic in May 2021 with a diploma in mechatronics with merit, and I am currently a freshman in singapore institute of technology, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering.  My interest in engineering started when I was just 9 years old when I first visited the Changi Airport. I was initially impressed by the numerous airplanes that were all around Changi Airport. I found it intriguing that such a large, hefty machine could soar thousands of meters above the ground while carrying hundreds of passengers and goods. Being the inquisitive young boy I was, I became curious as to how these airplanes were made and that cemented it for me. I was going to be an engineer in the future. My strength in communication is that I am an active listener. I tend not to

Quote Interpretation

  “I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is so important). It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch.” Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011) Interpretation Due to how broad the engineering field is, the vast majority of people think that engineering is merely putting things together when it is actually more than just that. Engineering is the application of both science, math and engineering design to solve problems and applying it in real-life such as planning, designing and building of machines, electrical systems, infrastructure etc. On top of that, t here are different types of engineering such as civil, mechanical, marine and many more and therefore, different purpose, application and job scope. In addition, engineering can be complex and
