Research Project And Tech Report Contribution

 1. Research on smart homes in Singapore, specifically for the elderly such as My Smart HDB Home @ Yuhua. In Singapore.

2. Researched the demographic of the elderly staying alone in Singapore and their relevant data from SingStat, a government agency for data tracking and analysis. Also added them into the report appendix.

3. Further read up on issues elderly who live alone face in Singapore, such as social-emotional and economic issues from the research paper, Home Alone: Older Adults in Singapore, a research paper by DukeNUS Medical School and Center for Ageing Research & Education. Also added them into the report appendix.

4. Find relevant housing information on elderly living, specifically 3-room flats and layout of them. 

5. Research on smart home system technology such as sensors, alarm/notification and voice recognition.

6. I interviewed our primary source, Ms Gayle Lau during our Zoom meeting regarding her past experience working in the hospital and how it can improve our solutions. 

7. I summarized up the entire tech report in our conclusion

8. Tidied up the reference list and rearrange them accordingly

Introductory Letter

  Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,   I am You Cong and I studied Automation and Mechatronic System with a Minor in Business Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. My interest in engineering came about when I was in secondary school, as I find myself constantly curious, and always on the lookout for new problems or solutions to existing problems. This sparks my interest in engineering as I can potentially solve a real-life problem. On top of that, I believe being able to come up with a solution is not enough, but able to discuss and pitch your ideas to others is equally important. The problems will never be solved if the solutions are not communicated well. Hence, I chose business management as my minor.   My communication strength is being able to pitch my ideas to other fellow engineers and potential investors. As someone who has gone through both engineering and business management courses, I am well-equipped to communicate with others at ease. With my vast engine...

Critital Reflection

As someone who had went through communication modules in poly, I thought I can cruise this module with ease. I have never thought of learning new things, hence I do not have any expectation of this module. Indeed, I was very wrong as every lesson is a new beginning for me. From citations, to research technique to presentation habits, I have pick up new things along the way and use them throughout the assignments. Outside of this module, I have also applied them for my external internship application, Singapore Valley Application. Hence, I am grateful for going through module in my first trimester of Uni. I have further improved my presentation skills through the vodcast on employability and oral presentation. These 2 assignments are required of different presentation skills as they are to different audience. The vodcast is for future employers and is done through video, whereas the oral presentation ids done verbally to stakeholders. For the vodcast, I am tasked to create a 2 minutes p...

Reader Response Draft 2

  The article “Bosch Active Line GEN3 '' by Gepida (n.d.) introduces Bosch Active Line e-bike drive, its functions, and features. The author also mentions that with the Bosch Active Line drive, everyone can go faster and further. With e-bike on the rise these days, German engineering company, Bosch, has begun the creation of their first e-bike motor drive since 2009. Bosch’s Active Line drive feature plastic helical gear with torque sensor. The torque sensor will detect the input torque and relay it into the motor to support cyclists when pedalling. With 5 different modes, cyclists can adjust to their needs accordingly (Cameron, 2019). The helical gears will allow a smoother and maximum efficiency output. Being versatile and adaptable is what Bosch is looking to provide for all cyclists. Bosch Active Line drive is the best choice of e-bike drive for cyclists as its motor and gers outperform its predecors even with its limiotations. By using Bosch Active Line drive, cyclists can...
