Lifesaving drones operate remotely to deliver essential medical supplies to rural areas   (Zipline, n.d.) . Therefore, the design must be reliable and cost-efficient to manufacture. The NX CAD software designed by Siemens optimises the design, testing and manufacturing processes. These unique features distinguish Siemens from its competitor. Some of its design optimisation features include 3D Design Validation, Design Interoperability, Product Modelling and many more  (Siemens, n.d.) . Such features allow the user to create an advanced virtual product model rather than costly physical prototypes. This feature will shorten the design time, lowering the development cost and improving product quality  (Siemens, 2019) . Syncrofit is a feature of the NX CAD software that automates tedious design tasks, and bill of materials (BOM) updates to speed up the procurement process  (Siemens, 2019) . This will, in turn, speed up the design realisation. The webpage also mentions th...

  The webpage “Lifesaving drones designed with CAD software” (SIEMENS, 2019), introduces the use of Siemens NX CAD software to design Life-saving drones. Among its many features, The NX CAD software is designed to optimize the design, testing, and manufacturing processes. In terms of design optimization, the software allows its users to use more virtual product models rather than more costly, physical prototypes to test the effectiveness of its design. This leads to shortened design time, which lowers the development cost and improves product quality ( SIEMENS 2019). The Syncrofit feature of the NX CAD software allows users to (make well-informed design decisions for an overall smoother path to design realization. It automates tedious design tasks and bill of materials (BOM) updates to speed up the procurement process. The simulation function of the NX CAD software in the case of designing Life-saving drones can perform virtual test flights while simulating the characteristics or ...

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,  I am writing this letter to introduce myself to you, hoping you will get to know me better. I am Jia Ming, a first year student studying robotic system engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in electronics. During my polytechnic internship, I worked for a robotic start-up company that specialises in creating book  shelf  scanning robots for libraries. My job scope was testing the robots at various libraries across Singapore and training the librarians on how to operate the robot safely and effectively. Having worked for that company for more than six months, I have gained an interest in robotics as I witness firsthand how robots can help boost productivity for an organisation. I genuinely believe that in the future, robots will be a part of our daily lives. Aside from academic interests, I have a slight interest in film photography. One of my weaknesses which, in my opinion...

After reading the article, The Soul of Communication, it has reinforced the importance of effective communication, especially for a leader in a workplace environment. As stated by a white paper from IDC (published in 2008) and the Project management institute's pulse, a lack of clear and coherent communication could be costly in a workplace. This can be attributed to the fact that poor communication in a workplace may result in the employees feeling less motivated to perform. Less motivated employees will affect the team's productivity, which may result in a loss of revenue for the company.  It also deepens my understanding of how critical thinking is deeply linked to how we communicate with each other in the workplace. Critical thinking allows us to gather our thoughts before we communicate logically. Those who speak without thinking are usually unclear. In a workplace environment, clarity is of utmost importance to ensure accurate information. Critical thinking is even more i...

  “Good Communication Is Essential” posted a statement from 2014 by Akbar R Khan, a Software Systems Engineer, stating that experienced engineers would recognise that a clear line of communication is essential for the ideas of an engineer to materialise into mature products, but engineering students would fail to notice that fact
