Paraphrase of task #3

“While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers

face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative.”

Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016)


According to Kraft(2016), engineering is very technical so when engineers explain to a global team, they must be able to understand key points of the project, otherwise the end product will be different from expected.

    The paraphrasing is good and I could understand what you are trying to put across. I too agree that engineers will need to understand clearly on the task at hand before they are able to lead the team or explain to the audience in a way that they will be able to understand.

Self Introduction Letter

Subject: Self Introduction Dear Professor Blackstone,  My name is Chin Yue Feng, I am writing this to introduce myself as a student in your communication module. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a degree in Environmental and Water Technology from the School of Life Sciences. Originally I planned to start working once I finished my national service, but my friends and family convinced my it would be better to try to get into university and study before going out to work. I chose to study a civil engineering degree as it would broaden my job options when I graduate. My strength in communication is listening to what the other parties are saying. I tend to be very quite and prefer to listen to what others say. When others talk, I can remember what they say clearly although I do not talk much. This has led to many awkward taxi rides where the driver talks about random things in their life. I am able to speak comfortably to people my age, but for people who are older than me, I ten

Critical Reflection

At the start of this course, I thought this module would be like other communication modules in polytechnic. However, I found that this module was very engaging compared to others as there was more emphasis on interacting in class with each other. I learnt a lot about communication and critical thinking through this module. One key takeaway from this module I took is the skills to find information and properly cite them in my reports. I did not know much about how to find information for technical reports beyond just searching it up on google scholar. While doing the technical report for this module, I found that using key words for searching made it easier to find relevant information quickly. For citations, I was taught how to cite in polytechnic in my communication modules, but the importance of citation was never emphasized in polytechnic. Most of the time, just having a reference page with the links to the sources you took from was enough. The only times I had to properly cite my
