How Kai Xiang Summary/ backgroud draft 1

 According to the webpage "turbofan engine” from SKYbrary(n.d.) and "turbofan engine” from NASA (n.d.), a turbofan engine, also known as a fanjet engine or bypass engine, is the latest form of jet engine that utilizes both high speed exhaust gasses and bypass air, amplified by a duct fan which is propelled by a jet core to propel an airplane through the sky. Similar to other gas turbines, the turbofan engine consists of a core engine, which is stationed between a fan at the front and a turbine at the back. More specifically, a turbofan engine is made from parts like an inlet, a cowl, fan compressor, burner, core turbine, fan turbine, core shaft, fan shaft, and a nozzle. Many present-day aircrafts use turbofan engines for their high propulsive force and low fuel consumption.

Introductory Email

 Dear Professor Blackstone,      I hope this email finds you well. I am How Kai Xiang from class S12 of your critical thinking and communication class, and I am writing this email to introduce myself to you.      I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in Aerospace Electronics in 2021 and am currently a year one student at Singapore Institution of Technology, studying Mechanical Engineering. I changed my field of study from aerospace to mechanical engineering as after 3 years of learning about aerospace electronics, I realised that when it comes to engineering, I prefer things that relate to robots more than just planes.     Since I was younger, I have always liked a show called Kamen Rider, where the main character transforms with a belt into a cyborg superhero to fight the monster of the week. Long story short, I want to be able to make something like that in the future. That is my reason for joining  mechanical engineering, to gain the fundamental skills to design and m

Interpretation of quote

“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) My interpretation of this quote is that for efficient and effective work to be done, communication is key. Especially in a globalised world, where people from all walks of life with different language and culture can participate in a project, the ability to communicate well is all the more important.  One example of this is when working with someone from China who can only speak in Chinese as someone who can only speak and write English. People in their home county will be more used to using their country's own system and language.  Even with programmes like google translate to assist in conveying meaning, the result of the translation will never as good as being able to understand the other person directly.
