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.

Long story short, I want to be able to make something like that in the future. That is my reason for joini...

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.
