Summary Draft v1 : Autonomous Vehicle

Noble, L. W. (2019, July 8). Singapore revs up engines for autonomous vehicle race. Retrieved from https://sbr.com.sg/transport-logistics/exclusive/singapore-revs-engines-autonomous-vehicle-race

In the article, “Singapore revs up engines for autonomous vehicle race”, Noble (2019) mentions the growing trend of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in Singapore. To incorporate AVs into Singapore’s transport system, four parties adjudicated a temporary national standard termed Technical Reference 68 (TR68). According to Fitch Ratings, TR68 could promote the growth and acceptance of AVs. AVs would also entice foreign autonomous technology firms into the country leading to growth in the industry. With the combined factors of the aging population and the pressure to monitor the mental capabilities of drivers over the age of 75, the government is viewing into the option of AV implementation. Elaine Chao (2019) stresses that “AV could pave the way for road safety, citing that 94% of vehicular accidents have taken place due to human error”. AVs would not only benefit the safety of the aged but also opens up mobility opportunities for people with disabilities. In summary, Noble (2019) asserts that AVs could provide vast opportunities for Singapore’s transport system.

    Hey Jantzen, overall you have written a good summary. Here are some pointers to share:

    1) Your main claim has been conveyed clearly at the start.

    2) Correct usage of citation convention, paraphrasing and quoting which is good.

    3) The examples and secondary supports that you have provided were able to support your main claim, which is excellent.

    4) Your closing statement and main claim are talking about two different things, you might want to relook into that.

    5) The sentence "With the combined …. AV implementation" is rather too long, consider shortening it.

    Keep up the great work.

Overall, I am able to understand your summary well and I am able to see your supporting points clearly.

Assignment 1 - Formal Letter

Dear Mdm. Fazilah I am Jantzen Lee Jian En from SIE2016 Effective Communication Tutorial Group 3. Graduated with a diploma in International Logistics & Supply Chain Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I had initially intended to pursue my further studies in the same field. However, due to the changing industry needs, multiple renowned universities had decided to remove the program deeming it obsolete. Despite the uncertainty, I remained unfazed and explored other fields of programs. It was then when I chanced upon Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land) in SIT. As a Thinking Tinkerer, I was intrigued by the workings of complex mechanisms and equipment. Also, the railway industry in Singapore is ever-growing with URA’s masterplan. After considerations, I decided to further pursue SIE (Land) with my supply chain knowledge as a value-added skill set that I can offer to my future employers. One of the communication strengths I have gained is having confidence. Through...

Critical Reflection

1.      Module Learning SIE 2016 Effective Communication has been a fruitful and enriching module through my first trimester in SiT. At the beginning of the module, my main personal goal was set to develop myself to be an engaging and active listener. Reflecting upon the goals I have set at the start of the course, I believed that I have improved and developed myself to be a better active listener than before. Through the weekly discussions and interaction in a group setting, I was able to comprehend the different communication styles of different individuals and respond accordingly. When we proceeded to our research project, this became especially helpful as Jing Yi and Seng Yee have different personalities and working styles. This led to different interpretations of a statement made. Hence, I would converse in a specific unique method for each of my teammates. When conversing with Seng Yee, I made sure I understood his statement to the detailed level and respon...
