Summary Draft v2 - Autonomous Vehicles


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 organizations have adjudicated a temporary national standard termed Technical Reference 68 (TR68). According to Fitch Ratings, the implementation of TR68 would promote the growth and acceptance of AVs in Singapore. This would also further entice autonomous technology firms into Singapore. With the combined factors of the aging population and the pressure to monitor the drivers’ mental capabilities, the government is viewing into the option of AVs. 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 the emergence of AVs could positively impact Singapore soon.

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 responded with suggestion
