Personal Statement

-

Jean, a student from Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), currently pursuing her degree in Civil Engineering. As the amount of food waste continues to increase through the years, Jean sees the need to help minimise the quantity of food waste that are sent to the nation’s depleting landfill, as everyone  have an important role to help save the Earth. Hence, together with her team members, they strive to increase the amount of recycled food waste by their proposed waste treatment system which will in turn help sustain our environment.

Formal Introduction

-
Dear Professor Blackstone I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself. My name is Jean D’Cruz and I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) last year with a diploma in electronic and computer engineering. Through internship and the curriculum at NP, I have gained a deeper understanding on electronics and computer engineering. However, ever since I was in secondary school, I have always enjoyed the design and technology classes.  The amount of thought in designing and creating a product of my own in secondary school was something I enjoyed doing . Through the years, I have often found myself admiring at the infrastructures of our society. Furthermore, I have also pondered on how certain structures are built, the design process and considerations engineers had considered in building a structure.   Hence, I decided to take up the degree in civil engineering offered by SIT.  In terms of communication, I have found it relatively hard to speak in front of

Interpersonal conflict

-
Sometimes in a stressful environment, we may feel frustrated, and without realizing, channel all of this frustration to the people around us, which may then lead to a conflict. Last year, during the long break before starting university, I worked part-time at Singapore Zoo as a   photographer. As part of the job scope, we had to also do sales and we had to reach a target amount by the end of the day. Usually there are three staffs stationed at the sales kiosk, however on my second day of work, due to the lack of manpower, there were only two of us.  Before the hectic period of the day, my colleague taught me briefly on how to place an order on the system so that the photo can be printed immediately and thereafter attend to more customers. Due to the brief instructions on how to use the system, I could not comprehend most of what was taught to me. Immediately after this, there was a huge group of tourist who came to view their photos and when I had to placed an order I ha

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Dear Mr. Blackstone,                                                                                                     Re: Proposal for Implementation of Food Waste Recycling Technology in SIT Punggol   This letter is prepared in response to the call for proposals regarding an engineering issue in Singapore to improve the recyclability of food waste. In this proposal, the team has identified that the new campus at SIT@Punggol, can be a test-bed for exploring the potential combination of technologies to further reduce food waste. This report has been prepared with the intention of implementing a food waste recycling machine that combines technologies of converting food waste into by-products such as reusable water and fertilizers.   The report consists of a description of the current machines using recycling technologies, the rationale behind the proposed solutions, an evaluation of the benefits, and a detailed summary of all related primary and
