Summary (Draft 2)

According to the article, “What are Solar Light Panels and how do they work” from Economic Times, Team ProductLine (2019) mentioned that solar light panels are utilised for residential and commercial lighting. Photovoltaic (PV) modules, encompassing high-quality crystalline silicon solar cells, are used to create solar light panels. With these PV cells, light energy from the sun can be transformed into electrical energy to be utilised or stored. In terms of features, solar light panels are extremely durable and will only degrade gradually. The adequacy of these panels decreases by just 2% or less after one full year. Not only do solar panels reduce the dependability on conventional power sources and fossil fuels, but they also do not produce deleterious greenhouse gases. PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can range in length from a few millimetres to several inches. These cells are combined to create PV modules that can be up to “few feet wide and several feet long” a...

Summary (Draft 1)

The article “What are Solar Light Panels and how do they work” from The Economic Times, Rise (Team Product Line, 2019) Both residential and commercial lighting uses solar light panels. Photovoltaic (PV) modules are used to create solar light panels. High-quality crystalline silicon solar cells typically make up these PV modules. Using PV cells, light energy from the sun can be transformed into electrical energy that can be used immediately or stored for future use. In terms of features, Solar light panels are extremely durable and only gradually degrade. Over the course of a full year, these panels' effectiveness drops by just 2% or less. Solar panels do not produce harmful greenhouse gases, reducing the reliance on traditional power sources and fossil fuels and helping the environment. Individual solar or PV cells can generate electricity on their own and are constructed of semiconductor materials, such as silicon. PV cells can range in length from a few millimetres to several i...

Submission 1a: Descriptive Reflection (Formal Introductory Letter)

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone, I hope you are well. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nur Sabrina. I am currently a Year 1 student at the Singapore Institute of Technology pursuing further studies to accomplish a bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering. I have graduated from the Institute of Technical Education College East with a Higher NITEC in Mechanical Engineering and from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Mechatronics. Due to exposure to the subject Design & Technology (D&T) in secondary school, I was given an opportunity to design my own product which is a bicycle holder for my ‘N’ Level coursework. In the process of production, I have developed skills in creative design and drawing software. I became interested in engineering in both conventional drawing and modeling methods as well as industry-standard CAD software such as SOLIDWORKS. This course helped me to develop originality and problem-solving abilities in additi...

Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

 " Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective  leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a  sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across  clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even  matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Effective leadership demands the development of great communication abilities. To convey a sense of urgency and zeal to others, the leader must be able to impart information and ideas. Having a message is useless if the leader cannot communicate properly and inspire people to take action. A good leader will have a great impact on others.
