Introduction
Dear Professor Brad,
My name is Cliven Hew,
and I am a first-year student in SIT studying robotics. Before joining SIT as a
robotics student, I studied in Republic Polytechnic as an electrical and
electronics student. This is where I picked up an interest in robotics systems
engineering as I had to design a robotic crawler for my final year project.
I was tasked with
programming the raspberry pi to move the crawler inside the pipeline as its
purpose was to identify any defects found internally. Upon getting the crawler
to work, I felt pride and a sense of accomplishment, and it was this feeling
that made me realize that I wanted to be involved in similar projects upon
entering the workforce.
For my internship, I
had the opportunity to experience working as an aerospace technician. Through
the mentorship under the senior technicians, I improved my soldering skills and
learned many useful tools commonly used in repair work.
A communication
strength that I have is articulating clearly. I used to panic and speak quickly
during presentations. Through exposure to more presentations and taking deep
breaths to calm myself, I have found it easier to speak clearer and louder.
However, a
communication weakness that I have is fidgeting, such as constantly moving my
hands or feet while speaking. I am trying to remove this habit by being
conscious of my feet as I speak.
Finally, I would like
to present two specific learning goals for this module. Firstly, I want to
improve my body language and speaking skills through continuous exposure to
presentations and public speaking. Secondly, I want to improve my critical
thinking to perform problem solving and decision-making efficiently.
I hope this letter gives
a better insight on my decision to pick robotics and what I wish to achieve in
this course.
Yours sincerely,
Hew Tze Kin Cliven

ReplyDeleteThe self-introduction letter was clear and concised. However, you may want to combine paragraphs as some of it is too short.
ReplyDeleteDear Cliven,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this clear, concise and fairly well substantiated letter. The content is aligned with the assignment brief, you employ appropriate organization and the language use is good. You've also done well providing supporting information for each specific content area, which allows us readers to gain a basic understanding of who you are.
In the discussion of your study project and work experience, for example, you mention how you learned skills that have supported your tech development, and it's clear you can build on those in terms of the communication you carry out in our module. You also demonstrate a willingness to improve in areas like thinking and presenting, which is so important as a step toward excellence.
I look forward to working with you further this term.
Cheers,
Brad
