Summary on "Critical Thinking: The Soul of communication"

Based on the excerpt, it is a known fact that there is a profound interrelationship between communication and critical thinking. As mentioned on the website, "If communication is defined as a meaningful exchange of information, thoughts, and feelings between two living creatures, critical thinking is the engine that provides this meaning." From this statement, we can further derive that the art of communication and critical thinking could be systematized into one coherent skill. As a matter of fact, without the clarity of thought from critical thinking, effective communication could potentially be hindered. A leader must exercise these skills as problems will constantly arise, sometimes in the most unpredictable manner, testing how well they respond under pressure. A leader can compose himself with good critical thinking, which allows him to generate effective solutions. Subsequently, he has to communicate effectively to relay the plan to his team for execution. Thus, it is clear that both skills are necessary for a leader to perform to the best of his abilities in times of adversity.

Subject: Self Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Mu'izzuddin, and this is an introductory letter that will allow you to get to know me better. I am a year one student from class T5 of your communication module, pursuing a degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering. In 2018, I attained a diploma in Electrical Engineering with a Minor in Business Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. In my final semester, I interned at Poh Meng Engineering and had the opportunity to perform the role of a Quantity Surveyor. I followed my supervisor to various construction sites to analyze potential drawbacks in installing electrical components for different buildings. This job scope required me to refine my networking skills as I constantly interacted with engineers from the various echelons. This skill further benefitted me when I served my country as a soldier and instructor in the Artillery formation. I honed my interpersonal skills, which became my strength as I constantly in...

Post on Quotation for SIE 2016 : Effective Comm

"While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative."  Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016) Debra Kraft made the statement because she knows the art of effective communication is essential for an engineer. Their work is complex and technical, but not everyone they work with has the same technical expertise, so effective communication is important.

TECHNICAL REPORT : INTRO DRAFT 1 - Proposal for the Integration of the Speed Limiter with the New On-Board Unit (OBU)

  1. Background  In recent years, the frequency of speed-related accidents in Singapore has increased. According to Channelnewsasia (2021), speeding is Singapore's most committed traffic offence. Despite the installations of speed cameras, speed traps and the speed limits of 40km/h in School Zones and Silver Zones, 80km/h to 90km/h on most expressways, and 50km/h in most country areas unless stated otherwise, errant drivers are still negligent on the road as they refuse to adhere to the limits imposed (LTA, 2021). A recent case to illustrate how fatal speeding-related accidents can be is the Tanjong Pagar incident on 13 February 2021. The driver drove at an approximate speed of 200km/h on the narrow roads of Tanjong Pagar, which had a speed limit of 40km/h. The accident was a confluence of many factors, but an apparent cause was the nature of the road, which was not suitable for driving at such high speeds. The driver's negligence led to the death of 5 people, including himsel...
