The Soul of Communication Reflection

After reading the article, I learnt the importance of critical thinking and effective communication. I learnt that the lack of these 2 skills will result in miscommunication, which can cause the company a huge amount of financial loss. Such losses could be avoided if companies focused on critical thinking and effective communication trainings, which would prevent miscommunication in the workplace.

Critical thinking is also known as the force behind effective communication. Critical thinking allows us to organize our thoughts and put them together before we decide to relay the message to our colleagues and peers. As a result, critical thinking prevents vagueness and miscommunication in communication. Critical thinking also gives more credibility to our words as they are not spoken under influence of our emotions.

In my opinion, leaders in the workplace need to know the importance of critical thinking and set an example for their colleagues to follow. However, it is everyone’s responsibility to practice them in order for effective communication to take place.

Introduction Letter

Dear Professor Brad, I am writing to formally introduce myself to you. My name is Joleen Tan, and I am a first-year robotics systems engineering student from the Singapore Institute of Technology. I recently graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics.   I have always enjoyed building things from scratch even until now, where I enjoy activities such as knitting, embroidering, and building Lego sets. This passion made me decide to take the leap of faith from IT to engineering as I want to be able to make something with my hands and watch it come to life. Additionally, with the increase in demand for automation, I am confident that I will be able to secure a job that lines with my passion after graduation with this degree.   My strength in communication lies in knowing when to speak and when to listen. During conversations, I am able to provide a listening ear while throwing in necessary inputs. Furthermore, with my knack for be...

NASA Ingenuity Summary and Readers Response Reupload

On February 18, 2021, helicopter Ingenuity ; landed on Jezero  Crater, Mars, along with rover, Perseverance (Gohd , 2021). Ingenuity is the first aircraft to have flown on Mars. According to Mimi Aung, Ingenuity’s project manager at NASA, Ingenuity had been fully tested on Earth before the Mars mission.   The final prototype for Ingenuity flew in a space simulator chamber inside the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which was programmed to imitate the Martian atmosphere (Aung, 2018). According to NASA, Ingenuity’s main responsibility was not research, but to test and prove that flight is possible on Mars. While it is only 0.49 meters tall with a weight of 1.8kg, its 1.2 meters carbon-fiber rotors can spin up to 2500 revolutions per minute. Ingenuity faced several challenges during its mission, such as attempting flight in Mars' thin atmosphere and dealing with wind and dust storms as well as getting enough energy for survival.   Ingenuity succeeded in its first three flig...
