Interpretation of quote

Referring to the quote

“Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every

graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for

obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.”

Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,

Professors of Communication (2000)


 I believe that communication skills are very important as not only is it used in the workplace, it is used everywhere in our daily lives. Be it verbally or visually, maintaining eye contact, body language and speaking clearly with the right tone and pitch are just some examples of communication.

Being able to communicate with others proficiently and efficiently is a skillset that employers are looking for as it is very likely that one is required to work with colleagues or clients and possessing communication skills will allow one to convey the information accurately with clarity as intended. 

Without proper communication between 2 parties, misunderstandings could arise which could lead to conflicts and sour relationships. Therefore, it is important to demonstrate good communication skills to improve the chances of getting a job and to work well together with colleagues to achieve a goal.

    I agree with what you wrote. I feel that without proper communication, the message will not be able to get across to the other party properly. And with proper communication, the message will be clear and other people would be able to understand it easily

    I agree with your statements. I believe that how one communicates sets an impression on oneself - be it from how we talk or body language. With good communication skills, employers will be more interested in the employees or interviewees, hence chances of getting the job increased too.

Introductory Email

Dear Professor Blackstone, Thank you for taking the time to read my email. My name is Cephas and I am writing this email to introduce myself in the hope of you getting to know me better. I am currently a first-year student studying mechanical engineering at Singapore institute of technology. I graduated from Singapore polytechnic with a diploma in aeronautical engineering in 2021.  When I was 8 years old, my father brought me to the Air Force Open House where they showcased fighter jets such as the F16 and helicopters. I remember watching the jets soar in the sky with their engines roaring, traveling at such astonishing speeds. I was intrigued and curious about how the jet works and their ability to sustain flight. Through this, I developed a curious mindset, and I wanted to learn how things work and why. I believe this curiosity, along with my determination to understand problems and their solutions, is what led me to become an engineering student today. One of my strengths in com...

Research project/ report contribution

 1. Read about existing plant rearing devices through secondary research such as browsing online platforms that sells these plant rearing devices. With the information, I have a general idea of the limitations of current designs. This allows us to improve it by integrating the required features/solutions into our device. 2. Wrote on the current existing plant rearing devices such as Kollea Reliable Automatic Watering System and the Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 PRO in the report.  3. Research about Click and Grow's current app that is integrated into the Smart Garden. Downloaded the app on the google playstore to do a "playtest" on its features. Afterwards, I wrote about the companion app to highlights its pros and cons and what can be improved. With the limitations in mind, we can have a general idea of how our app can benefit users. 4. Researched about soil moisture and pH sensors that are currently in the market to determine if it is suitable to integrate it into our P...
