Project contributions (Research Project)

1. I proposed implementing windmills as a method to produce renewable energy for greenhouse operations. To assess feasibility, I conducted research through Google and consulted ChatGPT for additional insights.

2. Collaborated with the team in brainstorming sessions to evaluate individual research projects, ultimately deciding to focus on improving the Comcrop rooftop greenhouse.

3. Wrote the gap portion of the problem statement 

4. Proposed the Apple Vision Pro as a possible research project the team can work on.

5. Help rework the gap portion of the problem statement, reworded it to connect with the ideal portion with regards on how Comcorp uses non-renewable energy from the standard electrical grid as well as recycled water from fish tanks. 

6. Conducted research using Google and ChatGPT prompting the search engine/gAI “determine how to calculate the amount of condensate a Condensate Recovery System can collect”. This involved understanding the system's specifications and how environmental factors, particularly the operating climate, influence condensate collection. This knowledge was used to write up the "Maximising water reused" section under the benefits of the system. ChatGPT was used to refine the language.

7. Conducted research on how much water is needed to produce 1kg of lettuce hydroponically by looking at articles and research papers on Google & Google Scholar, used that information to calculate the potential amount of lettuce that can be produced with the amount of condensate recovered from the system(Point 6). 

8. Conducted research by looking at Comcrop’s price of lettuce on Lazada through Google, took that value and used it to calculate the potential financial gain from the lettuce produced hydroponically(Point 7). With this information, I wrote the "Financial Gain from the system" under the benefits section. 

9.Conducted extensive research on condensate recovery systems using various sources, including Google, ChatGPT, and Google Scholar. I explored the operational principles of the system and assessed its feasibility for implementation at ComCrop. Based on this research, I wrote the final draft of the background section of the project regarding condensate recovery systems, detailing how the system works and evaluating its potential for use in sustainable farming practices. ChatGPT was used to refine the language. 

10. Contributed to the report by writing the 'Secondary Research' section, detailing the various sources and methods the team used to gather information that supported our analysis and findings.

11. Conducted research on the IntelliDose Controller by looking at HydroBuilder's website, looked at technical specification sheet of the device as well as prompted ChatGPT "What is a IntelliDose Controller" to write the final draft about the IntelliDose Controller under the background section of the report. ChatGPT was used to refine the language. 

12. Used ChatGPT to arrange the report's references in alphabetical order.

Self Introduction Letter

Dear Professor Blackstone, I’m Nicholas, and I’m writing this letter as a self-introduction. I graduated from Mechanical Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic and before that, I attained a NITEC in Mechanical Technology from ITE College West where my engineering journey started. I took an interest in the engineering field as I've always had an interest in creating things, from building guns out of Legos to building an elevator in the video game Minecraft when I was a young boy. This naturally led me to pursue engineering where I can learn about engineering theories to apply my passion for creativity to solving real-world problems.  One of my communication strengths is the ability to provide reassurance to people. I only realized this much later in my life when I was an instructor at Officer Cadet School and feedback was given by my cadets that this was one of my strengths. There were instances where my cadets wanted to fall out due to fatigue from training as their afraid that they ...

Quote intepretation

  "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. Fadlan and I believes that this quote talks about the importance of being able to deliver a message across clearly especially when in a leadership position. A leader needs his team in order to succeed and overcome whatever challenges the team faces, if the leader is unable to communicate effectively the intent to his subordinates, then there might be avoidable complications within the team further down the line.

SUMMARY DRAFT 2 + THESIS (APPLE VISION PRO)

Image
                                    Summary The webpage "Vision Pro" from Apple Inc. (2023) introduces a mixed-reality headset that seamlessly integrates augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It demonstrates how this technology is significant in the era of spatial computing. According to Apple Inc. (2023), the Vision Pro allows users to completely immerse themselves in a virtual reality environment or add an augmented reality layer to their surroundings. The design features a single piece of three-dimensionally moulded laminated glass integrated into an aluminium alloy frame that curves around the user's face, with a light seal to block out stray light. It also has a Solo Knit Band that can be adjusted with the Fit Dial on the Vision Pro to personalise the fit according to your head size. In terms of technology, the Vision Pro has dual 4K micro-OLED displays, high dynamic range (HDR) for...
