Research pathway

Shaun and I have decided to research the indoor farming system because we felt it was relevant to Singapore. To kickstart our research, we relied on ChatGPT to provide us with an overview of different technologies and mechanisms used in indoor farming systems. 


With the help of ChatGPT, we decided to narrow down to an automated nutrient delivery system. Using google and YouTube, we managed to gain more insights on the features of this automated nutrient delivery system. We then googled some indoor farms in Singapore using this technology and also companies that produce this delivery system. From this process, we also found out that the Singapore food agency (SFA) has a ‘30 by 30’ goal. The goal is to build up Singapore’s indoor farming systems such that it is capable of producing 30 percent of Singapore’s nutritional needs sustainably by 2030. From the articles, we have also identified the benefits and limitations of the system.

Introductory Letter to Brad Blackstone

I am writing this letter to formally introduce myself and also to share some reflections about me. Since young, I have always liked to do activities that are hands-on such as building Lego blocks and servicing my own bicycle. This has led to me taking on studies related to engineering. During my polytechnic years, I took Engineering with Business as my diploma so that I could widen my horizon in the field of engineering while also exploring the options I had in the field of business. After graduating, I felt that I was more interested in the field of engineering, so I decided to pursue further by choosing Mechanical Engineering for my degree. As for my communication skills, I feel that I am strong and an active listener. I feel that I am able to empathise with the speaker about what he or she is relaying to me and I also find it interesting

Interpretation of Quotation

" While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers face additional challenges, making effect communication an imperative." Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016) Why is it important for global engineers to have good communication skills is because they are constantly travelling to foreign countries. This means that they are most likely going to work with engineers coming from different parts of the world. So challenges such as having language barriers, difference in work culture and practices are inevitable. So effective communication is extremely important for global engineers.
