ASSIGNMENT #2: (DESIGN) SUMMARY & READER RESPONSE (ANALYSIS), PART 1 (1ST DRAFT)

Summary: The article “Drones Take Their Place on the Cutting Edge of Wildfire Fighting” (2021) states that “Summer wildfire seasons in North America are getting longer and more devastating.” Drones have long been used to fight wildfires. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) were first used by the US Department of Interior a decade ago to help map fires and determine their course. Recently, drones have been developed to locate a fire's hot spots and set controlled flames to minimise possible wildfire fuel. The KHawk drone is designed to fly autonomously with ground control while transmitting weather and fire data, including forecasts of where the flames will spread next. Ideally, firemen would receive an early alert if they were in danger. Firefighters are using drones to employ an intentional ignition approach to burn vegetation that might generate fuel for wildfires. Commercial drone platforms outfitted with payload system IGNIS carry a basket filled with ignition spheres. These sphere...

Self-Introduction Formal Letter(Edited)

Dear Professor Brad, I am SeongUng from Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Mechanical Engineering year 1. I am writing this letter to introduce myself and we can have the opportunity to get to know more about each other. When I was deciding on the diploma course to pursue in polytechnic, my dad recommended me to join aerospace engineering and said that it is suitable for me and that I would be able to do well since I liked mathematics and science. Fortunately, I graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a diploma in Aerospace Engineering, with good results, and decided to pursue further education in University to boost my aerospace knowledge. I joined SIT mechanical engineering course because my applications for all aerospace courses, which I am interested in, were rejected. But I hope to learn a wider range of engineering and about various engineering industries in this course. My hobby is something unique about me compared to others. I play baseball in Singapore with other like-m...

Unit 1 - Task 3 Paraphrasing

  According to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp, necessary qualities of a leader is to have efficient and concise communication skill.

They should also be able to convey positive energy to get the team to be active and be more initiative. Failure to do so means the role of leader practically becomes a position for namesake.
