Initial Research Pathway


    Me and Yi Han have the same idea for this topic due to our passion and interest in motorcycles. I used to ride a CB400 Super Four Revo while Yi Han currently owns and ride one. 

   Yi Han and Zaki both did a general google search on this bike. The articles we found are mostly from website articles, youtube videos. We did not just limit our search to the CB400 VTEC system, we searched up on how VTEC generally works to get a better idea of just the system itself, before we branch onto the motorcycle side. Zaki did a general search on google, and he found 3 articles explaining how VTEC as a system works, along with 1 video explaining how VTEC works. Yi Han obtained 3 articles and 1 video explaining how the CB400 VTEC works. 

    Using Chat.gpt, the team obtained a summary of how VTEC differs between motorcycle and cars. We also obtained a summary of how the VTEC system on its own, operates.

Descriptive Reflection (Formal Introductory Letter)

 Subject: Descriptive Reflection Dear Prof. Blackstone,     My Name is Muhammad Zaki, but people normally just address me as Zaki. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student attending your Critical Thinking and Communication Class. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic(SP) with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. My interest in Engineering begins ever since I started riding a Motorcycle, which slowly develops into an interest of tinkering/repairing/fixing of the motorcycle, which includes general knowledge of how a motorcycle engine works.       My strength which I am proud of   is that I take an active role in listening. What this means is that I tend to listen and allow others to speak first or provide their POV before providing my input. This is so that whatever I am about to say, I have already taken into account their argument/point and I can craft my sentence around that. This helps to bring the discussion forward and provide meaningful insights for the party involved, instead of

Zaki's Critical Reflection

           I've always though that a communication modules are a waste of time. It stems from the mindset that "I'm an Engineer, why do i need to do presentation". Personally, i do admit that my grammar does require polishing, and that presenting has always been a weak suite of mine. Going through this 13 weeks, when i heard that we have to present formally in front of the class, truth be told, i was nervous. However, as the saying goes "Life has to go on, don't give up", i can't dwell on the fear of presentation, and to just get it done.           By going through 13 weeks of this critical thinking and communication module, there have been many valuable things and experience that i have learnt and picked up. First up, my fear of presentation. Doing group presentation is not as bad as i thought it would be. Although it was nerve-wrecking, i came to the realization that my heightened senses is a result of the fear within me magnifying things. However,
