Research project and Tech Report Contributions(TDU)

 1. Brainstorm ideas about what research project to do. Contributed the idea of doing the VTEC engine as one of the candidates of topic to be done, before settling on the current research project which is Automatic Trash Can

2. Looked up and research what is an automatic trash can, specifically what is the reason that it makes the trash can "automatic".

3. Find out more about the typical maintenance procedure of the automatic trash can, which for now is currently more or less similar to the process of normal trash can. 

4. Edited and re-wrote the executive summary based on the the original points to make it sound and flow much better, as the original was a draft where lump in what we "thought" was supposed to be the executive summary. 

5. Research and came up with things that can be added into the Automatic Trash Can like the UV(Ultraviolet) light which is mainly used to disinfect and kill germs. 

6. Contributed to the design and making of the PowerPoint slides. 

7. Assisted in the editing of the groups report to cut down unnecessary word and to ensure the report flows smoothly. 

8. Wrote up the functions of the various features we are including, such as the Infrared Sensor, Auto-bagging system and the UV light system portion of the report. Collaborated with my group mate Weili as he is in charge of doing the benefits and so forth portion, so we collaborated to ensure the points we wrote makes sense with each other.

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,
