Summary Draft #1

Singapore has declared that it plans to retire internal combustion engines by 2040, paving the way for electric vehicles. It also plans to install 28,000 charging points in collaboration with major energy companies. However, experts have warned that a supply shock of electric vehicles may threaten the goal. Additionally, Singapore's goal may seem far-fetched in comparison to the current leading country in adoption of electric vehicles - Norway. Singapore aims to have roughly 10 times more charging point density, and have not implemented incentives for drivers to buy electric vehicles unlike Norway. 


As Singapore looks towards the use of EVs, dealing with traffic congestion issues, adapting to new technology, implementing practices to safeguard the future, can effectively reduce carbon footprint. Motivating public transport use would ensure lesser cars are driven on roads. Converting commercial transport aggressively to EVs, cutting down on petrol vehicles, would reduce environmental issues. With these changes, we must refine the competency of workers to safeguard the consistency of the EVs for the future.

Assignment #1, Formal Letter

 Dear Professor Brad Blackstone, My name is Gerryl Pay and I am attending your effective communication course. I've previously attended Dunman High School, pursued an International Baccalaureate at Hwa Chong International School, and am enrolled in the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), pursuing an engineering degree in civil. On top of academic pursue, I have sought internships at top local construction firms. I come from a long family history of civil engineers and grew up exposed to the many elements of the matter. Driving past various monuments, my dad would always gleam with pride and point out how they were "built by us". Whether it is a hotel that serves thousands of tourists weekly, a highway that connects millions of commuters daily, or piping works underground that facilitate households, I am proud of what they have achieved. This inspires me to carry on the legacy of our family, knowing what we do connects society in numerous ways they might not even

Paraphrase Quotation

“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 According to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp, the development of exceptional communication skills is critical in being an effective leader. One must be able to impart knowledge and ideas succinctly whilst inspiring others to take action immediately. Without this, a message is empty and holds no meaning.

Tech Report Draft #1

Utilization of Living Materials as Concrete Alternatives in Singapore to Combat Rising Carbon Emissions. Introduction: In alignment with Singapore's Green Building Masterplan, the team aims to place greater emphasis on reducing concrete use in the design and construction of buildings. On top of this, BCA's Green Mark scheme recognises projects that go beyond the regulatory requirements, for example, by using alternatives to concrete such as Mass Engineered Timber. The team aims to implement/introduce mycelium bricks into Singapore’s market, as it has never been used in any infrastructure. Background: Currently, Singapore consumed an average of 11.5 million m3 of concrete per year over the last five years (MND, 2021) and concrete consumption is projected to remain within the range of 10.5 million to 12.2 million m3 per year until 2025. The aim of this proposal is to introduce new cement material such as mycelium bricks. A mycelium brick is an organic brick that is formed from
