Task 3

 “Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every  graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for  obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.”  Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,  

-Professors of Communication (2000)

Without proficient communication skills, there can be miscommunications as well as misunderstandings not only among colleagues but also with one's superior. With big projects where many professionals from different fields of study work together, a lapse in communication may cause unforeseen mishaps that could be disastrous if commercially distributed.

I am currently a year one student from the Robotics Systems Engineering programme in Singapore Institute of Technology. I previously graduated with a Diploma in Mechatronics and Robotics from Singapore Polytechnic.  Even though I had decided to specialize in the field of robotics before entering polytechnic, it was not something I particularly had an interest in.

However, that all changed as I started my final year project.  For my final year project in polytechnic, I was tasked to create an autonomous vehicle, the purpose of which was to transport people from one place to another within the airport's premises while concurrently avoiding other people and obstacles.

Critical Reflection

Module learning: At the start of the module, I sought to achieve clarity and to maintain my composure while presenting. Even though slip ups may still occur and I may still lose my train of thought, I am a lot more confident when such a slip up does occur and I am able to maintain my composure. By observing my peers' actions when recovering from a blunder, the feedback given by peers and with Professor Brad pointing out the do's and dont's if one were to stumble, I have managed to adopt a few things to aid me if I do stumble. When I do stumble, I should be keeping my cool and not say something immediately to try and recover. I have found this to be very effective at curbing my tendency to speak incoherently.  Also, by speaking slowly and clearly, it is very unlikely to lose my train of thought as I am able to process information better and it will allow me to plan out the flow of my presentation.  Although I have not perfected the skill of  recovering from a blunder, by app
