Summary/Reader Response Draft 4

  The webpage “Lifesaving drones designed with CAD software” (Siemens, 2019), introduces the use of Siemens NX CAD software to design lifesaving drones. Among its many features, the NX CAD software is designed to optimize the design, testing, and manufacturing processes. In terms of design optimization, the software allows its users to use virtual product models rather than the more costly physical prototypes to test the effectiveness of a design. This leads to shortened design time, which lowers the development cost and improves product quality (Siemens, 2019). According to Siemens (n.d), the Syncrofit feature of the NX CAD software “allows users to make well-informed design decisions for an overall smoother path to design realization”. The article mentions that the NX CAD software's simulation function in designing lifesaving drones can perform virtual test flights while simulating the characteristics or properties of the different components. The article also states that the sof...

Critical Reflection

Module Reflection At the start of this module, I set myself two learning goals, performing public speaking confidently and learning more effective communication skills in order to express my opinions with sound reasoning and be able to get my point across to others. Regarding the first point on speaking confidently, before this course, I was nervous when presenting in front of people, while practising my presentation beforehand did help me to present better I was still not completely confident while presenting. The problem I had that led to my lack of confidence while presenting was the lack of knowledge on some of the topics I was presented with previously. So based on this issue, I believe that if I studied more deeply about the topics I was speaking on, I would be able to speak more confidently. I believe that I have met this goal, for example during the oral presentation I was able to project my voice clearly and presented my points confidently. I believe that I was able to speak c...

Among its many features, The NX CAD software is designed to optimize the design, testing, and manufacturing processes. In terms of design optimization, the software allows its users to generate variations of the original design rather than creating more costly, physical prototypes to test the effectiveness of its design. This leads to shortened design time, which lowers the development cost and improves product quality (SIEMENS, 2019). According to the article, the Syncrofit feature of the NX CAD software “allows users to make well-informed design decisions for an overall smoother path to design realization” (SIEMENS, n.d).
