Paraphrasing from the quote by Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp

Original Quote

"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




Paraphrased according to Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp


“As a leader, it is important to constantly grow in the aspect of communication skills. They are required to have the knowledge and ideas to invoke a sense of urgency and motivation to others. If a leader is unable to convey the message that they are trying to bring across and enable others to act on it, there will be no use to the message.”

Letter of Introduction

Subject: Self Introduction Dear Professor Brad, My name is Jonathan, a first-year student studying robotics systems at SIT. Previously, I was studying electronics at Temasek Polytechnic. My interest in robotics stemmed from my module studying robotics and automation, where I learned about the application of robotics in the industry and its vast possibilities. After the module, I utilized the knowledge to program a robot to solve a Rubik's cube for my final year project. My communication strength is being clear and concise. For example, during my time in National Service, I was an operations specialist at Changi Air Base. Part of my job is collecting and passing on information to various agencies and coordinating them during day-to-day operations or aircraft and base emergencies. Because of the nature of my duties, the information passed must be clear and concise, as the information was time critical and needed to be accurate to ensure all parties involved could perform their jobs e

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
