Summary Draft 1

 The webpage “Lifesaving drones designed with CAD software” (SIEMENS, 2019), introduces the use of Siemens NX CAD software to design Life-saving 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 more virtual product models rather than 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). The Syncrofit feature of the NX CAD software allows users to (make well-informed design decisions for an overall smoother path to design realization. It automates tedious design tasks and bill of materials (BOM) updates to speed up the procurement process. The simulation function of the NX CAD software in the case of designing Life-saving drones can perform virtual test flights while simulating the characteristics or properties of the different components. Additionally, the software can quickly perform thickness and stress assessments of the design and determine which parts should be made of higher or lower grade materials which will reduce the overall weight of the drone. With these key features, the NX CAD software stands out among its competition in terms of capabilities and design optimization.

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...

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).
