Critical Response

Dear Professor Blackstone, Below is my critical reflection which includes my module and project learning experiences. Module Learning When I had just started the module, I had assumed that the content and method of teaching would be similar to what I had learnt during my polytechnic study. This was because the aim of the previous module and UCS had more or less the same goal, which was to improve communication and writing skills. However, during my time in UCS for the last 13 weeks, I have gained valuable knowledge different from what I had expected and experienced in polytechnic. I have learnt how to write my reports in a more concise and organised manner by making sure my thesis and content were aligned with each other. I learnt how to better search for my content as well, using Google scholar or SIT’s OneSearch function for more academic articles. With regards to communication skills, I have also learnt how to deliver my content in a more confident and effective manner by being awar...

Reader Response Draft 4 (Assignment 1b)

Tesla’s web page on “Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability” (2023-a) introduces the unique function and features of their Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full-Self Driving Capability (FSD). One important function of Tesla’s autopilot is the advanced driver assistance system that boosts the safety and convenience of its occupants (Tesla, 2023-a). Moreover, when autopilot is utilised correctly, it can help reduce the overall burden on the driver (Tesla, 2023-a). Presently, Tesla cars constructed for the North American market utilise eight external cameras mounted on the car instead of radar systems (Tesla, 2023-a). The cameras altogether provide a visibility of 360 degrees and up to a range of 250 metres (Tesla, 2023-b). In terms of features, Tesla’s autopilot includes capabilities such as “Traffic-Aware Cruise Control”, “Smart Summon” and “Traffic and Stop Sign Control” for FSD. Furthermore, Tesla’s Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and FSD are rated level 2 by the Society of Automot...

Student Participation Self-Evaluation

 Dear Professor Blackstone, Thank you for educating me for the last 13 weeks. Your insights and teachings have given me a better understanding of the needs and ways to communicate to people in presentations and how to write in a more comprehensive way. For my own evaluation, I believe I warrant a level of "good" for my participation as I have made good effort to be present for every class as well as giving my utmost attention to people presenting. Additionally, I do my best in assisting my classmates during peer evaluation or when they require help in their writing. Best regards, Isaac Lee

Contributions to Technical Project

Contribution List Administrative Delegated the work to be done after meetings. Research Explored the different companies that could use our product, and their capabilities and developments in smart lift systems. I used ChatGPT to check the current smart lift systems available today and the scientific papers produced with regards to elevator operations. Researched on the viability and possibilities of the use of pressure sensors in our product. Writing Typed out the typical lift operation for the report draft. Constructed and typed out the ideal, gap and goal statements. Cleaned up organisation of report and added starting sentences for each section. Presentation Generated slides for the introduction section of the project. Presented the introduction section of the slides which included pain point elaboration to product reveal.

Reader Response Draft 1 (Assignment 1b)

Tesla’s web page on “ Autopilot” ( Tesla, 2023). describes how their cars operate autonomously along with a variety of features that complement it. Its main function is its ability to navigate the vehicle on roads by itself. Other functions include being able to steer and change lanes, enter and exit expressways and also navigate in confined and complicated environments. Tesla’s cars achieve their autopiloting capability through 2 features. The first involves the 8 cameras mounted on the car, 5 of which are facing forward and the other 3 facing rearward (Tesla, 2023). The cameras altogether provide visibility of up to a range of 250 metres as well as 360 degrees around the car (Tesla, 2023). The second feature involves the car’s heavy duty onboard computer system. All the information gathered by the cameras are fed into the computer which allows the vehicle to respond in real-time. Additionally, Tesla claims that their current computer systems can handle up to 40 times the amount of da...
