Introduction of Aaron Teo En Chi (1701111)

Dear Ms Lim,

Introduction
I would like to take an opportunity to introduce myself. I am Aaron Teo En Chi from SIE2016-SEM03 , currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land). Previously I graduated from Republic Polytechnic in Industrial Operations Management. I had the privilege to serve the nation doing what I enjoyed most, ‘inspiring soldier who trained alongside with me’ by imparting my knowledge gained from my command school and at the same time instilled certain values in them.

Background on Internship
During my Diploma in Republic Polytechnic, I had the privilege to intern at a well-known microchip company, Infineon Technology. I was posted to a packaging department which specializes in manufacturing packaging that can withstand most harsh conditions. My role was to conduct such conditions tests using assigned equipment and present my findings to my superiors within few months.

Strengths & Weaknesses
After my presentations, I was given feedbacks on my strengths and weaknesses for the presentation. I was affirmed that I had the ability to gather all attention on me while I was speaking because I spoke with a loud voice. On the other hand, I could improve and expand in my vocabulary to better explain certain analogy, my superiors realized that during the presentation I couldn’t explain the idea as well as what was written in the manual.

My Aim
I aim to be able to speak confidently during presentations and attain the necessary skills to captivate and engage my audiences at the end of this module. I believe that confidence comes from practices and courage to stand and speak in front of a crowd.


If you have any question or concern, you can contact me at 1701111@sit.singaporetech.edu.sg or +65 91521482.

Warmest regard,
Aaron Teo En Chi

      Thanks Kang Ming! I've tried Operation Management, which was focused more on the planning phase of a engineering industry. Understanding how to plan operations made me realized that i should expand my field of knowledge towards executing phase as well.

    Hi Aaron,

    Excellent structure of your introductory letter! It is well organised with all the appropriate headers so as to aid the reader's focus.
    One suggestion for you to improve on your vocabulary is to read, read and read!
    For me, i don't really like to read, but i tend to maintain the habit of at least reading 2 books every month. Slowly but surely, i can feel that my understanding and command of words are much clearer and apprehensive.
    I wish you all the best in attaining your aims for this module!

Analytical Reflection

Last week, we were given a chance to practice and hone our presentation skills through the class mock presentation. It was a good opportunity as I get to practice without looking at my script and share with the audience based on my experiences and research I acquire while doing this proposal. My team was the last to present and time was catching up on us. The pressure was real as the next class is starting soon and we need to present fast. Despite feeling the pressure, I kept myself calm and constantly reminded myself to square myself and maintain eye contact with my audience. However, from the feedbacks given to me, I realized that y presentation wasn’t audience centred. During the presentation, I tried to connect to my classmates through humour and giving them examples they could relate too. However, in a formal presentation setting, I should refrain from treating them as my classmates but my client instead as it was a tad informal. I got too enthusiastic to present to my au...

Final Reader Response

Reader’s Response on “Dubbed 'the best in class” In the article “Dubbed 'the best in class': 6 things about Hong Kong's MTR rail system “, reported by Lee (2015) stated that he believed one of the world’s most profitable system is Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC). Lee (2015) complemented that Hong Kong passengers rarely experience train delay even during peak hours. It was cited by Lee (2015) that MTRC did not experienced any delays for 99.9% of the time as compared to Singapore which stands at 96%. The high train frequency has helped to manage the crowd and provide a smoother transport experience. MTRC invested heavily on maintenance, renewal and ways to keep the system operating efficiently together by spending over HK$6 billion, around 37 percent of MTRC’s revenue in 2014. In addition, MTRC ensured that their system is well-monitored by the Super Operations Control Centre (OCC) which produce fast problem identification and problem solving to pre...
