Critical Reflection

-
The initial goals I set for myself was to improve my writing skills and to be able to speak more confidently by the end of this module. I am proud to say that I managed to exceed my expectations with the help of Prof.Brad and school peers. After knowing what is required for this module while looking through the module I was enrolled in before the tri start, I knew I had to step out of my comfort zone and try to take the initiative to speak in proper English instead of singlish. Thankfully, Professor Brad has been guiding us throughout. Throughout the course of this module, we were tasked to do in-class activity with different peers like paraphrasing an article and giving feedback to different peers. This is when my peers started to correct my sentence structure and grammar, I am glad that Prof. Brad would come to aid us whenever he saw mistakes.  In the group project assignment, I did a lot of research which could help towards my group project, thus I felt that as I read pr

Gewert, B., Ogonowski, M., Barth, A., & MacLeod, M. (2017, May 18). Abundance and composition of near surface microplastics and plastic debris in the Stockholm Archipelago, Baltic Sea. Retrieved from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025326X17303739 This article focuses on how the manta trawl, an ocean cleaning device, helps in ocean cleansing through filtering debris present through a fine-mesh net.It is being towed by a boat in the ocean to capture floating plastic on the water's surface. The rectangular opening of the manta trawl is measured at 61 by 16 cm and connected to a 4 m long net with a standard mesh size of 335 μm and 30 by 10 cm2 collecting bag. With the manta trawl towed behind the vessel, 21 plastic debris samples were collected. This gave the two outdoor explorers who wanted to create consciousness regarding plastic waste in the Baltic Sea four additional plastic samples. This allowed them to utilize modified trawls that were pulled behin

Enhancement of the Mobility of the Seabin Project by Integrating a Sea Drone Executive Summary  This report is written in response to a letter of authorization dated xxxxxx, and aims to convince the Seabin Project Team that the proposed adaptations are of utmost importance in enhancing the mobility features and adopting a hydroelectric generator for the AI_Whirlpool. The Seabin has been able to provide practical and tangible solutions to reduce plastics in our ports and marinas, which is one of the world-level problems. However, The Seabin functions as a stationary machine that does not have a self-sufficient power supply as it draws its power from a 6m cable. This report discusses Seabin V5, which acts as a floating garbage bin that skims the surface of the water to collect floating, debris, macro and micro plastics and even micro fibres with an additional filter. This report also captures the possible areas of improvements based on the combinations of different concepts as wel

Assignment 2: Design Summary & Analysis

-
From the article, “Where’s My Supersuit '', Zelik (2019), it is stated that human exoskeletons are under development for injury prevention, public use, and numerous other application suggestions. These human exoskeletons are known to be expensive, bulky, and uncomfortable, but despite this, most people actually reap benefits from this creation. Initially developed to reduce job burnout 5 years ago, these motorised exo-suits were further developed to provide targeted assistance to the legs, arms and hands as a guide to proper lifting techniques and resistance training. On top of the basic functions of the exoskeleton, the creation is accompanied by the development of a spring-powered exo-suit that aids in the walking and running of ankle muscles. The human exoskeleton is also a useful product when it comes to preventing injuries as well as to provide support and enhancement to patients with spinal cord injuries. One useful function of the exoskeleton is to help workers preven

Spring-powered exo-suits are also developed to assist ankle muscles for walking and running. Other developments would include neck-support for surgeons and nurses for surgical procedures. A clothing-like exoskeleton is developed for patients with lower back pain. The mechanized clothing will prevent pain. When the suit is switched off, the user will be able to move freely. Otherwise, the elastic bands will support the backload.  Although
