Summary Draft 2

According to a blog post titled, “Smart Road Technology: Digital Highways of The Future” (2020), roads are usually neglected in discussions about the digital transformation of transportation. Safety, efficiency and sustainability can be improved by upgrading roads with Smart Road Technology (SRT). SRT enhances visibility, generates energy and allows communication between vehicles, improving driver’s experience on roads. The blog post also describes innovations such as Solar Powered Roadways, Weather and Traffic Detection help to boost safety and road efficiency. Glow in the Dark Roads and Interactive Lights will aid in visibility while supporting sustainability. Smart Roads and Electric Priority Lanes allow electric vehicle charging on the road and vehicle communication. The blog post includes that governments and transport authorities understand the importance of adopting SRT. While the development of these innovations at scale can be expensive, leaders can initiate smaller scale projects before spearheading large-scale efforts. Having SRT drives the future of transportation and provides governments with the power over road traffic.

Formal Letter (Descriptive Reflection)

Dear Professor Brad, My name is Kriston Yeo Hiong Tee from your effective communication class. My purpose of writing this letter is for you to know a little more about myself. It has been almost 2 years since I have graduated from my polytechnic as I had to serve my national service. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in green building and sustainability in 2019. The reason why I chose sustainable infrastructure engineering (Building Services) in SIT was because of the passion I had for engineering during my time in my polytechnic course. I have always had the interest in engineering and knew that I wanted to become an engineer as my career. When I was younger, I was always fascinated by how things worked in this world and soon, I realized that everything in this world is produced by successful engineering solutions. A communication strength that I possess would be the ability to speak with volume and clarity. During my time in national service, I took on leadershi

Task 5.2 "Critical Thinking: The Soul of Communication"

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing and evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief an action. Critical Thinking is the driver of effective communication. I feel that there are great benefits and positive impacts that communication and critical thinking can have on a leadership role at a workplace. By being a critical thinker, we are able to have better communication between our colleagues at work, especially when needing to lead a team. Critical thinking enables us to understand the impact of our every decision made and ensures that the decisions we make are logical and aligns with the organizational goals and accountability for results. Therefore, being able to think critically before every decision we make is crucial in impacting the workplace as a leader.

Critical Reflection

Time flies, it has been 13 weeks in this effective communication module. I could still remember the first day of class when we were introducing ourselves to our classmates and ‘breaking the ice’. I came into class without any expectations of myself and did not know what to expect of this module either. After the first week, we had to write an introduction letter of ourselves to our professor. In that introduction letter, I had listed some goals that I wanted to achieve by the end of the module. I hoped to be able to improve my public speaking skills and be able to present myself confidently in front of people. I also wanted to improve my written communication skills and be able to write a good report that is able to deliver the contents clearly and concisely. I am happy to say that I achieved both my goals. During the final presentation for our project, I felt that I managed to deliver my presentation confidently and professionally. I was able to achieve this goal because I invested ti
