250 words Reflection

       I have greatly benefitted from the Technical Communication module, as it has enables me to improve on my communication skills and writing techniques. Through the various assignments, we are given, it helps us apply the useful knowledge I acquired in the Technical Communication lesson into better use. However, the overall module duration is a little short. We are given 20 hours, which I feel could be extended further. To give us additional time to achieve more learning objectives.

       The challenging segment in the module which I have encountered would be the in-class presentation, as I tend to be nervous during the midpoint of the presentation. Especially in a situation when I left out some important points. In a good presentation, we cannot afford to show any sign of nervous. Hence, it is important to maintain a proper stance and eye contact with the audiences.

       Overall, I have enjoyed doing presentation, which provides me with the platform to boost up with confidence level in a speech presentation. I would get great sense of satisfaction when the audiences are focusing on my presentation. This give me the assurance that my presentation is clearly articulated and comprehensible.

       To further improve on my communication skills, I intend to read up more relevant self-help books, which can help me make an effective communication. I am a firm believer, that practice makes perfect. As such, I am willing to put in more time and efforts in sharpening my presentation skills. I truly hope the key insights and concepts I learnt in this module would benefit me in every aspect of my life.

      

Product Description Summary & Analysis (Draft 3):

   The section “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ Requirements” from the article “The Evolution of Telematics” (Flecter & Suizo, 2011), it introduces the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”. The main function of GPS Insight is to retrieve and relay back data collected to the user for analysis, all while happening in real time. The product description also stated that the features of GPS Insight are “configurable and customizable” according to the user’s requirements and preferences. To be able to meet user’s ever-changing demands and requests, GPS Insight introduces new features based on user’s response and feedback. Due to GPS Insight’s customizability, it is able to perform at different degrees of comprehensiveness, making it a versatile product.

   “GPS insight” has been going through rapid developments, with new features and enhanced specifications to attract more users. Of all the features, Quick theft recovery provides fast alert to user when their assets or vehicles are stolen. The added feature gives user greater security and peace of mind. With real-time fleet visibility, users can locate the historical data of their fleet efficiently via mobile or any desktop. From the article “Cell Phone Tracking vs GPS Vehicle Tracking” (2016), some obvious drawbacks of the Cell Phone tracking are it can only monitor a short range of location, inconsistencies in relaying alert and report to user. The user may have a tendency of “losing the phone”,” weak signal strength” and phone batteries “die”. Or once the phone is turn off, it is impossible to track fleet user. For GPS Vehicle Tracking, fleet user can monitor vehicle location, current status or problem they want to alert about.

   On one hand, these features help to reduce fuel, labour and maintenance costs. On the other hand, the features also increase the productivity of employees. Given the rising pressure on fleet companies in the efforts to reduce carbon foot-prints, eco-friendly products are developed via green technology. The growing acceptance by the customers has led to a progressive growth in the markets.

   Fleet providing companies utilize unique features which mainly target fleet-specific needs to slash down costs and boost productivity. Auto-mobile industries are introducing a new line-up of in-vehicle for individual seeking conveniences. Even telecommunication companies are using device equipped with features such as emergency services and navigation.

   From the article “Our Story” (Donat, 2004), he has helped the trucking companies with GPS tracking software with customizable features, without additional costs. GPS insights was also in collaboration with business and government agencies with fleets of vehicles. They have shared the common mission of increasing revenues for mobile assets, as well as to reduced costs and risks.

   All these characteristics demonstrates that GPS insight has been offering a wide ranges of product solutions, which constantly meet the growing demand by the customers.  It will benefit fleet drivers, as they can get their vehicle enhanced with safety features. At an affordable cost, users can enjoy a greater road safety down the road. In a large extent, this has benefited the company and its consumer.

Good day Brad,

   I am Peng Wee a student of SIT (Singapore Institute of Technology), currently I am doing my Bachelor degree with Honours in Telematics. The objective of this email is to share with you more in depth about some the goals and future plans I want to achieve.

   Before I begin, I would like to briefly touch on my educational background. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in year 2014, and was conferred a diploma in Electronic, Computer & Communications Engineering. Prior to that, I had graduated in Jurongville Secondary School in year 2010.

   I have an interest in reading books during my leisure time, I prefer mostly non-fiction genres. For example, memoirs and a wide variety of books wrote by successful people. Personally, I enjoyed reading book based on an author’s real life experience, which are written with great emotions and inspirational.

   Goal setting is an important part of our life, which provide us a road map to our future. The goal I set for myself is to perform well in my academic studies, and to secure a stable job in the government sector such as LTA (Land Transport Authority) or ST Electronics. I hope I can put the skills and knowledge acquired in the programme into practice.

   Lastly, I have aimed to be an elite professional in my future employment. In order to achieve it, I need to gain more industrial skills by working with well-known engineering firm, and take opportunities to learn from the company seniors.  

   With this I will conclude the brief introduction about myself.

  Thank you!
