Summary of "Autonomous Vehicles" Draft #1


In this article “Singapore revs up engines for autonomous vehicles race” Noble (2019) states that a temporary national standard called “Technical Reference 68(TR 68)” plays an important role in developing autonomous vehicles (AVs), which advocates the safety of fully deplorable AVs. Noble also states that TR68 was implemented to deal with "four key areas of AV deployment including vehicles behaviour, vehicle functional safety, cybersecurity, and data formats". Noble also wrote about a statement made by Loh Ngai Seng, chairman of the Committee on Autonomous Road Transport for Singapore (CARTS) “in the early 2020s, we hope that TR 68 will guide AV industry players in the safe and effective deployment of AVs in Singapore”. As stated by Fitch Ratings, with the implementation of TR68, it will improve Singapore establishment and acceptance of AVs. In addition, it will entice overseas “autonomous technology” organization to Singapore. In order for Singapore to have a safe execution on autonomous vehicles, setting up TR 68 is required.

    Hi Chek Eu,
    Here are some comments from our group (How Wei, Venjamin, Zhi Qi)

    1. Citation is good. (Sophisticated)
    2. As AV mentioned the 4 key aspects. We feel that it is essential to include that in (Developing)
    3. It will be better if you further elaborate the safety aspects of (TR68). And the reason why TR68 is necessary. (Developing)
    4. Paraphrasing for some points are good but some parts can be improved (Competent)
    5. Usage of quotation marks for direct quotes are good. (Sophisticated)

The purpose of this email is to introduce myself so that you could know me better. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a D iploma in Biomedical Engineering in 2017 and I am currently studying Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (SIE - Land).   I gained an interest in engineering during my polytechnic days, as I love problem-solving and I am also interested in the transport system in Singapore. Therefore, I decided to pursue this degree in  the Singapore Institute of Technology(SIT). I love to sing during my free time. Singing is a type of performing arts and a type of communication. For example, by singing a birthday song, it tells the person you care ab...

Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

Hi, During the first tutorial lesson, my group was tasked to share our personal opinion on a statement. “Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.”Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) To me, communication skills are one of the most important components for all humans. Not only for education and definitely not just for engineers. Communication skills can be shown in different levels and it can be as simple as saying a "good morning" to someone. Saying "good morning" to someone shows that you're ready to welcome them or just simply wishes them to have an enjoyable morning. Therefore, engineers are also humans. They will need strong communication skills during their education period and during their working phase, basically everywhere they go they will need it. For example, a field service ...
