According to Schiller (2017), "Boy Genius Boyan Slat's giant ocean clean up machine is real". Schiller stated that Slat had set out a massive clean-up project using his vision of the ocean clean-up machine. The article quoted that oceanographer Charles Moore discovered that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch had waste so thick that it forms solid areas one could walk on which was the reason for Slat's initiation.  Schiller reported that Slat received criticisms and sceptics about the project when he proposed his initial design of a clean-up machine measuring 60 miles long to repair the seabed.  Schiller then stated that after Slat made numerous vetting, his new idea was to split his initial design into 50 smaller devices of 0.6 miles each which is a better innovation as it allows the remaining machines to still work if any were to malfunction.  Schiller pointed out that although building an individual device is cost-saving and more efficient than a huge clean-up machine,...

According to Schiller (2017),  the ocean clean-up machine is being made into reality. The article stated that a man named Boyan Slat had set out a massive clean-up project using his vision of the ocean clean-up machine. The article quoted that oceanographer Charles Moore discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch had waste so thick that it forms solid areas one could walk on. This allows people to infer how bad the ocean pollution is. The article reported that Slat had received criticism and sceptics about the project when he initially designed for a clean-up machine measuring 60 miles long to repair the seabed.  The article then stated that after numerous vetting, his new idea was to split his initial design into 50 smaller devices of 0.6 miles each which is a better initiation as it allows the remaining machines to still work if one were to malfunction.  The article pointed out that although building an individual device is more cost-saving and efficient than a huge cle...

Having good communication is of utmost priority to me being a good leader. Poor communication between others and myself may lead to them having different interpretations of the information I wish to convey. This will cause them to have doubts and may end up speculating the meaning of my information which in turn may have an undesirable result. Good communication is having two-way communications to understand others, know their level of morale and difficulties they are facing. As a leader, I wish to not only lead but listen as well so people can trust and follow me at all times.  Critical thinking skills can allow people to think rationally, identify important points and make proper decision on situations. When problem occurs, it is important to think and question assumptions while managing ambiguity. By thinking ahead and postulate several outcome to the situation and adopting the best possible solution is a form of critical thinking.  This is an important skill for me. By ado...

The number of debris built up in the ocean over the years had become so solid that even humans can walk on it. A man named Boyan Slat had set out a massive clean-up project using his vision of the Ocean clean up machine. He had received criticism and sceptics about the project. His initial design was to repair the seabed using one huge clean up machine measuring 60 miles long. After numerous vetting, the new idea was to split this device into 50 smaller devices of 0.6 miles each to repair the deep layer. It’s better as it allows the remaining machines to still work if one were to malfunction. Not only is this more efficient, building individual device is more cost-saving than a huge clean-up machine. The individual devices require removal via “garbage truck of the oceans” monthly. Boyan Slat future goal is to collect the trashes and to recycle plastics into useful materials.

Dear Professor Blackstone, Subject: Formal Introduction Letter My name is Rynus Lee Ernald and I am currently pursuing a degree in civil engineering in Singapore Institute of Technology. Being one of those who was given the opportunity to be in your effective communication class, I am writing this letter hoping that you will be able to know more about me.  I graduated with a diploma in civil engineering with business from Singapore Polytechnic in 2019. When I was young, I used to play with lego often. I realized that as the lego tower height increases, the stability decreases. This caused me to develop a fear of heights and not having the courage to go to high floors. However, this fear of heights became interest for constructions of buildings when I was 14. During my 14th birthday, I had a family trip to Paris's famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower. Being at the top of the tower made me realized that even at the highest, the tower is as stable as the ground floor. This made me wonder...
