Dear Professor Brad,
My name is Brandon Koh, and I hope this introduction letter will give you a glimpse of my life’s journey so far. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2013 with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. I signed on as an air force engineer in the Republic of Singapore Air Force in 2013 and left the force in 2019 in order to commence my degree in mechanical engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology.
My interest in mechanical engineering started at a young age where I loved building Lego structures that could emulate human movement. My time in the air force dismantling and assembling helicopters daily deepened my interest further. Although work was grueling at times being able to tinker with complex mechanical parts was a dream come true.
I believe that one of my strengths regarding communication is that I am a confident speaker. While I was in the air force, clear communication was required to describe problems or defects to high ranking superiors which helped developed my confidence when speaking. My most significant communication weakness is that I reiterate myself often. I feel that I tend to reiterate often because I am afraid the important points of my message were not emphasized enough. Many of my peers have repeatedly informed me about this weakness and I really hope to fix this bad habit during this module.
Throughout my life, communications have always been a key component to success in many situations and being able to effectively communicate will always be a skill that is continuously evolving as there will always be room for improvement. My goals for this module are to rectify my weakness of reiterating often, further improve and refine my speaking skills and also to improve my vocabulary and grammar. I look forward to your guidance during the upcoming sessions.
Best Regards,
Brandon Koh
