Dear Professor Blackstone
My name is Muhammad Syahmi and I am writing to provide you with a greater understanding of myself. I am currently a first-year undergraduate of Civil Engineering (CVE) at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).
I was a student of Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), pursuing a diploma in nanotechnology and materials science, specialising in materials for sustainable technology. During the course of my diploma, I had the opportunity to be an intern at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research Singapore, working on materials research. I was always passionate about research, but it was not the right career choice. Instead, I decided to join a career in which I could contribute directly to the industry.
When I was deciding on this new career path, it daunted on me that I had studied several applications of materials in the area of the built environment and infrastructures. With my knowledge of materials, I was determined to use this knowledge to enrich the built environment industry one day.
What I excel in is my ability to be outspoken. I have no issues in taking the initiative and being the first to speak up. For instance, I would be the first to ask a question, with the mindset that others may have the same question.
On the other hand, an area at which I could improve on is my ability to listen. Communication is a two-way street, and listening to others does not come as simple to me as speaking publicly. Due to my proactive personality, I tend to prefer having my ideas heard.
Through this module, I hope to learn how to bring my point across more efficiently regardless if it is by written or spoken communication, and to improve on my ability to listen when it comes to group projects.
Best regards
Muhammad Syahmi
