Contribution to Technical Report

 List of contributions for research and report.

  1. Used ChatGPT to come up with a suitable team name, with the prompt "Team name examples related to smart shopping carts". We chose CartGenius Crew because it sounded right and has a nice rhyme to it.
  2. Researched on existing smart shopping carts by googling "smart carts in 2023" and "popular smart carts". I found over 10 different smart carts but narrowed down to 2 that I felt were more useful and interesting, which are Veeve and Cust2mate. I then Summarised each cart's features and functions and how they improve shoppers shopping experience.
  3. Wrote the introduction and background paragraph of the report, focusing on whether there is a need for a smart shopping cart.
  4. Conducted primary research by interviewing my classmate, You Cong on his experience working in a warehouse.
  5. Give the group direction by giving suggestions on improvements that can be made to the Smart shopping cart.
  6. Editing the report to make it seem like it was written with one voice.

    This is a finely detailed list of your contributions to date, Shaun.

    You can update this list at any time.

Formal Introductory Letter

Formal Introductory letter Dear Prof Blackstone, The purpose of this letter is to formally introduce myself and provide some background information. My name is Shaun, and I am a first year Mechanical Engineering student. I graduated from Ngee Ann polytechnic with a diploma in mechanical engineering and a minor in business management. Having taken design and technology as an O-level subject in secondary school, I learned to identify design problems. I was thrilled to identify one and come up with a prototype to potentially solve the problem. I came up with a fine motor skill toy that would enable toddlers to safely develop their motor skills. Through this journey, I enjoyed the time spent in workshops building my prototype from scratch and I developed an interest in creating useful items and eventually a passion for mechanical engineering. One of my strengths in communication is my respect for the person speaking, regardless of who they are. I would always allow the person speaking to

Interpretation of quotation

“Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every  graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for  obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.”  Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,  Professors of Communication (2000) Communication is not only important in pitching to our bosses why we deserve the job, it is also important in maintaining successful job performance.
