Critical Response

"I mprove my confidence in speaking" and  "sharpen my critical thinking" were my initial goals for this UCS module.  Over the 13 weeks of UCS, I have built up my report writing and presentation skills.  There are 2 key events that happened that I would like to write about.  The first event was the pitch between the groups about the project we are working on. On that day, I remember talking about the pitch while referring heavily to my phone. It felt really unprofessional of me, given that I am the group leader of the team and should have full command of what my team was working on. As questions were asked by other teams, I answered the questions with minimal information. The presentation went quite badly for me.  After the group pitches, I decided to take more time to look up nanobubbles technology and to better understand the project that I am working on (as I had minimal understanding of the topic). After spending more time understanding the technology, togeth...

 The article "Meta Quest 3: The VR headset most people should buy in 2024", written by Wan (2024) introduces the features and functions of the Meta Quest 3. According to Wan (2024a), the Meta Quest 3 is a headset with both virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) capabilities and it comes with two Touch Plus controllers. The Meta Quest 3 features two pancake LCD displays with a high refresh rate of 120Hz. The pancake lens also increases the field-of-vision (FOV), allowing for greater graphics of images and texts. Due to the new lenses with slimmed down components, the headset fits comfortably on the user's head as compared to the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro (Wan, 2024a). The new sensors on the headset allows the controllers to be shrunk down, making the user experience more comfortable. The Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip drives the performance and graphics behind the headset, with faster graphics rendering compared to its predecessors (Wan, 2024a).  The Meta Qu...

Project Contributions

I ensure that the team has completed the minutes and done up the problem statements + purpose statements.  I looked up PUB's water treatment processes to compare the process with nanobubbles technology. (Done together with Ernest)  I looked up Singapore's water supply (percentages) on google. I looked up Sembcorp's role in water treatment (integrated urban solutions).  I looked up Sembcorp's technology used for water treatment (water reclamation).  I looked up Newater's water treatment processes. Visited Mazak with the team to further understand the process of the nanobubble generator and how does it work (site-visit).  Tech Report Draft 1 & 2  I used ChatGPT to look up pressure regulators.  I used ChatGPT to look up examples of skimmers ("Recommend skimmers for the Aquapro Nanobubble Generator to skim impurities from the top surface").  I used ChatGPT to look up components of a skimmer ("Components of a mechanical skimmer").  I used Goog...
