Project Contributions


  1. I ensure that the team has completed the minutes and done up the problem statements + purpose statements. 
  2. I looked up PUB's water treatment processes to compare the process with nanobubbles technology. (Done together with Ernest) 
  3. I looked up Singapore's water supply (percentages) on google.
  4. I looked up Sembcorp's role in water treatment (integrated urban solutions). 
  5. I looked up Sembcorp's technology used for water treatment (water reclamation). 
  6. I looked up Newater's water treatment processes.
  7. 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 
  1. I used ChatGPT to look up pressure regulators. 
  2. I used ChatGPT to look up examples of skimmers ("Recommend skimmers for the Aquapro Nanobubble Generator to skim impurities from the top surface"). 
  3. I used ChatGPT to look up components of a skimmer ("Components of a mechanical skimmer"). 
  4. I used Google to search up mechanical skimmers. 
  5. I wrote up the background under section "Current Technology with Mechanical Skimmer". 
  6. I wrote up "Belt System" for the proposed solution. 
  1. I used Google to search up "Why use Arduino as a PLC". 
  2. I used Google to search up the costs of an Arduino chip (using the main website). 
  3. I wrote up the "Programmable Timer" section for the proposed solution.
  1. I used ChatGPT to search up "Generate a material list for a flexible balloon like material that is able to withstand continuous contraction and expansion while being able to withstand strong chemicals and is non-porous" to find out about the suitable material for the balloon. 
  2. I used ChatGPT to search up "Can Viton (FKM) Rubber be used to create a balloon?" to know more about the Viton (FKM) Rubber as a balloon material. 
  3. I wrote up on the "Balloon" section for the proposed solution which discuss the material used for the balloon. 
  1. I used Google to search up on float switches. 
  2. I wrote up on the "Float Switches" section for the proposed solution. 
  1. I used Google to search up on air pumps. 
  2. I wrote up on the "Air pumps" section for the proposed solution. 
  1. I used ChatGPT to search up "Chemical-Corrosion Resistant Steel) to understand more about the material used to build the main frame of the mechanical skimmer. 
  2. I used Google to search up more about SUS316 Steel as the material for our mechanical skimmer. 
  3. I wrote up on the "Mechanical Skimmers" section for the proposed solution. 
  1. I used Google to search up more about "Latex Balloons". 
  2. I used Google to search up more about "Silicone Rubber". Focus on Silicon Rubber due to the mix between elasticity and chemical resistance. 
  3. I used ChatGPT to find out more about "Silicone Rubber". 
  4. I wrote up on the "Balloon" Section (updated). 
  1. I wrote the whole proposed solution based off the information I have gathered about all the components and what the team's proposed solution was. (inclusive of "sludge collection point")
Tech Report (Final)
  1. After the feedback was given, I front loaded the whole proposed solution to the background. 
  2. I wrote the whole proposed solution (Process, How, Implementation).

    Thanks, Jarrett, for this detailed description of the many contributions you have made.

    Hopefully, not the whole proposed solution was frontloaded, just the bits that are an actual review of the tech rather than ypur proposed solution. :)

My Self Introduction

Dear Professor Blackstone,   I hope this email finds you well. I am Jarrett Ng and I pursued aeronautical engineering at Singapore Polytechnic. During my basic military training, I decided to sign on as a naval engineer. I had always had a keen interest in warships, especially the combat systems behind the gunnery onboard the warships. How does this gun system work? I had always loved finding out what each part of the component is for in the overall system and how does it work. Hence, I decided to pursue mechanical engineering here at SIT to enhance my understanding in engineering.   My weakness in communication lies in my confidence in speaking. Throughout my whole life, I always have an issue with projecting my voice and sharing my ideas. I would often start off a presentation with a shaky voice and only becoming more stable as the presentation goes on. Despite all the presentations I had went through, I always seem to go back to where I was originally. Being an intr...

Interpretation of Quote

 “Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.” Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) Communication skills are important for engineers both during education and in their future careers. Drawing from work experience, it is a realisation that engineers do suffer from poor communication. Certain ideas or instructions could be passed done. However, due to the poor choice of words, the message could come off as either too ambiguous or too specific. Most of the time the message will be on either end of the spectrum. Besides focusing on communication, knowledge also plays a key factor in ensuring success in engineering. Understanding specific terms and theories will aid engineers in better communication as well.
