Summary Draft + Thesis #2

The Dyson Hot+Cool™ Jet Focus bladeless fan heater AM09 has a height of 23.43 in (59.5 cm), length of 6.02 in (15.3 cm), width of 4.45 in (11.3cm), and weight of 5.91lb (2.68kg) (Dyson United States, n.d.). The AM09 is a bladeless fan designed to warm or cool the user. With the Air Multiplier™ technology, the fan has no spinning blades and exposed heating parts which makes it safe especially for children despite dispensing air at a speed 15 times faster (Salisbury’s Appliances, 2024). Awarded a “Quiet Mark” distinction from the ear-conscious Noise Abatement Society, noise levels are kept low albeit giving users 10 different strength settings to choose from (Gibbs, 2015). Dyson US (n.d.) states that the fan can be adjusted using a remote control, which is curved and magnetized to be stored neatly on the fan. Lastly, it can be switched off with a sleep timer of predetermined intervals, ranging from 15 minutes to 9 hours. Thesis: The Dyson AM09 with its bladeless design and quality featur

Wenjun and I wanted something relatable to our daily lives We brainstormed for high quality household products that can improve the Qualify-of-life of the user Some of our considerations includes Vacuum Cleaners, Fans, Washing Machines. After much deliberation we settled on the Dyson's bladeless fan. I typed "What are the best-selling bladeless fans" in ChatGPT to look into the different types of bladeless fan and some of the options given were: Dyson AM09 Air Multiplier, Dreo Quiet Bladeless Cooling Fan, Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan, and Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo. After we settled on Dyson AM09, being the first option as well as a household brand We then googled different websites selling AM09 including Dyson's main website Last but not least, we used the information gathered to form our summary

Letter to Professor Blackstone

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Austin, a Y1 student from SIT Mechanical Engineering. I am writing this letter in hopes for you to get to know me better. Before studying in SIT, I was enrolled in the Diploma of Mechatronics and Robotics in Singapore Polytechnic. My love for engineering started from young. I liked building Legos and model kits, and later would move on to build PCs and fix up broken devices for my friends and I. My other hobbies includes playing table tennis, playing chess, swimming and reading. You might be wondering why I made a slight pivot from Diploma in Robotics to a purely mechanical degree. This is because I felt my diploma was wide in breadth, but shallow in depth. It focuses on many aspects of engineering; we are taught mechanical, electrical and programming. After much deliberation to specialize in one aspect, I settled on a Mechanical Engineering degree as I feel it is easier to conceptualize, given that most of our work is observable to the naked

Our understanding on a quote

Our understanding on a quote  “I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is so important). It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch.” Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011) When the common man thinks about engineers and their contributions to society, we often get a common response of awe and respect; owing to the undeniable fact that without engineers, many of the goods and products that make our lives easier today would be non-existent. But, it may come as a shock to many that only a small percentage of engineers feel the value and appreciation people have for them and the own organizations that they work for. A significant survey by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers revealed that only 24% [1] of engineers believe their profession is valu
