We are researching on h

• Explored KERS Benefits and Challenges:

• Listed the positive and negative aspects of using KERS in vehicles.

• Investigated how KERS systems could potentially be adapted for use in aircraft.

• Generated Integration Ideas

• Brainstormed potential methods to integrate KERS into the Ampaire EEL’s systems.

• Evaluated how KERS could address concerns like fuel efficiency, weight, and performance.


Using Google Search Engine

• Gathered Technical Details regarding the build and body of the aircraft

• Researched articles on the design and layout of the Ampaire EEL aircraft.

• Studied the various compartments and components of the aircraft to identify feasible installation points for KERS.

• Evaluated the practicality of installing the system into an aircraft system.

• Looked into potential limitations of integrating KERS into aircraft systems.

• Identified industry-specific challenges such as weight restrictions and fuel efficiency trade-offs.

 Dear Professor Blackstone, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Denzel, and I am currently studying and pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering in the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). I am hoping to be able to provide some insights in this blog as to why I chose this specific course to study and what my goals are for this module. I recently graduated about 2 years ago with a Mechanical Engineering Diploma from Singapore Polytechnic. But if I am being honest with you, studying engineering and being an engineer wasn't exactly what I wanted in the past. If you had asked me back when I was about 18 years old about what exactly I was interested in, I would have said something drastically different, maybe somewhere along the lines of studying communications, design and art as that was I was more interested in back then instead of physics and solving math equations. However, my grades were not good enough to enter the course of my choice after my O levels, which in ...

Life of an engineering student

 After going through the six quotes provided, I felt like the one by Akbar R Khan really resonated with me as I’m currently a student as well. To start off, it is indeed harder for us students to be taken seriously as we have little to no work experience at all as we mainly focus on simpler and more isolated projects which do not have the same complexities as an actual project in an engineering company. This would deter us from being able to communicate properly as well due to the fact that as a university student, we might not be able to view communication as a very impactful factor in our industry because of the stereotypical thinking that engineering students are bad at communicating as there was barely any considerable emphasis placed on communication. Furthermore, in proper engineering companies and industries, teams are more dynamic and the roles that each individual have are more specific compared to that in terms of the context of a class. Thus, without an exposure to the i...
