Assignment 1, Submission 1 : Formal Letter

Dear Professor Brad, It is with great enthusiasm that I am writing this letter introducing myself to you. My name is Seah Wang Zhe. I am currently a freshman at the Singapore Institute of Technology, majoring in civil engineering. Having graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma specialising in civil engineering, it was a matter of course for me to continue pursuing my tertiary studies within the same field of study. My deeply vested interest in civil engineering came about from a holiday trip to the city of Kobe, Japan, where I had the opportunity to visit and traverse the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. While travelling through this bridge, my tour bus experienced significant swaying due to tremors from a minor quake that hit the area. Thankfully, the bridge remained structurally stable, and I could cross the bridge safely. I later learned that the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is one of the world’s most remarkable engineering feats and is structurally designed to withstand earthquakes mea

Summary Draft 1 - Ocean Clean-up Machine

-
This article by Schiller (2017) tells the story of Boyan Slat and the culmination of his efforts in making his vision of an Ocean Clean-up Machine a reality. Oceanographer Charles Moore first spotted the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 1977. Since then, the Patch has proliferated to the point of having areas where one could traverse on. By virtue of his profession as an inventor, Slat's innovative design involves booms in a floating arrangement of up to 50 devices of 0.6 miles each He anticipates his project to amass tens of thousand tons of waste a year to be disposed of monthly through these devices. Slat has since announced that his project will commence waste elimination from the Patch in 2018. In addition, he aims to recycle plastic waste into commodities such as chairs and eyewear and attract companies to sponsor each boom with striking logos to aid his company in lowering costs.
