Annotated Summary

Sanghvi,K. (2018). Drunk Driving Detection . http://www.hrpub.org/download/20180730/CSIT2-13510632.pdf 


In this article, Sanghvi (2018) researches on drunk driving, which is one of the prime causes to traffic accidents and proposed a variety of sensors that could easily detect and halt people from driving under the influence of alcohol. She mentions how drunk driving accidents are a common critical issue in third world countries and the use of breath monitor by traffic police does not spot all drunk cases. As an alternative, she states that an advanced essential method would be incorporating low-cost and high precise sensors in cars. If the sensors detect alcohol in the driver’s system, it could be programmed to slow down the vehicle speed, warn other people or ” notify the police through the internet”. In support, she presented few drunk detection systems that incorporated sensors such as air-pack, accelerometer, orientation and alcohol, with their advantages and limitations. The article also highlighted that sensors that were combined and personalized with parameters provide an effective solution for the drunk driving problem. Moreover, the article provided useful pieces of information for our research project regarding on types of sensors and technology system that could be implemented in cars to prevent road accidents caused by drunk driving. It not only shows statistical figures and tests on how each sensor works but also gives a clearer description of the methods on building a technology system with sensors, which is a specific focus for our research project.

    Hi Sarmila,

    Your annotated summary has been very insightful, I didn't know that there were so many sensors that can be incorporated into cars! However, there are some areas of improvements that I would like to suggest:
    1) The font sizing and format could be uniform throughout the blog.
    2) In the first line, the use of "the" when talking about traffic accidents as a general, clashes. It could also be obsolete in the sentence.
    3) When stating examples, perhaps it would be suitable to use "for example..." / "such as..." / "to name some examples, …" instead of using "like" as it may appear to be informal or unprofessional.

    Apart from the suggestions mentioned above, I enjoyed reading your summary.

    Cheers!
    Ash

    Hi Sarmila,

    Thank you for the summary. You have a good write-up here. I agree with the article regarding how the sensors are useful in detecting drunk drivers and can help to slow down the car to prevent them from getting into accidents. I am glad the article has helped you in understanding how the sensors work in a car-setting and, I hope we can translate that understanding into our report!

    Regards,
    Izzati

    Hi Sarmila,

    good job on the summary. The summary you have written gave me some insights on the project of our proposal.

    Some improvements could be to make the font size the same size.

    Thank you for the efforts in writing this summary.

    Regards,
    Carely

Assignment 1: Formal Letter (Descriptive Reflection)

  Subject: About myself Dear Mr Professor Blackstone, My name is Sarmila, and I am writing this email to introduce myself as being one of your students in effective communication class. I studied architecture in Nanyang polytechnic and did six months of internship at SAA Architects. Eagerness to learn more about the building sector made me choose Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services) Programme in SIT. While choosing this programme, I set two goals in my mind to achieve within graduation. Merging my designing skills with engineering would help to advance my career and potential earnings. Thus, developing my technical knowledge would be my first goal. Given that networking is critical in the working world, my second goal is to refine my communication and writing skills to create a big network with the professionals in this field. That might give me chances of securing a job by connecting with people who would help me to make well-informed decisions about my c...

Task 3: The importance of communication skills for engineers. Prepare an explanation of the quote to share with the class.

“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 an essential component in any education generally. It is better to develop communication skill from tertiary education, as one would be able to learn and adapt to the most effective method of communication. What are the steps to it; it is by first listening to others, maintaining eye contact with the speakers, seeking opinion & accepting ideas from others and clear explanations. That being so, it takes an individual to adapt and grow his communication skills better through time. Moreover, communication skills are something which is followed and developed in your journey of life. Education would be the first footstep to better prepare you for the industry. Communication skills are a component r...
