Summary + Thesis + Support #2

Summary 

Autodesk Revit is a powerful building information modelling (BIM) software that consolidates various tools and transformation of a project from design to completion. It allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to plan, design, and manage building projects (Autodesk Revit, 2025). According to the same website, Revit provides parametric modelling, multidisciplinary collaboration, and automatic documentation. Users can design structural elements such as beams and columns, create floor plans and elevation views, and generate photorealistic 3D renderings to visualize the project. This makes it especially useful for complex building designs or detailed layouts. Autodesk Revit is an intelligent and interconnected, where changes automatically update throughout the project, maintaining consistency and accuracy for projects. It brings architecture, structure, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) design onto one platform to perform collaboratively, streamlining workflows, supporting real-time updates, and aiding construction planning. Design accuracy can be improved by detecting mistakes at earlier stages, and reduce the need for future amendments (Autodesk Revit, 2025). In today's rapidly evolving AEC industry, effective collaboration and the use of advanced technology are important (Pinnacle Infotech, n.d.).


Thesis 

Autodesk Revit’s ability to provide advanced 3D visualisation and work-sharing platform makes it an essential tool for professionals to work effectively for construction projects.


Support 1 

Autodesk Revit allows professionals to create highly detailed 3D models, reducing design errors and improving project visualisation before construction begins.


Support 2


Revit’s cloud-based work-sharing capabilities enable multiple team members to collaborate in real-time, reducing conflicts and improving efficiency.



Counterargument 

Many firm and companies still prefer AutoCAD software due to familiarity, making the transition to Revit slow despite the advantages.

The Importance of communication skills for engineers

"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp Me and my partner Renee  thinks that effective communication is the key to great leadership. A leader’s ability is to express ideas clearly and unite people to achive a set goal. Communicate correctly can build trust, influence decisions, and inspiring actions. Strong communication skills enables a leader to adapt to different teams, connect well with audience, whether through speeches, meetings, or one-on-one conversations. Great leaders understand that communication is not just about delivering information but to make others parties feel valued and heard, thus fostering tru...

Formal Introductory Letter

Subject: Self-introduction email and Goals  Dear Professor Blackstone,  My name is Lin Siqi, and I am a student in your Critical Thinking and Communicating class. I am writing this email to share a bit about myself. I am currently pursuing a degree in civil engineering, having earned a diploma in civil engineering from Singapore Polytechnic. In my final year at polytechnic, I undertook an internship with a private construction company. This experience gave me many opportunities to manage various aspects of a construction project, starting from meeting clients and architects, proposing building designs, ordering construction materials, to supervising the building process on-site. The experience solidified my passion for the building and construction industry because I truly enjoyed the responsibilities. As a result, I decided to further my education with a degree to deepen my knowledge and prepare for a fulfilling career in this field. One of my communication strengths is bridg...

Problem Scenario

Ideal To study effectively and improve my academic performance Reality(gap) When I try to study with a group of friends, I often lose focus. I get distracted by chatting, frequent breaks. As a result, I end up with very little productive time for revision. Causes/Conditions I am easily distracted when surrounded by others. Sitting in a group leads to more social interactions and off-topic conversations reduce the efficiency of study session.  Results I struggled to complete my revision on time and feel dissatisfied with my lack of productivity.  Goal To focus better during study sessions, utilize my study time efficiently, and improve my academic result.  Possible change Set up schedule to study alone at home without distractions, avoid group study sessions except for group work.  Testing the hypothesis I decided to stop attending group study sessions before test and instead focus on studying by my own at home. I organized my study space to be quiet and comfortable....
