Project Contributions

  •  I contributed the idea to make the cost of AlterG lower for the public.
  • We decided to choose Jumill's idea on smart suspension system for bicycles. 
  • To be precise about our product, I discussed with the group if we were using sensors or cameras for the smart suspension system.
  • I contributed to the ideal section for our project.
  • Researched on similar ideas out there.
  • Found Fox's smart suspension system however they are target audience is for normal bicycles.
  • Took the idea and implement it on to electronics bicycles.
  • Contributed to the problem solution for the presentation and report.
  • Contributed to evaluation/benefits for the technical report.
  • Did APA citation for images and links.
  • Helped Yu Yang with his stats for medical report.

Introduction, Communication Skills and Module Goals.

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Ng Zi Long Justin, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. In this letter, I will provide an overview of my educational background, communication strengths and challenges, and the goals I aim to achieve throughout this module. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) in 2022 with a diploma in Aerospace Electronics. My passion for the aerospace industry began when I was 14, after my father, who works as an Aerospace Technician, brought home an old black box. That experience ignited my curiosity, and I have been captivated by the field ever since. While my background is in Aerospace Electronics, I chose to pursue Mechanical Engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) to broaden my knowledge and explore career opportunities beyond electronics. One of my key communication challenges is public speaking. I occasionally experience slight stuttering, which sometimes makes me concerned about delivering my message clear...

The Critical Role of Communication in Engineering Education

 “Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?” Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer, USA, “Good Communication Is Essential...” (2014) What I understood from this quote is that without proper communication—such as voicing or presenting your ideas to larger companies to secure sponsors or investors—these ideas will remain just ideas instead of becoming mature products. As for "why is this lost to us when we are engineering students?", I believe it’s due to differences in the environment and teaching between experienced engineers and engineering students. As students, we often share our ideas only within our own project groups and lack the support to present them to larger companies. In contrast, experienced engineers not only have thei...

Summary Draft 1 + Thesis

The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill utilizes NASA-developed Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology to assist in rehabilitation and athletic training by reducing the user’s effective body weight, allowing for movement with less impact on the joints (AlterG, n.d). It comprises a treadmill surface, an inflatable air chamber that encases the lower body, and an advanced control system for adjusting body weight (NASA, 2009).A key feature is its precise body weight reduction capability, which ranges from 20% to 100%, creating a low-impact running surface that minimizes joint stress (NCBI, 2022). The air chamber generates an adjustable pressure environment, enabling users to experience various levels of weightlessness, while the treadmill surface and control system provides real-time feedback, facilitating effective training and rehabilitation (AlterG, n.d.; NASA, 2009; NCBI, 2022). The Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology in the AlterG treadmill revolutionizes rehabilitation with its ...
