Letter of Self Introduction
Dear Professor
Blackstone,
I am taking
this opportunity to introduce myself so that you are able to know me better. My
name is Chua Jia Hern and I currently study robotics systems engineering in
Singapore Institute of Technology. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with
a diploma in mechanical engineering in 2020. After that, I went to serve National
Service and was posted to the Republic of Singapore Navy as a marine systems
operator onboard a frigate.
While
studying at Singapore Polytechnic, I was introduced to computer programming as
it was a subject in the curriculum. That sparked my passion for programming and
I applied the knowledge I have learnt in my internship project. My team and I
created a program using C++ programming language to keep track of inventory and
tool management, allowing data to be stored by scanning barcodes. Due to my
interest in programming and my technical knowledge of mechanical engineering, I
wanted to study in a university course where I could apply and develop these skills.
Robotics systems engineering is a splendid example of a course where I could achieve
that. This is because both hardware and software are integrated together to
achieve an end goal.
Other than
having sufficient knowledge of robotics systems, another crucial skill set to
have is the ability to be an effective communicator who can apply critical
thinking adeptly. Therefore, my aim for this module is to be able to understand
how we can apply critical thinking to our communication, be it through a written
letter or a verbal presentation. Moreover, I hope to learn to be more
expressive during speeches or presentations. This is because I tend to speak in
a dull tone, which would make it seem that I am not speaking clearly, thus resulting
in the audience not being able to understand what I am saying and also giving
the perception that I am not interested in presenting well.
However, I
am confident in writing reports as I have written such reports during my
studies in Singapore Polytechnic. I believe that my prior experience and
knowledge will benefit me. In addition, I am confident in utilizing proper grammar
and language to construct well-thought-out sentences.
In conclusion,
I believe that I will be able to learn how to apply critical thinking to
communicate effectively and become more expressive in presenting at the end of
this module. I look forward to learning from you.
Yours
Sincerely,
Chua Jia

Great self introduction letter. I am able to clearly understand what you are trying to achieve in this module and your interest in robotics systems. I do not see any grammatical error in your letter too.

ReplyDeleteWell written self introduction letter. Letter clearly states and segments your strengths, weaknesses and goals. Linked well on how your internship experiences had lead you to choose robotics systems as your degree of choice for university.
ReplyDeleteSelf introduction was written clearly and segmented well. However, the start of paragraph 4, sentence structure is a little weird.
ReplyDeleteVery well written letter, I was able to understand it clearly.
ReplyDeleteDear Jia Hern,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this clear, concise and informative letter. I appreciate the well focused content being aligned with the assignment brief, the effective organization and the nearly flawless language use. In the process you've provided detailed supports for each specific topic area, allowing us readers to gain a good understanding of who you are.
From the discussion of your programming project and other educational experiences, it's easy to surmise that you have great potential as a well rounded communicator in our module. In terms of challenges such as developing more impactful speaking skills, it's clear you are motivated to improve and for that you'll have plenty of chances in our module.
I look forward to hearing more from you during the rest of the term.
Cheers,
Brad
Thank you for the warm and thoughtful response, Professor Brad. I am humbled by the feedback and I will continue to improve on my communication skills.
