Education plays a pivotal role in equipping the engineer with the ability to “systematically analyze complex information and apply a holistic approach in designing solutions.” In tertiary institutions such as the National University of Singapore, engineering undergraduates are taught the fundamental principles of calculus, physics and computing; so as to equip them with the basic knowledge to analyse engineering problems. Tutorials and examinations are designed to intrigue students to analyse problems and solve them systematically using the principles they have learnt. Furthermore, laboratory sessions are conducted to provide students hands-on experience. During each laboratory session, students are required to make detailed observations, analyse the results they obtained and suggest plausible solutions to the problems they faced.
We are now living in a globalised world, where education extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. Tertiary institutions ride along the globalisation wave and collaborated with institutions from different countries. Engineering students are encouraged to participate in the Student Exchange Program where they will spend a semester studying in a different country. This enables them to interact and exchange ideas with students and professors of the host institution, which in turn triggering the exploration of new methods into analysing and solving problems. Collaborations between tertiary institutions and industrial companies, both local and abroad, not only give engineering students an opportunity to experience working life, but also an opportunity to deal with real engineering problems. Students who have undergone this attachment program will be better equipped to meet the demands of the dynamic and sophisticated economy.
Practising engineers have undergone a vigorous tertiary education which focused on analytical and critical thinking. Such attributes are viewed with high importance for the growth of the economy at a whole. In recent years, an increasing number of engineers have deflected from the manufacturing and construction industries to the flourishing finance and banking sectors. Such that In the latest budget forum, Madam Halimah Yacob, Assistant Secretary General of National Trade Union Congress, pointed out that even though we are facing the worst ever recession since our independence, there is a silver lining for the manufacturing industry as it is an opportunity to recruit more engineers from the finance sector to drive the industry forward. There are never too many engineers for the economy.

A good way of linking/transitions is used in your essay. Essay content starts from Education which cover both knowledge from studying and hand on experience. it follows to experiences from exchange programs and even attachment. finally you highlighted that the market demand is high even in economy crisis.
ReplyDeleteMay i suggest if you can add introduction and/or conclusion paragraphs which help to organize contents better.
Do not write fragments, John. Here are 2 examples from this posting:
ReplyDeleteParagraph 1: In tertiary institutions such as the National University of Singapore, engineering undergraduates are taught the fundamental principles of calculus, physics and computing; so as to equip them with the basic knowledge to analyse engineering problems.
The part after "so" is a fragment. Use a comma, not a semi-colon, to join this dependent clause to the main clause.
Last paragraph; Such that In the latest budget forum, Madam Halimah Yacob, Assistant Secretary General of National Trade Union Congress, pointed out that even though we are facing the worst ever recession since our independence, there is a silver lining for the manufacturing industry as it is an opportunity to recruit more engineers from the finance sector to drive the industry forward.
Do not begin a sentence with "Such that". Removing "such that" makes this a proper sentence.
