    Hi Roy,

    We read through your product description summary and found that the introduction is good as it gives a clear summary of the key points of the product.

    However, the second & third paragraphs can be made to be more digestible by including more breaks in sentences. We also felt that a lot of detailed information (e.g. types of smartphones it is compatible with, how the car adapter & speakers work) can be omitted and mentioned later in the product analysis portion.

    In terms of language, we found some errors, and have listed it below :
    -"The driver //can// easily change between"
    -"it can be used on a //smartphones such as// Android or iPhone//.// Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are required to experience the functionality of the product onboard the car. "
    -“enables it to remain secure //in its place. It also// can rotate 140 degrees of rotation

    Overall we feel that whilst your summary is generally good with many key points, it is a little bit heavy on details, which can be further summarized or mentioned in the product analysis. Keep up the good work!

Formal Email of Self-Introduction

Dear Professor Brad, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as a student in the TLM1010 course.  My name is Roy Yong Jin Yao, currently an undergraduate pursuing a degree in Telematics in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).  I had graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) with a diploma in mechatronics engineering specialised in automation. I was able to gain an overview understanding of engineering through this diploma during my time in NYP. My passion for engineering was sparked by curiosity and a challenge to myself to understand more about how the hardware and software are linked to complete machine function. Although the learning curve for the fundamentals of engineering was steep, the curiosity grew even deeper. During my polytechnic Final Year Project (FYP) I was tasked to write a set of programming in myRIO and a training guide regarding it for our machine to operate with records from seniors who have created something similar. I was exposed to many

With futuristic image-processing of “high dynamic range scenes”, the smartphone view application has clear rear-view which is perceptible under daylight and when switch to dark mode would allow clear vision in a lesser light environment.
