At the beginning of this effective communication module, I wrote myself two goals in the introduction letter. The first goal was to be more confident in my presentation skill. The second goal was to improve my writing skill. Thirteen weeks have passed and I feel that have achieved what I was aiming for. This module has taught me various skills and techniques to improve both my presentation skills as well as writing skills. This module also helps me develop my critical thinking skills as well as my communicating skills. Throughout the module, we were given many opportunities to apply and practice what we learned. One such example is this activity where we were given limited time to research a certain topic and present our findings in front of the class. This forced me to step out of my comfort zone and improve my presentation skills as we need to improvise my presentation. This helps me to be more confident in my presentation. I have also learned other valuable presentation skills such

1. Introduction This proposal has been developed in response to the request for developing solutions for an engineering problem. It aims to provide the Land Transport Authority and bus operator Go-Ahead Singapore with a focused overview of how design implementations can help to optimize the efficiency of harnessing solar energy for their proof-of-concept trial buses. 1.1 Background According to the bus operator, Go-Ahead Singapore (2021), the proof-of-concept (POC) trials for buses retrofitted with rooftop-mounted solar panels were launched as part of their efforts to implement solutions to support sustainable transportation. The trials aim to improve vehicle efficiency, reduce consumption of diesel fuel and reduce carbon emissions. The trials are expected to run for six months from April until September to undergo various tests (Straits Times, 2021). The bus operator has stated on their website (Go-Ahead Singapore, 2021) that these efforts are in-line with the objective of being a res
