Task 7 : Self Introduction

Dear Professor Blackstone, I graduated from Republic Polytechnic with a diploma of materials science. Since young, I have always enjoyed taking apart of objects such as pens or toys with rotating parts because I love figuring out how things are operated and this extends to machines as well. It's just very interesting to me how combining springs, gears and pistons could create something new. Materials science was a pleasure to learn as I get to understand more on why materials function the way they do. I also enjoy drawing and photography and most wouldn't think an engineering student would have these as their hobbies but I think that an artist isn't so different from an engineer, both follow the same creative thinking process and have the desire to create.  One of my strengths is that I have experiences in presenting because as you know, Republic Polytechnic is known for making their students do reflections and presentations a lot. Not only that, I have also been an emcee o...

Summary Reader Response draft 3 : RFID system

Hamadneh et al. (1970), in their article "Uncertain Supply Chain Management: The benefits and challenges of RFID technology implementation in supply chain: A case study from the Turkish construction sector." describes radio frequency identification (RFID) as a technology that automates data collection and identification utilizing electromagnetic fields. It consists of only three components; tags emitting signals, readers, and software for data storage. The tags can exist as passive, active, or semi-active, each offering distinct advantages in terms of read range, lifespan, and functionality(Amsler & Shea, 2021) The origins of RFID can be traced back as early as World War II, which was used to identify planes on radar, determining who was friend or foe. However, the first patented RFID technology was claimed in 1973 by an entrepreneur, Charles Walton, for a passive transponder embedded in cards to unlock doors without using keys (Goldberg, 2020). Now in the modern times o...
