The article "The new Apple Pencil Pro is harder to lose and better to draw with" (Weatherbed, 2024) highlights the key features and improvements of Apple's latest stylus, the Apple Pencil Pro, which was released in 2024. According to Weatherbed (2024), the Apple Pencil Pro introduces a new feature called haptic feedback which provides tactile pulses when users squeeze or double tap the stylus. The squeeze gesture also opens a new palette for quick tool, colour, and line weight switching, while maintaining the advanced capabilities of its predecessor. Additionally, there is the barrel roll feature which is a new gyroscope that lets you rotate the device for precise control over curved pens and brush tools. Furthermore, there is a Find My Device app that helps the users to track the stylus if they accidentally misplaced it, this addresses a common issue with earlier models. However, the Apple Pencil Pro is only compatible with the newest iPad models, leaving users with old...

           [ https://www.apple.com/v/apple-pencil/ab/images/overview/pro/hero__z7kty0msgsya_large.jpg ]                                         We asked ChatGPT to give an overview of the Apple Pencil Pro and to also provide us with some links to help us with our research. We used the prompt “Give us an overview of the Apple Pencil Pro. Do provide some links that could aid us with our research as well.” We used some of the links that were provided by ChatGPT. Through Apple’s official website, we managed to get an overview of Apple Pencil Pro. We also looked up Apple’s press releases and keynote presentations where the Apple Pencil Pro was announced. We used Google to further research about the features and functions of Apple Pencil Pro. We used Google to look up art...

Formal Introductory Letter

Subject: A brief introduction of myself Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Min Kaung and I am a year 1 mechanical engineering student at SIT. I am writing this letter to introduce myself to you. I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic in 2022 with a diploma in aeronautical engineering. I started to gain interest in aeroplanes ever since I first saw aeroplanes when I was young and I went to Myanmar airport with my family for my flight to Singapore. The Since then, I would read up more about aeroplanes online to find out more information such as how the aeroplane flies and the different types of aeroplanes. This interest then led me to pursue further studies in engineering related to aeroplanes. My background in aeronautical engineering gives me a more focused understanding of how mechanical systems may be optimised for performance and efficiency, especially in the aerospace industry, and I believe that this is what makes me different from other people. One communication weakness that ...

The Importance of communication skills for engineers

“Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.” - Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007)  What I can infer from this quote is that communication is very important in an engineer's work life. This is because as engineers, we will have to work with our colleagues to achieve the results that we want. For example, when an engineer is designing a product, he will have to work with the manufacturers by seeking their opinion on the design of the product, whether it is feasible. Only by communicating with others, the engineer will then be able to get the product that he desire. Furthermore, some of us might be leading a group of people at work and as a leader, it is important to have good communication skills as you have to give clear and precise instructions to your team so that your team understands what they need to do.
