Awards:
  • Champion of 7th GCDC IMechE Design Competition 2018
Domain Expertise:
Robotics Design and Engineering
  • The team mentions participation in design competitions related to robotics. This knowledge involves the principles and techniques of designing, building, and optimizing robotic systems. It includes understanding the mechanics, electronics, and control systems of robots.
Technical Analysis
  • The team discusses facing technical problems during the design stage of the robot. Mechanical engineers must possess strong problem-solving skills to identify issues, analyze them systematically, and select the best solutions. This includes addressing challenges related to prototype design, material selection, and mechanical parts.

 

Lifelong Learning Excellence:
Critical Thinking and Problem-solving
  • The team encountered technical problems during the design stage, and they had to employ systematic operational procedures to identify the problems and select the best solutions. They learned how to analyze problems, brainstorm ideas, and iterate on their designs to overcome obstacles.
Communication and Presentation Skills
  • Working in a team required effective communication among team members. They learned to listen to each other's opinions, consider different perspectives, and communicate their ideas clearly. Additionally, they developed presentation skills to effectively communicate their solutions to the judges and audience during the competitions.
  • As a team leader, one of the students mentioned the importance of setting an example, motivating and inspiring the team, and effectively managing communication and coordination within the group.
Project Management and Teamwork
  • The students worked as a team throughout the competition, collaborating and supporting each other to achieve their goals. They learned the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and effective division of tasks to accomplish complex projects.

Inspiring Quotes:

Professional Competence - "To optimize robot’s performance and to minimize the potential risk, we never stopped our research, analysis, experiments, and practice on the robot, again and again. " -Mr. Ji-ho SHIN, Year 4, Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Problem Solver -"I realized that instead of trying to solve all problems at once it is better to focus on one and find the best solution for it and then move on to the next. It saves both time and energy. " - Mr. Rudra Someshwar, Year 4, Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Lifelong Learner - "...difficulties always come into our way one after another, and some of them could be pretty harsh... we have learned to analyze the problems in a systematic approach, this helped a lot in overcoming obstacles." - Mr. Hung Ming Roy CHOW, Year 4, Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

Teamwork - "When we were facing with any communication problems, I learned to approach my teammates individually to understand their needs, and to discuss with them about the issues they are having." -Mr. Ji-ho SHIN, Year 4, Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering
