Self Introduction Letter

 

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,

My name is Ng Wen Han and I'm currently a year 1 civil engineering student in Singapore Institute of Technology. Allow me to use this letter to introduce myself to you so that you can get to know me better. I was an electronics student for 5 years, 2 years in Institute of Technical Education and 3 years in Ngee Ann polytechnic. After completing my diploma, I made the decision to stop electronics and pursued another field of profession which is civil engineering. The reason for this change is because I would like to try and experience another different field, preferably one which focuses on hands-on experience and thus my search narrowed down to civil engineering. 

Growing up, I have always been very introverted hence I love spending time alone or with my loved ones. During the weekend, I will take short breaks from studying to play some video games and once in a while, go down to have a short walk in the park with my partner. I appreciate and cherish those moments as it will help me recharge before going back to school.

One of my strength in communication is to brainstorm for ideas and solutions when needed. I love to contribute by providing suggestions as this makes me feel included in the group or team. One of my weakness will be presenting in front of a large crowd. Due to the crowd size, I sometimes find myself feeling anxious and this could lead to me messing up my presentation. 

One of my goals from this module is to learn how to speak confidently, be it in front of a large or small crowd. I believe being able to speak confidently allows me to deliver the key points to my audience and I will also be able to gain their trust. Another goal I would like to achieve is to be able to write quality reports as this is crucial for all engineers. With a neat and detailed report, readers will be able to capture the main objectives to achieve the desired result. With that being said, I seek your kind help in supporting me to achieve these 2 goals mentioned.

Thank you for your time and wish you a pleasant day ahead,

Ng Wen Han

  1. Hi Wen Han
    Thanks for sharing your introductory email. This email has created a better insight for me to know u better. As someone who is introverted, I too was afraid to speak in front of huge crowds, which your experience is to somewhat relatable to me. Your meaningful and relatable story provides a personal and engaging touch. Overall this email demonstrates a clear and easy structure for users to read.

    With that said, I look forward to learn together with you in this module this trimester

  6. Dear Wen Han,

    Thank you for this clear and detailed letter, which addresses most of the points of the brief. In it you discuss, for example, how your interest in engineering has evolved, from electronic to civil, but I'm curious how the ball started rolling toward engineering in the first place.

    You also share how you have "always been very introverted." As I read that I wondered how it has impacted your comm skills. I understand that you may be shy to present in front of crowds. Have there been any other impacts?

    You also share other info about your comm skills levels and discuss your aim to improve your public speaking and report writing. Rest assured that those areas will be covered in the project work/oral presentation in our module. :)

    As for language use, this is a clear effort, but there is one sentence structure issue: Growing up, I have always been very introverted hence I love spending time alone or with my loved ones. > (run on sentence)

    I look forward to working with you further this term.

    Best wishes,

    Brad
