WEEK 2

HELLO, welcome back to our blog. So this week we were tasked to do a literature review. So u may be asking what is a literature review? that information is down below so scroll down!!


WHAT IS LITERATURE REVIEW?💭

It is a review of different sources from peer-reviewed journals, ebooks, internet search engines etc.


WHY DO WE NEED A LITERATURE REVIEW?👀❔

It examines the sources relevant to your research area and also provides a critical evaluation as well as as a summary of them. It also critically analyses the information gathered by identifying gaps in current knowledge:

- by showing limitations of theories and points of view and;

- by formulating areas for further research and reviewing areas of controversy.


MAIN REASONS👇:

1. Accessing the current state of research on a topic.

2. Identifying the experts on a particular topic.

3. Identify the key questions about a topic that need further research.

4. helps stay clear of inadvertent plagiarism.


ATTRIBUTES OF A GOOD LITERATURE REVIEW😋👍

1. Source must be relevant and reliable.

2. Lay a strong foundation for the research topic.

3. Narrow enough to eliminate insignificant information.

4. Wide enough to cover enough information required on the topic.

5. Strike a balance between sources supporting and opposing a particular aspect or argument.


So our group did a literature review on a topic that we choose together. more information are down below!! 👇👇

WEEK 5 PRACTICAL 2

HELLO👋! welcome back to our blog. This week we got to do practical 2 at the comfort of our homes due to the tighter restrictions in phase 2 in Singapore. Don't worry we had taken videos and photos so that you can be on this journey with us as well😁. PRACTICAL 2 This practical is about using an airlift pump to pump water from a 5L jug to another container. We used different measurements as identified in our lab manual to see which measurement would pump the same amount of water in a shorter amount of time. We used flowrates to determine which measurement is FASTEST💨 . Higher the flowrate, the faster it takes to pump water from the jug to the other container. Safety Precautions taken❗️: 1.Do not handle the electrical plugs when hands are wet 2.Clear the working area, i.e. do not put laptop within 1 m of the working area 3.Do not place the water containers near the edges of a table to prevent them from dropping off Roles & Responsibilities Name Team Leader (Ensur...

 HELLO👋! Welcome back to our blog. So this week was an asynchronous lesson and we were tasked to recap on our Year 1 module: Material For Design(MFD) 🔗 so that we can use it to complete our given assignment.  As we reviewed on the materials given, we realized that MFD is related to designing a chemical product as it involves specifying a shape, choosing a manufacturing process and the process of selection of a material which is most suitable for that particular product. This process is called COWS decision matrix . A brief introduction on  COWS decision matrix is below so scroll down👇👇!! COWS Decision Matrix🐄 It involves: C - Criteria , develop a hierarchy of criteria, also known as decision model. O - Identify options , also known as solutions or alternatives. W -  Assign a weightage to each criterion based on its importance in the final decision.  S -    Rate each option on a ratio scale by assigning it a score of 1...
