One of them is to be able to communicate more effective with the people around me. Through reflection I met the goals to a small extent. I am able to communicate more clear as weeks pass. to improve my communication, I try to talk to people around me, also sometimes teach people around me Structure, Math and Fluid mechanics. To improve my critical thinking, I learnt to analyse avaliable facts and do proper observation. For the research project, we came up with a software to improve queue situation outside restroom. By doing the project we learnt software design is not easy and requires computer knowledge.

It is a process that takes away mineral components from s aline water . s ea water   is desalinated to produce water suitable for  h uman consumption . Desalination processes are using either thermal methods such as  d istillation or membrane-based methods such as r everse osmosis .

I took interest in engineering when I saw how buildings were made and how machines function. I believe all of us have our strengths and weaknesses. As engineers, we work as a team and therefore have to communicate with other engineers to build modern civilization as we see and know today. Everyone may have different ways of communicating and there are strength and weaknesses in communication. As a personal example, I may communicate with clarity, so other people can understand easily what I am trying to convey. However, I may be weak in being concise with words.
