Summary + Thesis + Supports #2

-

 Summary:


Thesis Statement: 

In the context of geotechnical engineering, Python's capabilities have tremendous potential in automating soil analysis and site investigations. This application will not only enhance productivity but also support more precise geotechnical practices by predicting soil behavior through advanced modeling and simulation, positioning Python as an invaluable tool in the field.


Support #1: 

One key potential that Python can entail in geotechnical engineering is its ability to Automate Data Analysis.


Support #2: 

Another significant potential that Python can aid in Geotechnical Engineering is by predicting soil behavior through advanced modeling and simulation.

Counterargument: 

A potential drawback of using Python is its steep learning curve.


Conclusion:

    Ypu have a decent thesis, but I don't see explicit mention of the terms "Automate Data Analysis" or "predicting soil behavior through advanced modeling and simulation."
    That means the alignment between your current controlling ideas and the primary supports is not fully aligned.

      Do I have to write " Automate Data analysis " exactly or is the idea the same if I say
      " automating soil analysis"?

  Subject: Introduction email     Dear Professor Blackstone,                                           My name is Lyka, and I am from your critical thinking and communication class. I am a recent graduate from Singapore Polytechnic's civil engineering program and I am writing this email to introduce myself to you. As an immigrant, my parents were very clear and emphasized how hard they worked to be able to bring my siblings and me here. They worked hard and gave me the opportunities that they never had. Their sacrifices, along with the kindness and support that my family has received from others throughout my upbringing, have shaped my belief in the importance of giving back. Moving to a new country has made me more appreciative of what I have and because ...

  Engineering students who primarily focus on technical and analytical aspects for most of their studying life tend to develop a strong focus on technical proficiency, where structured problem-solving with clear methods and outcomes are often emphasized. However, this focus leaves little opportunity for them to practice and develop their communication skills.  Unlike academic tasks which have clear outlines and definitive solutions, professional environments require students to communicate with a diverse variety of people with different experiences, knowledge, and hierarchical authority. This lack of exposure can lead to students feeling unprepared and unsure of how to voice their ideas. This then leads to students feeling hesitant to contribute to discussions which consequently limits their ability to collaborate effectively. Furthermore, students tend to develop the habit of working independently and keeping their ideas to themselves, since academic success is mostly rel...

  One reason why we chose Python is that it is very versatile. In our previous module, Civil Engineering Skills, we used Python for a variety of civil engineering applications. Its versatility allows it to do tasks for different specialties from structural analysis to project management. Python is also very efficient. It has an extensive library and framework that can easily enhance productivity. It can be programmed to do repetitive tasks, handle large datasets, and perform complex calculations, significantly simplifying and streamlining manual calculations that are traditionally time-intensive and prone to error. Additionally, Python is open-source and has a strong global community which ensures continuous development and support. This easy accessibility allows just anyone, including civil engineers to leverage Python to enhance their work.  By focusing on Python in civil engineering, we aim to highlight how the integration of technology and civil engineering practices can p...
