Self-Introduction Letter
Dear Professor Brad,
I am Karim, a student in your effective communications class. I am writing this letter as a self-introduction in great hopes that you become better acquainted with me. As a previous diploma graduate in Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Aerospace Technology course, I decided to venture further into my studies and pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Singapore Institute of Technology where I currently am to have a broader approach to engineering.
I believe my passion for engineering stems from my interests such as watching Formula 1. As an avid follower of the sport, I have a strong appreciation of the engineering that goes behind creating the fastest race cars on Earth. Every single minute detail of the car such as the aero pieces and the engine has been scrutinized in pursuit of perfection. This spurred me on to choose this path as it has opened my mind to the limitless boundaries of engineering.
In polytechnic, there was a myriad of opportunities to work with various individuals as well as present to different groups. I am therefore made well aware of my strengths and weaknesses. My strengths include the ability to communicate my ideas and knowledge with clarity to my groupmates during projects. My weakness, however, would be that I do not have the competence to consistently give good flowing presentations especially if it is littered with information as I will tend to blank out. This could be attributed to a lack of confidence when presenting.
My aim for this module is to work on my weaknesses and develop myself into a more confident speaker and one who can continuously keep the audience listening and engaged. My unique trait of not giving up easily will no doubt aid me in achieving my goals.
I am thankful that you are taking your time to get to know your students better and I look forward to learning more from you.
Regards,
Karim

Hi Karim. Thank you for your post and I enjoyed reading it. I agree with your some points that aerospace can be related to car industry. I hope it helps you motivate and enjoy this mechanical engineering course. Also, it is good that you can express your own opinions and knowledge to you groupmates to perform well for project or presentation. As you know, many people have difficulty to do a presentation in front of people. I hope you can get more confidence at the end of this module.
