I had to assess the site map of the Jewel as part of the project that I did in the course. I was clueless on the map and had to do research to know more. This research cultivated my interest towards CVE as I became curious to know more on construction drawings. I also wanted to know how major buildings are built in a way that is safe for the general public. CVE offered the answers to my questions thus I decided to apply for Civil Engineering (CVE) in Singapore Institute of Technology (S...

Summary Reader Response Draft #2

In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, Daubach (2019) highlighted a highly potential clean energy called nuclear fusion. According to Daubach, Moniz who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures Initiative and Nuclear Threat Initiative, states that Singapore, due to its limitation in space, can implement nuclear fusion. However, it is costly to adopt this energy by 2050 given that the Paris Agreement goal is met. Daubach also mentions that Chapman, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, states that nuclear fusion does not produce harmful gases, has lesser decay time of nuclear waste as compared to nuclear fission and only needs a small amount of land. The drawback is that a massive amount of heat and pressure is needed. In addition, the current facilities available are not capable of creating electricity on a large scale. The first nuclear fusion facility is expected to begin operation in 2025 and capable of cateri...
