In the article "Why the climate fight needs engineers", Shah
(2015) emphasised the importance of having competent engineers who are able to
help in overcoming the sustainable challenges Singapore faces. The writer
agrees with the experts who belief it is essential for engineers to solve the
rising climate changes in Singapore. Hence, the Engineer Progression Pathway
programme aids engineers to develop professional and technical skills to combat
global environment issues. According to Edwin Khew, deputy president of IES and
also chairman of the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore, that Asian
cities are affected by climate change such as experiencing extreme weather
events such as floods, extreme high temperatures and droughts, water shortages,
and rising sea levels due to screaming increase population growth and urban
development. She further quotes Edwin Knew “Sustainable engineering solutions
will be in strong demand, and engineers will see tremendous opportunities, both
locally and regionally “to support the need of engineers to flight climate
change. While I agree with this to some extent, I feel that dependence on
engineers to solve the climate changes does not always result in the best
solution and there are several factors that the article has failed to consider.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all this is an excellent summary that you have provided, with much detail. However, this is quite a lengthy summary with 197 words to be exact. I think there are several points that you may be able to do without, such as the amount of examples of the given.
Another possible mistake that i have managed to discover is the usage of your tenses, whereby you have used both present and past tense.But then again, i am not very sure myself. Anyway, it is interesting that your team have a different view towards the article.
