ABSTRACT – this report generally consists of the reviews of different presentations. The presentations generally
includes different things and their relevance with the engineering design and applications. Topics like communication,
privacy, lifelong learning and many more have been discussed.
1. COMMUNICATION
Presenter:
Douglas Athenosy
Victor Herrera-Ramirez
Maurin Urrutia
Summery:
The presentation mainly discusses about the
Communication skills and its effect on engineers. Firstly,
there is a discussion regarding the essentiality of
communication and its importance for the engineers. It is
defined as the act of conveying intended meaning from one
entity or group to another. By making use of mutually
understood signs or rules. Engineers, should understood that it
is one of the important way of sending messages by making
use of signs, encoding transmissions, adding voice to the
transmission and many more. After this there is a discussion
regarding the types of communication which involves Verbal
and nonverbal communication. Nonverbal is an important
aspect of communication, which is faced by many peoples it
refers to the use of different body languages for
communication. Engineers need the ability of understanding
what someone says and convey their ideas it acts as a part of
success. There are two levels of communication and this
includes formal and informal communication, which can be
subcategorized into business, political, family, and
interpersonal. After this there is a discussion regarding the
Relevance of communication with engineering design and
practice.. In engineering, it is required to work with persons
from different backgrounds. After this there is a discussion
regarding the effects of Bad communication, which leads to
misconception between the people to whom the speaker wants
to convey the message. Lastly, there is a discussion regarding
the ways of mitigating the issues and this involves asking
frequent questions about any doubts, constant feedback and
keeping of written records.

2. LIFE LONG LEARNING
Presenters:
Andrew Barbosa
Owen Dewar
Lee Leggett III
Summery:
This video consist of the definition of Line Long
Communication which refers to the continuous practice of
voluntary and self-motivated education for the individuals or
professional purposes. This might include the extended
learning for kids, alternative way of education or learning for
specific purposes. It also contains the overview of lifelong
learning, which includes the focus of lifelong learning over
the knowledge which encompasses the idea of cognitivism,
constructivism and heutagogy. The significance of lifelong
learning has been observed in the lives of adults of post-
secondary education. They can use lifelong learning for
improving the technical skill, social skills and professional
skills. The best practices and standards includes the four pillar
of education which is an optimal way of practicing the
exercising of lifelong learning and this includes “learning to
know”, learning to do”, learning to be” and lastly learning to
live together”. Then the discussion about the relevance of
lifelong learning with the engineering design and the practice
is also discussed. The importance of this have also been
discussed along with the application of this in the industries.
After that, some steps have been suggested for the purpose of
including and improving the lifelong learning for the
engineers. After this the challenges faced by the hardware and
the software that is to be used for lifelong learning and the
opportunities of have been discussed by making use of graphs.
One of the major challenge faced by lifelong learning is
standardization. Some of the opportunities includes use of
virtual reality, job training programs and accessibility in poor
communities or developing nations.
Questions or comments:
Brief explanation of all topics provided.
Are there any type of extra benefits
Relevance has been provided in an effective way.
Adequacy of the covered topic:
Ans: 10

Ans: Not always
3. PRIVACY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION
Summery:
This presentation includes the definition and
overview of PI or personal information. PI generally refers to
the information about any individual recorded in any form.
After this, there is discussion about the privacy, which means
the ability of an individual to exercise control over the
collection, use and the dissemination of the PII or personally
Identifiable Information. This is followed by the relevance of
PI and privacy with the engineering design and the practices.
Some guidelines are provided so as to follow the best
practices and the standards along with this few questions also

needs to be answered to the individuals whose PI is being
taken for working purpose. After this some of issues regarding
the privacy of PI of an individual is discussed. This part
discusses about how and where the issues are generally faced.
Some of the best practices and the standards have also been
discussed here which can be adopted for the purpose of
increasing the security of privacy have also been discussed.
The main challenges regarding the privacy of PI and the
opportunities have also been discussed which include things
like phishing and many more. Lastly, the presenter discusses
about the other resources, which can be used by the learners to
learn the ways of protecting the privacy of their PI.

of creativity and problem solving skills in an individual with
an example of Smartphones and IPhone. The Smartphones
and IPhone are the best example given by the presenter to
illustrate the significance of creativity and problem solving
skills. The presenter majorly focuses on the implication of
creativity and problem solving skills in engineering field. The
creativity and problem solving is important in workplace
where advanced technology has taken place and reduced the
human skills effort. The creativity and problem solving skills
play an important role in workplace where new ideas are the
major force to achieve growth and encouragement. The
problem solving skills and creativity require steps to be
