Executive Summary
This individual portfolio provides a brief information, advantages, and disadvantages about
each of the reflective writings. References for each of the reflective writing was mentioned
intext. A team project, “Climate impact on water quality” was studied and submitted where I
presented different methodologies. This portfolio most importantly taught me about time
management. By submitting my assignment and presentations on time, I feel that I made an
effective use of my time management skills. This portfolio helped me improve by
communication skills and get a different perspective on issues. By self-assessing the work, I
felt more responsible and concerned about the outcome. This portfolio on a whole depicts my
written skills, responsibility and my interest towards Engineering.
