Summary Draft 2

The web page “How an accidental discovery made this year could change the world” from BIGTHINK (The Future, 2022) introduces the possibility of using the lithium-sulfur battery. Lithium ion batteries can be used to power most electronic devices or machinery. Nonetheless, they are extremely toxic to vast ecosystems, have lifecycle problems from repeated charging, battery degradation which meant higher cost required for battery replacement, cumbersome for lightweight applications and it being flammable which led Drexel scientist's to look into Lithium sulfur batteries.      The lithium-sulfur battery eliminates the above issues. However, it only has half the charging cycle of lithium-ion batteries. To allow lithium sulfur batteries to last longer, Drexel scientists accidental discovery of a chemical phase of sulfur known as monoclinic gamma-phase sulfur prevents battery degradation. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries last two times longer...

“Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.”

It is communication skills are essential by which engineers not only need to do scope of their work they will have to be involved in other roles such as managing a team to even doing sales. Their job will require them to communicate with people of different groups such as clients, co-workers, and their superiors to provide a clear solution to them which involves them doing a proper presentation or even writing a clear and detailed report. Thus, engineering students should start picking up communication skills before stepping into the workforce.
