Memo 1:

Apparently your talent of good planning is expressed here, especially in the data sets column.

On project 1:

How does the NGO's decision connect to engineering education?

A bias on your bias: I assume that it is necessary to have a presumed answer for your question (although you are well possible to change it as your research goes), this may help you to decide what to examine in the beginning.

On project 2:

It reminds me of Linda Layne's research on how the home pregnancy test technology challenges the local knowledges of “pregnancy”. Maybe you could find some hints there.

On project 4: I am always thinking that the reverse influence of technological transfer(how the receiver accept and adapt the technology, and how this acceptance and adaptation in turn influence the exporter of technologies) is interesting and under-discovered, I'm curious to see your research on this topic.

Memo 2:

What an amazing talent of advice provision! I will tend to you for help next time I'm confused.

As for the anxiety of public speaking, I think it's probably because you care too much about people's response (which is also a problem of mine). The advantage of being in an academic world is that you can always try different things if the present one doesn't work well, so don't worry too much, just keep trying.
