Week 12. Wow how the weeks have flown by. So seeing as its the last week of learning before exams start I thought it would be fitting to give a breakdown on the semester 2 papers of this year! (n/b: we have the same papers as civil in 2nd year) STRCTENG 201: This is the structures…Continue Reading A Structural Engineering Reflection (Pt. 2)
For a long time, I didn’t think I’d write with this post. My internship hunting experience had been months upon months of disappointment and rejection, and I didn’t feel in any place to impart wisdom. But, things are looking better now, and I swear this post isn’t me humble bragging about gaining an internship, but rather,…Continue Reading My internship hunt experience
Whoever said that internship hunting was a full time job in itself, was not wrong. As the summer sun begins to seep through the blooming trees of spring, and as the academic year finally comes to a close, there’s only one thing on many aspiring engineers’ minds: Did I get the job? Finding an internship…Continue Reading The Internal Struggle of Internship Hunting
Its come to that time of the year for first years, picking specialisations….. With UoA offering 10 different engineering specialisations to choose from, the idea of even thinking about what to pick can be daunting. I’m hoping to make the process a little bit easier for you guys, or it not at least a little…Continue Reading Too Many Options!? A guide to helping choose your specialisation

Computer Systems is a very cool specialisation if you enjoy programming but want the tangibility of holding your projects…Continue Reading What happens when you don’t get into Software?
Wow, how the semester has flown by in lockdown. I thought I’d do a little uni-life update with about 3ish weeks left of second year! Approaching the end of the uni year and can be a mix of excitement to be finished, thrilled to hang out with friend at the beach all day and many…Continue Reading T-Minus 2 Weeks Till Exams
Wanna hear something crazy? There are 2-ish weeks left of Semester 2. TWO WEEKS. Hearing this definitely made me wonder where the rest of my semester has gone. I thought mid-sem break was just a week ago? Regardless, we’re more than halfway through semester two and I figured I have enough experience to make a…Continue Reading software reviews: semester two
If you have mates in second or third year, you’ve probably seen them getting stressed about internships in the past couple weeks. Indeed, internship has been on practically everyone’s mind. The Faculty recommends doing one internship after second year, and another one after the third, so no doubt people would be in a frenzy. Equally,…Continue Reading Internship Interdictions
It’s like a puzzle! I’m assuming the majority of you have absolutely no idea what specialisation you want to go into; the coding projects was satisfying so should I do software, the dynamics experiment was fun so should I do mechanical, the truss project was interesting so should I do Civil? What do I do…Continue Reading Fitting the pieces together
I thought that (electeng) 101 reasons to choose electrical would be a great post title, and I got so stuck on the gag that I couldn’t stray away from it. So, in the spirit of lame techy jokes, this is 0b101 or 1012 reasons or five reasons to choose electrical. Roughly one year ago, when I was deciding what specialisation I…Continue Reading (ELECTENG) 101 reasons to choose electrical
