Internships… The only thing that anyone seems to be talking about at the moment. If you don’t know already, you are required to do 800 practical hours throughout your engineering degree.

Well, Engineering Science is a bit of both. What do you mean?? If you thought first year was tough, it only gets…Continue Reading A steep journey into second year
And back into lockdown we go… This semester will be my fourth that COVID19 has impacted, but this one has hurt the most. Not only do we not get to see our lecturers lovely faces in person, we now won’t get to actually build our circuits that we have designed and instead we just look…Continue Reading ELECTENG/COMPSYS 209
Who would’ve thought we’d be starting and ending this year with online learning. To be honest, I don’t know how I would have survived the last week before mid-semester break without the much needed extension for assignments. They don’t call it “hell week” for no reason :’)) With all my assignments and tests done for…Continue Reading software reviews: semester one
Hey everyone! Now that we’re in the midst of lockdown, thought I’d reminisce on all the fun social events I’ve been to throughout the year. Even as an engineering student you can definitely still make time for a social life. Between CMESA (Chemical and Materials Engineering Students Association), WEN (Women in Engineering Network), and AUES…Continue Reading Social life of a CHEMMAT student
