Rather than introducing each specialisation and telling you exactly what BME is right…Continue Reading Int*rnsh*ps & Selecting Specs: Killing Two Birds with One Stone EARLY & EASILY π
Debugging My Degree: Why I Left Software for Structural Engineering

My time as a software baddie π©π½βπ» (disclaimer: this is totally NOT hate mail to software folksβ¦) My second year had an unconventional start, with me actually taking Software Engineering. But wait- why the hell did I pivot to Structural then? (You may be wonderingβ¦ or not) Well.. long story short, software just wasnβt for…Continue Reading Debugging My Degree: Why I Left Software for Structural Engineering
Code First, Commit Later: A Software Litmus Test

The best way to determine whether software engineering is the right specialisation for you is to start working on a project and writing some code. It’s one thing to learn coding through a course (like in high school or ENGGEN 131), but it’s another thing to work on a “real” project, navigating design challenges, fixing…Continue Reading Code First, Commit Later: A Software Litmus Test

The **** is CHEMMAT anyway?

Maybe I’ll start with this. I write to you, eager Part Ones, on behalf of the best specialisation in the world: Chemical and Materials Engineering (which I’m gonna call CHEMMAT now, for the sake of my fingers). But I’m certain that a good chunk of you don’t know exactly what that is. I’ll be honest: I didn’t fully know what it meant either until I did a bit more research in my Part One. But you know what? After finding out, I was pumped for Part II. Hopefully, by the end of this semester, you’ll feel the same….Continue Reading The **** is CHEMMAT anyway?
