And here we are! The last post of 2022, and I’m officially halfway through my degree! It’s fair to say this year hasn’t been all rainbows and butterflies, but it’s been one hell of a ride. Because I have no idea what to talk about, here’s a few life/uni tips from a dummy (me!) that…Continue Reading Enginearing my limit
Because I procrastinated writing these blog posts (totally not posting three times in one day), you now get to deal with a post-exam Sarina who’s already a month into her internship. Lucky you! I’m currently a Systems Engineering Intern at Beca as part of the Beca Applied Technologies, commonly abbreviated as BAT. They’ve kinda taken…Continue Reading A day in the life (of an intern)
Alright, so the burning question y’all want answered – why did I end up choosing mechatronics? (For those of you who haven’t read my first post, I spent the majority of the second half of Part I deciding between mechanical and mechatronics.

This is my last post for 2022! Sorry the last posts have been a bit delayed, first there was exam season and now I’m deep into my internship!

What a year it has been. Eight courses and a handful of exams later, I am now only one result away from being able to tick this year off. As I cast my eyes across the last two semesters that are all but behind me, with a mixture of relief and contentment (thankfully without contempt)…Continue Reading Goodby-EEE
Semester 2 has finally come to an end! Fair warning, it goes extremely fast, everyone I’ve talked to thought so as well. Maybe its just us getting older and time going faster but be prepared to be utterly confused as to how you are already a month into the semester. Anyways, this post is going…Continue Reading Semester 2 done and dusted!
Hey hey! We’re back at it again, and today we’ll be breaking down the sem 2 courses. Let’s hop right into it! ENGGEN 204: Professional Skills and Communication This paper is taken by all Part II students, meaning you’ll be thrown into a group with people from different specs. It consists of a combination of…Continue Reading Breakdowns (courses and otherwise)
Preface Internships. Where do I even begin? I am by no means proficient in regards to any part of the delightful process that is hunting for the aforementioned practical hours that ENGGEN 499 requires. Bearing that in mind, I have a collection of seemingly useful tips, suggestions, and recommendations that I have picked up along…Continue Reading One Thousand and One Applications; Internship Delights
