Perspective Since the purpose of the Part II student blog is to help first years choose their specializations, the focus has largely been on the courses taken in their respective specializations. But I believe that only tells one side of the story. There are many aspects of the Engineering lifestyle that we overlook, and in…Continue Reading The Bark Don’t Match the Bite
~HEY PART 1s!~ Opps, I’m sorry – I didn’t mean to scare you with those rather large…and fRiGhtEniNg…words in the title, especially on the first blog of the year 😃😅! But, I have a rather urgent matter to discuss with you. Rather than introducing each specialisation and telling you exactly what BME is right off…Continue Reading Int*rnsh*ps & Selecting Specs: Killing Two Birds with One Stone EARLY & EASILY 😉
My time as a software baddie 👩🏽💻 (disclaimer: this is totally NOT hate mail to software folks…) 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 wondering… or not) Well.. long story short, software just wasn’t for…Continue Reading Debugging My Degree: Why I Left Software for Structural Engineering
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
What’s up, legends!!! I’m Maadhav, and I’m absolutely STOKED to be your guide through the organised chaos that is Part II Mechanical Engineering! Choosing your spec can feel like trying to juggle blindfolded while riding a unicycle (teachings of the all-star Peter Bier 😉). But don’t worry, I’m here to spill ALL the beans 🫘…Continue Reading Welcome to the World of Part II Mechanical Engineering
Hello hello! I’m Jolie, and welcome to my first blog as the Part II Civil & Environmental Engineering blogger! As someone who left specialisation choices to the last minute, I hope to share some of my own experiences with you to help you make the right decision. When it comes down to choosing your specialisation,…Continue Reading What is Civil & Environmental Engineering? 👷♀️🏙️
Hey y’all 👋🌊 I’m Arren and I’m super excited to welcome you to the Mechatronics Blog for 2025! Picking your spec can be a suuuuper intimidating task, so I’m here to lighten your load and pull back the curtain on the elusive world of mechatronics. Over the next semester, I’ll be talking about different courses,…Continue Reading Love, Death & Robots: A semester of Mechatronics

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?
👋 Hi everyone! I’m Ashmit, and this is my very first post as a Part II Engineering Science blogger! A year ago, I was a first‑year student just like many of you, staring at a long list of specialisations and wondering which one would feel like home. I have always felt that the blogs I write…Continue Reading How to Choose Your Engineering Specialisation: How and why I picked EngSci (My Process of Elimination & MART)
