Hello! Welcome back to another yap session. Today I’m going through some FAQs and by FAQ I mean maybe like 1 or 2 people have asked me. 鈿狅笍 Disclaimer: Some of this might be wrong but this is what I鈥檝e gathered during my time.聽 What do Computer Systems Students actually do? Something you might鈥檝e heard…Continue Reading What is CompSys; Is it fun?
Hello Everyone!! Welcome to my first blog !! 馃槑*cheering and confetti* If you’re here I’m guessing you’re indecisive about your spec or a part II that has no idea what they got themselves into. I must admit the past bloggers have broken the spec down pretty well but I hope I can also share some…Continue Reading Computer Systems Is Cool! Source: Trust Me Bro
As I conclude this semester in the field of computer systems engineering, I find myself in a reflective state, contemplating the incredible journey I’ve embarked upon. Opting for this specialization was a significant decision for me, one that has profoundly shaped my identity and perspective within the tech industry. Throughout this semester, I’ve delved deeply…Continue Reading Wrapping up
(ELECTENG/COMPSYS 209) Disclaimer:This will, by no doubt, be the hardest course you would have taken in the first 2 years of electrical / compsys engineering. It will take so much of your time and it is quite heavy on electrical concepts, so if you are thinking about doing compsys after not getting into software but…Continue Reading A Close Look At 209
ELECTENG 292 : Electronics This course starts off amazingly with opamps. The thing that EVERYONE understood and LOVED in 101… If you’re scared about these dodgy triangles and didn’t understand anything (like me), then you’re literally chilling. I was sacking it for a bit when I realised how important these components are in electronics, but…Continue Reading Exploring Electronics and Algorithms: ELECTENG 292 and SOFTENG 284
I’m excited to share my thoughts and experiences on two core courses I’ve taken this semester: COMPSYS 201 – Fundamentals of Computer Engineering and SOFTENG 281 – Object-Oriented Programming. These courses have been nothing short of eye-opening, providing a deeper understanding of the digital world and object-oriented programming. So, grab your virtual hard hat and…Continue Reading COMPSYS 201 and SOFTENG 281: A Student’s Insight
Hey there! If you’re gearing up to delve into the captivating world of computer systems engineering at the University of Auckland, you’ve got a couple of intriguing courses ahead of you: ENGSCI 211 and ELECTENG 291. Let’s chat about what these courses have in store and gather some down-to-earth insights to help you navigate this…Continue Reading Mastering Math and Circuits: ENGSCI 211 and ELECTENG 291
As a student of computer systems engineering, my decision to pursue this specialization was based on a number of factors. Firstly, my love for C coding that I developed while taking ENGGEN 131 was a big influence. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed ELECTENG 101 and found myself fascinated by the workings of computer systems. One of…Continue Reading Not Sure About Computer Systems? Read This!
G’day, your friendly neibourhood compsys man or whatever here. Today we’re talking sem 1 of compsys, which is actually the exact same as it is for electrical students but yep. ElectEng 291 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering This is the continuation of good ol ElectEng 101, in this course you kinda actually understand the formulas/circuits…Continue Reading Sem 1 of Compsys
G’day, I’m Lachlan Hickey and welcome to the part 2 Computer Systems blog for 2022. Bit about me; I was in computer science for a semester before switching to engineering in second sem with the plan to do mechanical but William, 131 and the boolean algebra stuff in 101 made me wanna act up and…Continue Reading Enter Computer Systems
