Whatever you’ve heard about 209, it’s probably true. One of the most challenging courses if not the most challenging course you will take during your second year of Electrical Engineering (I cannot speak on behalf of COMPSYS), It demands the best out of you. In this blog I would like to perform a dissection on…Continue Reading Father Stretch My Hands
Items I used in the past two years We can increase our survivability in Electrical Engineering by purchasing certain items. Here is my list of items i used to help me push through the madness engineering likes to throw at us. Powerful computer As Electrical Engineers we run a lot of programs either to emulate…Continue Reading EEEE (Electrical and Electronic Essentials)
Half Empty or Half Full? Can you believe half half the semester has already gone by? I sure do. So far this semester I’ve stayed till 12am in a lab, fluffed my interview and currently typing this up at uni. Yes. During the mid sem break. The jump in commitment expected from students has massively…Continue Reading Just a City Boy
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
Ahh shit, here we go again… Hi! I’m Bruce, a part 2 Electrical and Electronics Student, and with Sem 2 on its way I’m confident there’s been plenty of discussion about choosing your specialization. What are my friends choosing? GPA requirement? Will I pass? At such uncertain times I’m hoping my personal experience will not…Continue Reading Electrical for Dummies
(If you notice that this was posted late, it’s because I initially had a timer set for this post to air at Midnight, Sunday, but it never did and so here it is nearly 13 hours after I was meant to post this mess of my final blog as 2024’s Electrical Blogger) It’s been a…Continue Reading 6) What would you call a power failure? (The Final Pun of the Year!)
Not the first time that I had thoughts on chowing down on one of the many resistors we get to keep after every Electrical lab session. Certainly not the last! It’s been a few hectic couple more weeks since the last time I have blogged, but I honestly thought it was going to be a…Continue Reading 5) Why would an Electrical student eat a light bulb? (Or a Dramatic reading of the 2nd year courses for Electrical)
Welcome back everyone! In complete honesty, I do not have a solid plan for what this blog will be about… Because what else is there to say? Much of the past blogs before mine have gone into deep detail about surviving possibly the hardest course in Sem 2 (ELECTENG/COMPSYS 209: See here for a great…Continue Reading 4) “You might ask how it feels to stick a finger in an electrical outlet…”
No matter watt! Considering that we are now entering the mid-semester study break (it’s never a vacation for us Engineering students, unfortunately), I’m sure that you also want to kick it back and not want to think about the work upcoming in two weeks, right? It’s a good time for me to gather my thoughts…Continue Reading 3) Be Positive! (For the sake of everyone reading, this is my Mid-Sem woes as an Electrical Student)
… These are some dark times. Right now, I am in a bit of a dark place. Even then, I just enjoy the little things in the dark and remain in a calm state with the resources I have. You could say that I go with the flow when it comes to this course; if…Continue Reading 2) I can’t afford to pay for electricity anymore…
