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
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
Goodness gracious it’s just about the end of year two! As much as I may not like the way that it sounds when said out loud, this marks the halfway point of my degree. Having reached midway one might expect feelings of confidence, competence or even congruence in regard to one’s specialisation … I had…Continue Reading Why-EEE?
I thought that I might share with you all some thematic consistencies that I have noticed across my courses this year. While these motifs may be broad in their scope, and as such can be applied to any engineering specialization, I will try and put an EEE twist to them all. Simulations and their pitfalls…Continue Reading themes – volume 1

I had thought that perhaps this year might be different, that perhaps ELECTENG 101 may have breathed excitement…Continue Reading EEE(w) – Reflections on a semester past

I’m not going to lie. This has been, by far, the most challenging semester. There have been many moments where…Continue Reading Final thoughts and goodbye
For a long time, I didn’t think I’d write with this post. My internship hunting experience had been months upon months of disappointment and rejection, and I didn’t feel in any place to impart wisdom. But, things are looking better now, and I swear this post isn’t me humble bragging about gaining an internship, but rather,…Continue Reading My internship hunt experience
I thought that (electeng) 101 reasons to choose electrical would be a great post title, and I got so stuck on the gag that I couldn’t stray away from it. So, in the spirit of lame techy jokes, this is 0b101 or 1012 reasons or five reasons to choose electrical. Roughly one year ago, when I was deciding what specialisation I…Continue Reading (ELECTENG) 101 reasons to choose electrical
