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

We’re hurtling towards midsemester break at an alarming rate. For some, this may be great. For part II electrical/computer systems, it’s absolutely terrifying!

Welcome back to the electrical blog, and you guys are in for a real treat today! I had a chat with electrical engineering messiah William Lee about all things electrical: why he chose the subject, how he found his experiences working in the industry, and of course – the most pressing scoop – the inspiration…Continue Reading WILLIAM LEE: as presented by Spark Arena
Welcome back to the electrical blog! Today, I’m back talking with some friends within my specialization about why they chose electrical, and what they get up to outside of their degree in their spare time. Let’s jump right back into it! Name: Niwanthi What attracted you to Electrical Engineering? The small-scale nature of the field…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 2
[Before we start, you’ve probably realised that I’m terrible at giving in-depth summaries of course content. Last year’s blogger Chantelle covers this semester’s content in good detail, all of which has barely changed over the previous year.] “If these past few weeks have reassured us electrical engineers of anything, it’s that we’re by no means…Continue Reading ‘What is Engineering Science?’ and other questions I ask myself in Electrical.
Reflecting on my last two blogs, I’d call it fair to say that I haven’t done the greatest job selling electrical engineering. Sure, I’ve made numerous forgettable jokes here and there, but it’s probably time to give you some actual insights into what second year is like in electrical. At this point, you’re probably expecting…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 1
From the offset of first year, when my innocent eyes perused the bounteous selection of specializations on offer, my heart was set on one special option.

That option in…Continue Reading You Should Visit Your Dentist; It’s a Lovely Time of Year
