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. Throughout the year, I remained unwavering in my decision, and by the time selection rolled out, the same option returned to the forefront of my mind. That option in…Continue Reading You Should Visit Your Dentist; It’s a Lovely Time of Year
Welcome! I’m Brian, and I’ll be your Electrical blogger this year. I have been described by my COMPSYS201 lecturer as “making things rather worse,” and I can only hope to carry over this same positive work ethic and dedication as I enter the blog team this year. Outside of my degree, I’m usually chasing deadlines…Continue Reading Electromagnetic In(tro)duction
It’s the 13th November 2018. Our last (and only) exam was 5th November. Yes, second year Electrical students have only one exam in the second semester. Now this probably sounds like music to your ears, it certainly did when I first heard this wonderful news! While it is nice having only one exam to study…Continue Reading YES I MADE IT
Hi there! It’s been two weeks since the end of our mid-semester break. And by ‘break’ I don’t mean an actual break, as in a holiday. Oh no no. I was busier than I usually am at uni (and that’s pretty busy!). I shifted house during the break and that lost me about five days…Continue Reading Pressing On
I can’t believe it’s already the third week of semester 2! I swear we just started back only a few days ago? The good news is that the semester is going fast which means that it will be over really soon. The bad news is that it’s already really busy, and is only going to…Continue Reading The World Needs Electrical Engineers!
After a nice break from the previous year’s grind, it was time to get back to learning. I was indeed excited – I had already completed one year of my degree and made it through! I was on my way to reaching my goal. Since the second semester of the year before, I knew I…Continue Reading Why Electrical?
Hi everyone. Last week we sat our ELECTENG 204 final exam (worth 70% of the final grade) and Semester Two is officially over. I am so happy that I have survived this semester and by far it has been the best semester for me. When I look back at the last 4 weeks of the…Continue Reading A Great Ending to a Challenging Semester
