Hello Everyone! How are you doing? Surviving? Vibing? Here is the long-awaited (or so I hope) post about sem 2 of Mechanical Engineering!!!! Note we still have most of the courses shared with Mechatronics (check out James’ post!) But we have one course that is different- Mechanical takes MECHENG 235 (design and manufacture 2) whereas…Continue Reading Opening New Ideas – Introduction to Sem 2 Courses of Mechanical Engineering

Introduction Internships! What a word that makes us tremble! Unfortunately, all engineering students must complete 800 hours of internship to graduate.  (for more information -> https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/practical-work.html) Although there is a lot of helps here and there, I got together a guide in finding an internship. A bit of a disclaimer; this was how I got…Continue Reading Guide in getting internships

Hello! I hope you all had an excellent first three weeks of semester 2! (How is CHEMMAT 121, ELECTENG 101 and ENGGEN 131 going?) Semester two Last year, a fresh first year, I remember thinking; what do you actually learn in second year? I asked around, read through all these blogs (yes I was, in…Continue Reading Introducing the Part II Sem 1 of Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering!

This is my last post for 2022! Sorry the last posts have been a bit delayed, first there was exam season and now I’m deep into my internship! I hope my posts have helped in some way to determine your specialisation and maybe I even convinced you to choose mechanical! I haven’t mentioned too much…Continue Reading Goodbye + Good Luck

Today I asked my colleagues at my internship for advice about coming out of University and entering the industry. I asked two engineers in my office that I work with, Hannah who studied structural engineering and Blaine who studied mechanical engineering. I am currently working at Thermosash Commercial Ltd. I didn’t ask mechanical specific questions…Continue Reading Advice from the Industry

Semester 2 has finally come to an end! Fair warning, it goes extremely fast, everyone I’ve talked to thought so as well. Maybe its just us getting older and time going faster but be prepared to be utterly confused as to how you are already a month into the semester. Anyways, this post is going…Continue Reading Semester 2 done and dusted!

It feels weird we are already in semester 2, let alone about to start the second half of semester 2. This year has gone so fast it’s scary, the heavy workload of part 2 definitely has contributed to that. Not going to lie, I barely remember what I’ve done this year, in fact someone to…Continue Reading Very unoriginal post sorry, please still read it
