Kia Ora! My name is Julie and I will be your Part II blogger for Mechanical Engineering! My dream was to build a theme park (but other moving things all sound cool!) which is why I am here! My hobbies include reading, writing, and watching comics. I usually hang around the engineering building, so if…Continue Reading Welcome to Mechanical 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.

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

And just like that, you have officially past the end of your first year 🥳! Good job for getting through this far, and hope you didn’t get too demoralised by certain courses which I shall not name. I’m sure y’all got plans for this big summer break, now that the Auckland is gradually opening up. Enjoy…Continue Reading So long, and thanks for all the fish
Boom. Before you know it, semester two’s over already. Wow, who would have thought? It felt like we just went into lockdown a few days ago, but you wake up one day and puff, no more classes. Finally, time to catch up on all those lectures you missed the week before the exams 🙃. But…Continue Reading Semester 2 Stimulations: a Wrap-up?
If you have mates in second or third year, you’ve probably seen them getting stressed about internships in the past couple weeks. Indeed, internship has been on practically everyone’s mind. The Faculty recommends doing one internship after second year, and another one after the third, so no doubt people would be in a frenzy. Equally,…Continue Reading Internship Interdictions
And… here we go again. August 17, 15:03, 206-115. The news dropped. Delta emerging, lockdown imposing, hug your mates and say goodbyes, online lectures await. I expected a lockdown for a while back then, but just like assignment deadlines, it hits you the hardest when its in your face. And now, Auckland’s broke its own…Continue Reading Lock(down)smithing
