As you can tell by the title, this week has been RiDiCuLoUsLy busyyyy! I’m pretty sure the entire second year engineering cohort is suffering from Burnout Syndrome 🤯, so if you have any friends in second year engineering, please give them a hug when you see them. 🥰 Because I have been a bit behind…Continue Reading BURNOUT WEEK – (featuring some very burnt out mech people)
I know I said my next blog was going to be up by the end of August, but the beginning of September is pretty close, right? It is currently the first week of the mid-semester break and there are six more weeks to go until the end of semester two, which means six more weeks…Continue Reading Six more weeks until I am halfway through my degree! – Mid-semester Mechatronics Update

Between two pretty content heavy courses, and a coding paper whose second half has left me utterly lost, my favourite course was ENGGEN 204. The Courses MECHENG 211 – Super content heavy. You thought…Continue Reading Σ SemTwo = ?
Howdy pals, I just wanted to mix things up a bit, with a little video with some iMovie magic… Here’s a little insight into what life could be like for you as Part II student. Engineering is really what you choose to make of it, so attend some events, volunteer to join things and most importantly,…Continue Reading A Video Log
Howdy! A brief Semester Two update: Stress!!! There were two projects due within the first two days back from the break for Mechatronics – one for 270 (Object Oriented Programming) and one for 222 (Dynamics). Alongside this, the first draft for our 204, ten person group report is due within the first two days back…Continue Reading “Why choose Mechatronics?” Feat. friends
I cannot believe it’s already almost the mid-semester break. This brings about tests and stress (and also the Engineering Revue which you should all be going to watch). This semester has hit me a lot harder than the first one – the three Mech related courses are tough. All three are very content and concept…Continue Reading I Wanna Be A Doctor
Semester One was a bit of a shock, to say the least. I definitely felt the step up, and at times it felt like it was more like a climb. The ‘Part II Blues” hit me really hard so here are some tips and course overviews for budding Part II Mechatronics Engineers to avoid that……Continue Reading Part II Mechatronics: Round 1
