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 āPart II Bluesā 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
Whirlwind. That is exactly how I would describe my so far time in Mechatronics. It’s been full of trials, errors and a lot of coffee. Amounts of coffix and fabulicious sherbets I’d never seen before. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jaynie and I’m basically always on the verge of a heart attack –…Continue Reading Coffix, Please Sponsor Me!
The end of the year is here and with it my last post. Itās been rough and I know Iām waaaaayyyyyyy behind on my posts.

First off, huge shout out to the guy who left his MECHENG 242 exam room screaming, āFREEDOM,ā like that guy from Braveheart. This semester has had its share of ups and downs: the fact that Mechanical and Mechatronics were the last cohorts to finish exams was a little demoralizing. But hey, we pulled through in…Continue Reading Still Aliveā¦ For Now
Hope you guys had an amazing break! Though Iām sure itās been āpart-timeā break for some of you ā those GPA 9s arenāt going to make themselves. In this first post, Iāll give you a run-down of Mechatronics so far and why I chose it. Why Did I Choose Mechatronics? First years tend to choose…Continue Reading The New World
Whatās good, everyone? Hope everyone hasnāt had it too rough this semester. Though, seeing all the first years examining door handles in the Engineering building reminds me that Creo isnāt something to take lightly. I still believe in you all, though – you can do it! My name is Bryan but some people call me…Continue Reading Bryan’s introduction
Marie is an Engineering/Commerce conjoint student that signs up for everything and is still trying to figure out just what Mechatronic Engineering is.
