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
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. It’s been rough and I know I’m waaaaayyyyyyy behind on my posts. Apart from exams for MECHENG 211, 222 and ENGSCI 311, the main event for Mechatronics near the end of this semester was the last assignment for MECHENG 270 which was…Continue Reading A Few Parting Gifts
Sorry for the long wait since the last post, guys – it’s been rough. But before I get into that long story, I’d say a re-evaluation of this semester’s Mechatronics courses is an order: MECHENG 211, aka Thermofluids: well dayumm, the third years weren’t kidding when they said it was the hardest course in second…Continue Reading Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire
With 24th of July came the most annoying end to the holidays: Explanation: notification comes out on Canvas at 7.30am telling the students with MECHENG 270 labs at 8 and 9am that the labs are cancelled this week. Thumbs up, lecturers! Now I can’t really call this year’s inter-semester break a holiday – Warman project,…Continue Reading One Early Monday Morning…
First off, huge shout out to the guy who left his MECHENG 242 exam room screaming, “FREEDOM,” 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 Alive… For Now
Hope you guys had an amazing break! Though I’m sure it’s been ‘part-time’ break for some of you – those GPA 9s aren’t going to make themselves. In this first post, I’ll 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
What’s good, everyone? Hope everyone hasn’t had it too rough this semester. Though, seeing all the first years examining door handles in the Engineering building reminds me that Creo isn’t 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
