Still deciding which specialisation to pick? MECHATRONICS is obviously the answer! If my previous blog posts still haven’t been able to convince you to choose MECHATRONICS, maybe this one will. 😉 I had a fantastic time looking at the part four MECHATRONICS (and mechanical) projects down at Newmarket campus a few days ago. There were…Continue Reading Exploring Newmarket Campus – Looking at Fourth Year Mechatronics Projects
It’s a Tuesday night. You’re on your phone. Swiping away from your problems. Swipe, swipe swipe … you’re swiping them all right. Trying your hardest to put your best self out there. Waiting to find that perfect match. They’re out there, and you know it. You’re just waiting for one of them to realise that…Continue Reading Swiping Right on Your CV (or, Getting a Software Internship)
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)
Welcome back to the electrical blog! Today, I’m back talking with some friends within my specialization about why they chose electrical, and what they get up to outside of their degree in their spare time. Let’s jump right back into it! Name: Niwanthi What attracted you to Electrical Engineering? The small-scale nature of the field…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 2
So, if you haven’t heard enough about it already, Civil has five papers. But when wanting to learn more about the courses, often times reading the course descriptions can make very little sense given the jargon (I gave up trying to decipher what the topics were and just thought to let fate surprise me). Nor…Continue Reading Literally no one: // Every Civil Engineering student: cIViL hAS fIVE paPERs | #3
As I sit in my Engineering Management and Communication lecture, the existential crisis begins once again. Despite extensively researching computer systems engineering in my first year, I still sometimes wonder exactly what it is I am studying. Why am I not doing software or electrical? What makes computer systems different? In this post, I will…Continue Reading What do Computer Systems Engineers actually do?
[Before we start, you’ve probably realised that I’m terrible at giving in-depth summaries of course content. Last year’s blogger Chantelle covers this semester’s content in good detail, all of which has barely changed over the previous year.] “If these past few weeks have reassured us electrical engineers of anything, it’s that we’re by no means…Continue Reading ‘What is Engineering Science?’ and other questions I ask myself in Electrical.
Your phone dings – it’s a message from your mate. “Where are you?” You step off of your bus and bump into a friend on Symonds Street. “I haven’t seen you in months!” You scamper to your 8am ELECTENG 101 lecture, one minute late. “You must go to the overflow room.” Or maybe none of…Continue Reading Study Spaces (or, Semester 1 in Review)
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
Reflecting on my last two blogs, I’d call it fair to say that I haven’t done the greatest job selling electrical engineering. Sure, I’ve made numerous forgettable jokes here and there, but it’s probably time to give you some actual insights into what second year is like in electrical. At this point, you’re probably expecting…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 1
