Perspective Since the purpose of the Part II student blog is to help first years choose their specializations, the focus has largely been on the courses taken in their respective specializations. But I believe that only tells one side of the story. There are many aspects of the Engineering lifestyle that we overlook, and in…Continue Reading The Bark Don’t Match the Bite
My time as a software baddie 👩🏽💻 (disclaimer: this is totally NOT hate mail to software folks…) My second year had an unconventional start, with me actually taking Software Engineering. But wait- why the hell did I pivot to Structural then? (You may be wondering… or not) Well.. long story short, software just wasn’t for…Continue Reading Debugging My Degree: Why I Left Software for Structural Engineering
What’s up, legends!!! I’m Maadhav, and I’m absolutely STOKED to be your guide through the organised chaos that is Part II Mechanical Engineering! Choosing your spec can feel like trying to juggle blindfolded while riding a unicycle (teachings of the all-star Peter Bier 😉). But don’t worry, I’m here to spill ALL the beans 🫘…Continue Reading Welcome to the World of Part II Mechanical Engineering
Hey y’all 👋🌊 I’m Arren and I’m super excited to welcome you to the Mechatronics Blog for 2025! Picking your spec can be a suuuuper intimidating task, so I’m here to lighten your load and pull back the curtain on the elusive world of mechatronics. Over the next semester, I’ll be talking about different courses,…Continue Reading Love, Death & Robots: A semester of Mechatronics
Maybe I’ll start with this. I write to you, eager Part Ones, on behalf of the best specialisation in the world: Chemical and Materials Engineering (which I’m gonna call CHEMMAT now, for the sake of my fingers). But I’m certain that a good chunk of you don’t know exactly what that is. I’ll be honest: I didn’t fully know what it meant either until I did a bit more research in my Part One. But you know what? After finding out, I was pumped for Part II. Hopefully, by the end of this semester, you’ll feel the same….Continue Reading The **** is CHEMMAT anyway?
Ahh shit, here we go again… Hi! I’m Bruce, a part 2 Electrical and Electronics Student, and with Sem 2 on its way I’m confident there’s been plenty of discussion about choosing your specialization. What are my friends choosing? GPA requirement? Will I pass? At such uncertain times I’m hoping my personal experience will not…Continue Reading Electrical for Dummies
