Clickbait’s a good way to get attention right? Well, since you’re around, you might as well give the electrical blog a final read. Hi all, and welcome to what is my last blog for 2019! As promised, I’ll finally give you the rundown of our second-year Electrical design project (which is shared with Computer Systems…Continue Reading 10 secrets you didn’t know about Engsci (number 8 will shock you!)
Welcome back to the electrical blog, and you guys are in for a real treat today! I had a chat with electrical engineering messiah William Lee about all things electrical: why he chose the subject, how he found his experiences working in the industry, and of course – the most pressing scoop – the inspiration…Continue Reading WILLIAM LEE: as presented by Spark Arena
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
[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.
Reflecting on my last two blogs, I’d call it fair to say that I haven’t done the greatest job selling electrical engineering.

At this point, you’re probably expecting…Continue Reading In Conversation with Glorified Sparkies in Training: Part 1

I can’t believe it’s already the third week of semester 2! I swear we just started back only a few days ago? The good news is that the semester is going fast which means that it will be over really soon. The bad news is that it’s already really busy, and is only going to…Continue Reading The World Needs Electrical Engineers!
After a nice break from the previous year’s grind, it was time to get back to learning. I was indeed excited – I had already completed one year of my degree and made it through! I was on my way to reaching my goal. Since the second semester of the year before, I knew I…Continue Reading Why Electrical?
12:00 pm, 7th of March 2017: At this exact time, I was sitting somewhere in the middle of the Conference Centre lecture room waiting for my first Electrical Engineering paper (ELECTENG 202). I couldn’t believe how fast the time went by and I’m finally a Part II student doing a specialisation that students describe as…Continue Reading Breadboards & Multi-Metres
