If the last blog wasn’t in-depth enough for you, I have brought you two of the best in the business to tell you more about Engineering Science! Kevin and Justin taught the OR and CM sections in ENGSCI263 respectfully and have done an amazing job this year! They are both outstanding lecturers and pride themselves…Continue Reading Eye-opening perspectives
It’s like a puzzle! I’m assuming the majority of you have absolutely no idea what specialisation you want to go into; the coding projects was satisfying so should I do software, the dynamics experiment was fun so should I do mechanical, the truss project was interesting so should I do Civil? What do I do…Continue Reading Fitting the pieces together
The struggle is real! As you may or may not know, my home town is Dunedin! Dunedin is known for its great student culture and the steepest street in the world, Baldwin Street! Well, Engineering Science is a bit of both. What do you mean?? If you thought first year was tough, it only gets…Continue Reading A steep journey into second year
Before I delve into the depths of Engineering Science, I thought I would outline the cool adventures and opportunities Engineering Science has to offer. Friends! I thought I would mention briefly about my time during lockdown as a first year engineering student. Unlike most others, lockdown was my favourite period last year due to…Continue Reading Fun times in EngSci!
What’s up Engineers! I’m Ben and I am the lucky Part II Engineering Science blogger for 2021! I trust you’ve enjoyed your first year of engineering so far and are excited to choose your specialisation for second year! Whether you’re here to read about my fantastic blogs or get a better understanding of Engineering Science,…Continue Reading Ben’s Lit Official Greetings (B.L.O.G.)
Alright, alright, alright. After my terribly vague EngSci intro, I thought I should follow with some super specific deets. That is, the Semester 1 review; highlighting BIOMENG 221, ENGSCI 233 and, of course, ENGSCI 211. Quick note: semester 2 so far has been in no way reflective of semester 1. BIOMENG 221: Mechanics of Engineered…Continue Reading Alright Alright Alright
Engineering Science. What is it? I suppose it’s just a glorified applied maths degree. So you’ve come to learn a little more? Well, I can’t say for sure you’ve come to the right place but I hope I could provide some insight, as an insider to the captivating (and mostly busy) life of an Engineering…Continue Reading What is EngSci?
We’re doing a Round Two of our favourite segment of these editorials, Tyler White Tries to Teach You Everything That He Learned in His Semester Two Classes (not including electives since you won’t necessarily do MECHENG 211 and I’m too lazy to teach that) ENGGEN 204: Managing Design and Communication I like to think of…Continue Reading This Is What I Learned In My Second Semester Engineering Science Classes
Engineering Science ≡ Frustration Frustration is a staple ingredient in the computer programming diet. Programming is a staple ingredient in the Engineering Science diet. Therefore, frustration is normal in the Engineering Science degree. I’ve already written about that. Engineering Science ≡ Failure You must have ambition and brains if you’re thinking of signing up for Engineering…Continue Reading Engineering Science ≡ Suffering (I’m being serious. This isn’t a joke)
It’s maths and coding, isn’t it? Yes, you are correct – we do “maths and coding” Engineering Science students study a lot of other subjects as well in Part Two. I’ve already talked about mechanics and materials. This is a big component that plays out across all years of the degree, although this involves maths…Continue Reading Busting Myths About Engineering Science
