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?
(If you notice that this was posted late, it’s because I initially had a timer set for this post to air at Midnight, Sunday, but it never did and so here it is nearly 13 hours after I was meant to post this mess of my final blog as 2024’s Electrical Blogger) It’s been a…Continue Reading 6) What would you call a power failure? (The Final Pun of the Year!)
Welcome to the final CHEMMAT post for 2024! I sincerely hope you enjoyed our time together as much as I did. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on completing your first-year engineering classes! I know exams are just around the corner, so I would not celebrate too quickly yet, but I believe…Continue Reading A Final Goodbye!
LAST BLOG POST !!!!?!?!?!?!??! Tragic stuff. Heartbroken. Jk, I know you’ll survive without the beautiful literature and pure poetry of my blog posts. I should be revising for exams, but the motivation in me is zero. Anywho, here is a cool blog post instead. I think I’ve exhausted all my wisdom + experience on the…Continue Reading Review of Part II in Photos!!
I sense a huge concern of specialising in mechatronics is that it’ll be difficult to find a job. Maybe you’ve heard something along the lines of this: Why would a company hire a mechatronics graduate for a mechanical role if they could just hire a mechanical engineer? Huge misconception. I know a few older mechatronic…Continue Reading Mechatronics will NOT make you unemployable.
Hello hello! Are we excited for the summer? I sure am. I have reached that point in sem 2 where I have already exhaused all my energy throughout the year and motivation in me is zero. Can’t say I’ve been operating at peak productivity, but we are all human – think of us like an…Continue Reading Specialisation choice submissions have just opened! Still on the fence for mechatronics?
Hello everyone! I hope you are all looking after yourselves and finding time to do what you love and improve a little bit every day! Welcome to the penultimate Mechanical Engineering blog of 2024 (man, this year is going fast). Not long till exams now so I hope you are all looking to wrap up…Continue Reading Part II Semester 2 courses for Mechanical Engineering
