We’re in lockdown. Again. Back to 3am bedtimes and 12pm wake-ups. Back to having an endless amount of time, to do… absolutely nothing. Speaking of doing nothing, to procrastinate for my test in 2 days I thought I’d finally get to writing the next highly-anticipated instalment of my blogs. As promised, here’s a run-down of…Continue Reading Have a Break, Have a Kit-Kat: A Reflection on Semester 1
Hey lovely readers! This will be my last blog post of the year and also my last chance to convince you to specialise in MECHATRONICS engineering. I want to say a huge THANKS for reading my previous blog posts and for somehow not getting bored of me. 😊 I hope I have done a good…Continue Reading End of Part II MECHATRONICS – Final Blog Post from Vanessa
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
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)
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
“One of my team members hasn’t done anything yet!” “We have so many labs I can barely keep up!” These are both sentences I am yet to mutter. Is it because I magically had great teams and I love labs? Nope, it’s just because semester one of Computer systems is approx 95% theory. Semester one…Continue Reading Semester One – Solving Circuits in My Dimly Lit Room
HELLO again my fellow procrastinators, dog enthusiasts and the “generally confused with what to do with their lives” people. My third blog will be a summary of how I spent my holidays (tl;dr: see title of blog) and some helpful resources that will hopefully help you become *slightly* less confused with what to do with…Continue Reading Desperately Looking for Mechatronics Internships
Hi, I’m Angela, the Part II Computer Systems blogger for 2019! If you’re reading this with no clue about what computer systems engineering (CSE) is, you join the club of my parents, extended family, friends, and practically anyone who hasn’t done the degree (yes, I’ve had a lot of practice trying to explain to people…Continue Reading Life = ComputerSystems;
Wow! Semester one has gone by wayyyy quicker than I realised! Where did all the time go? Last year, it felt like uni dragged on for ages, and then this year is like being attacked by Canvas announcements and Piazza notifications NONSTOP. Honest life advice from Vanessa: second year is a HUGE step up from…Continue Reading Attacked by Canvas announcements and Piazza notifications – Mechatronics Semester One Summary
I’ve been sitting at my laptop for far too long trying to write a cool personal introduction but ended up looking at memes and pictures of cute dogs instead – whoops! Anyway, I’m Vanessa and here’s a big HELLO and welcome to my blog. 🙂 I study mechatronics and German and in my spare time…Continue Reading HELLO from Vanessa – Introduction
