For the individual report, we were to answer questions on a case. I am amazed that I looked through my folder and realised that I didn’t even download all the lecture notes. Definitely pay attention in class for this one, as Prof Ravi’s explanations are often like the sun dispelling the fog. Go experience KMS overnight on vesak eve, test your resolve on the 3S1B. We received our results a while after and had to accept the allocation within a certain window as well as pay a deposit (if I remember correctly). It made sure we aren’t just learning inapplicable theories which biz school is so commonly criticised for. Groups would use tutorial time to discuss the project and took turns to present to the graduate student to receive feedback. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. Oh and European countries are very big on being cashless. Most students should be scoring similary for class part and tutorial presentation so the differentiating factors are the midterm and final exams.

Module Type: TE, Bid (1 pt) The scene was surprisingly quiet for the amount of activity. Make sure you have Boot camp in your Mac since solidworks is not compatible in Mac OS. I used “sounds” becuase as usual, I do not remember much of the content learnt. Grade Obtained: A+, ME2114 Mechanics of Materials II Many also cleared this easily on exchange/ summer (hanyang). I found the content of the module to be interesting despite eveyone calling it fluff. I treasured the semester to eat cheap Techno food and strove to avoid eating in biz. We were given a drawing of a wing cross section and asked to evaluate the max loading. The invigilator may or may not have read the whole of your report before the presentation.

Class format: Section 3h This would include how to do up the financials for a startup – the most important part of this module actually. Review: The tutorials were conducted by a few different MBA students and were free time for students to work on their projects. I spent the first sem preparing my materials to be tested and doing preliminary testings. The enthusiastic exchange students (who always sat first row) contributed to the lively learning environment. Be careful of careless mistakes with this one. Close. The first year is essentially common, with no critical decisions to be made.You will study twelve modules, six in each semester. Also sorry to add on but how extensively used was Solidworks? Those with a mentor tend not to meet their profs often, except during the presentations. I realised what the ceremony had done to my body the moment I got up. Assessment: 15% lab, 15% midterm, 70% finals Or is it time to let it go and consider my 7 mod semesters a sunk cost. Not going to be the most engaging lecturer you meet but the webcasts were neat and clear. Professor: Prof Natrajan. I realized the stupidity of this, here to practice and still comparing the self to others haiz. As Mechanical Engineering is perhaps the most wide ranging of engineering disciplines, it offers diverse career opportunities. We queued in columns and I joined the 4th column. Applied Mechanics/ Fluids & Thermo/ Manufacturing/ etc) and according to whether it fulfils requirements for specialization. The Middle. This is one true module which tests your critical thinking instead of regurgitation and last minute studying. Showed us how to use SolidWorks (if I recall correctly). Hi! In Sem 2, Europe universities operate on 2 half-semesters with a break (at least a week) in between for Easter. One of the more difficult topics right alongside Thermodynamics. I recall that by the time I completed my round, the queue for 3S1B had cleared. So while waiting for my actual 9th sem to start, I thought this would be a good title for a post just jotting down my thoughts. The final exams were long 2.5h for 35MCQ, not many students stayed till the end. One great thing about this module is that 15% of the marks came from just reading stories. The following paragraphs document of how my night at KMS went. i used to study aeronautical engineering in poly but chose to accept NUS's offer instead of NTU aerospace as i wanted to try a broader field of engineering. Review: Apply for NASA scholarship here as well. Most similar to EG1109. Part 2 was useful. Module Type: Arts GEM, bid Now this made for an interesting mix. For part 1, I think I’ll just talk about the selection process and a little on what is done in the first sem.

I initially wanted to take one more biz elective with this but maybe I’m glad I didn’t becuase it gave me the luxury of free time in engineering to just hang out and study with friends who are in similar plight. A matlab based tasked when no one in my group of 4 knew how to matlab. I liked that the exchange students asked about every little thing because there were parts I didn’t understand either and their question helped clarify these. Overall, an enjoyable module!

This is yet another module that has very bad name, always criticised for being useless – a module that tries to impart practical skills through theory. I attended the session which was taught by the profs (the profs will usually select 1 class to teach to understand our needs, so find out which sessions these are). The cost of exchange in Asia is the cheapest. Sorry, this post was deleted by the person who originally posted it. Prof Seeram R is among 13 highly cited researchers from NUS Engineering, and among 25 from NUS. I was stunned (could not even identify where the cross section is) but eventually managed to work my way through by discussing with classmates. It would be good to study this module carefully since some of the frameworks (beta, SML, net present value, future value, bond price calculation etc) sounds like they could be useful. Our group did well because our financials (done by one guy in the group) worked out to be around the right margins. Difficulty: 1/5 Insane. I took this module because there was no exam (I just wanted to experience the thrill of not taking exams and leaving in week 13). After 5 engineering modules last sem and another 5 in this sem, I was very glad to have a chillax module. This should have given me a good opportunity to clarify concepts but I found that tutors had difficulty addressing our questions. Despite all the help sheets I got from my friend and friend’s friends, and having a lawyer in training help me through my tutorials, still flunked the exam.

I don’t remember the exam being extremely challenging but I guess there were some tricky questions around. The lecturers are the same and the format is the same as ME2113. A rushed job but which served its purpose. I could follow most of the lecture content, but got lost towards week 11. Travelling around the continent is convenient as well. Class Format:  Sectional (3h) Maybe I’ll give it an interim rating. The Society of Mechanical Engineering (NUS SME) will organize a SEP talk where seniors who have gone on exchange will come down to share their experiences (i.e. Assessment: Class participation 15%, Individual Project 42.5% (Part 1), Business report and presentation 42.5% (Part 2) I couldn’t understand why prof rated some groups’ better and not others. Those in HK can visit places in China (shenzhen, shanghai, jiuzaigou etc) and fly home often if they so wish. Aeronautics to artificial intelligence, cars to clean energy. NUS Mechanical Engineering softwares. Prof Usa shared lots of personal stories, invited participation and responded with kindness to all comments.

There were easy and difficult parts along the path, I’m glad I pushed through in the tough parts and I appreciate the break during the walk.
