    fuuuuuuuu, just spent 24 hours in labs at uni in the last 3 days doing projects. hmm perhaps it would be better to start projects maybe when they're set rather than 6 weeks later.

    I didnt go to last week's one, was working on an assignment and i missed the second half of the week before. However, judging by geoff's email, it doesn't seem like many people showed up anyway (since you only have to do 4 reflections). haha are you seeing the whinge thread on webct about all...

    Decibel Theory........... Grr.

    Off the top of my head, Gain = output voltage / input voltage ... or Vo/Vi This is in units of V/V though. For decibels (in electrical circuits) you'd want something like Gain = 20log(Vo/Vi)

    Pretty good place to work from what ive seen if you like a work/life balance. Some of the older guys there went through the grad program for training and certification, jumped to the private sector for a few years and came back when they were settling down. They don't pay as well as some...

    Yup depends on your manager, but generally they're really flexible. As long as you let your manager know what the go is (beforehand obviously), they're usually fine with it. I think during semester HR wants you to try to aim for 2 days a week, but won't be fussed if you do any less (i know some...

    haha, no love for matlab. did you do that matlab course in 2nd year waf? Back when software engineers had to do quite a bit of the electrical engineering course. I really don't know about the test. It's supposed to help determine where where you'd be most productive, which managers would suit...

    Which famous person(s) have you seen/met?

    I'm not really a big fan so i didn't talk to them much, but at band practice at a rehearsal studio yesterday, Grinspoon were rehearsing in the room next to us. I said "hey" to a roadie or one of the members or something in the hall outside.

    Funny, i hate the artsy subjects i've done (well...granted they're not arts in the true sense like you guys are doing, but i'm talking about management, research, readings, lots of essays/writing...plus i've only done like 3-4 of them), yet i've always done well in them. On the other hand, i've...

    Group work

    At one of my courses at usyd they were using google docs and glosser for a couple of our uni assignments (it was a trial run). Google docs shows you all the previous revisions, and glosser can see the amount of contribution made by each member and distributes the marks according to...

    hahaha oh nonono, design office is probably one of the more laid back sections you can get into. Then again it really depends on your manager and what section you get into. Some managers will get you to come along to on-site operations regulary, but some others will be too busy and you'll end up...

    afaik they're open to all engineering streams (that said, i don't think i've seen any chemical, aero or biomedical engineering interns). Besides, unless you're in the design office, they'll teach you everything you need to know (read: everything they want you to know), and even if you're in the...
