For engineering courses, is it possible to transfer to UK after 1 or 2 years like 1+3 or 2+2? (I don't mean the student exchange program for 1 or 2 semesters)

yeah it's possible, but subjected to availability. And you'll be paying UK fees. And graduating there.

Hey, just wondering. Is it normal for us to get really really screwed up results for Uniaxial Stress and Strain?

yup..Can detect it, but can't always connect to it..if it connects then "obtaining IP adress" will appear on my phone, if it doesn't then it says disconnected

The one with the Demec gauge (or whatever it is called)?
If I recalled correctly, only the compound bar give bad result, the others are fairly good.
That Demec gauge is something pretty expensive and it lives up to its value.
If everything screws up, that means either your Excel screws up, or you did not analyse your results correctly.


Maybe your phone is reacting in a way that the server doesn't like? Contact IT Support for a long-term solution I think.

lol my energy and efficiency experiment is giving me more power output than input. The CRO memang kacau...

Hi,

Sorry for being a slowpoke but I'll just like to notify everyone about the University SA Forum: http://pelangi.nottingham.edu.my/forum/. Please spread the word to as many students as possible.

OMG you beat the Second Law of Thermodynamics! Must tell Dr Ng.


@tanjinjack

Yeah, that one. I got more reasonable results after multiplying the DEMEC values by 1000. Still quite off though. I feel the DEMEC gauge is a tad too sensitive to handle by hand?

I recalled that you should get a correcting factor (or something like that) that is close to 30, and that value is extracted from the slope of a graph of don't know what against what. Then, you use that correcting factor to find out how much force you actually applied etc.
Can't really recall too well.
Hope it helps though.

A lot of MechEng discussion..
Too bad no ChemEng.

lol ChemEng freshers' schedule so relax ler. They all busy become committee for clubs.

On the topic of busy schedules,

Can anyone give a preview of what's ahead in the Spring Semester for MechEng Yr1 and possibly during Yr2? This semester is pretty hectic in comparison with other engineering courses. I heard next sem will be as busy as now? Some say Yr2 will be even busier, some say more relax.

Year 1 Spring:
You'll need to design and fabricate your spring cart. (Not sure if they change it as it's a new course structure, but whatever they change into, you'll need to fabricate it.)
Another design project is car jack, which is relatively simpler if you were to ask me.
Few labs around here and there - Fluid's and maybe your EM1 - was told there was a lot of labs, but my time wasn't called EM1.

Year 2:
You'll have 4 design projects, 2 group 2 individual. 1 group project will involve fabrication.
Then few labs here and there.
That's about it I think. Well, design project will really eat up time be it you do material selection, Pro|E, business plan or whatever. It's just something that takes up your time.

Comparing Year 1 and Year 2, I would say Year 1 is somehow honeymoon, especially if you came from A-Level. Year 2 involves a lot of 'real' contents - psychometry, heat transfer in Thermo, Navier-Stoke, boundary layer, non-dimensional analysis in Fluid, more stresses and beam theories in Solid etc. Compared to Year 1's SFEE, 1st/2nd Law of Thermo, Mohr's Circle are a lot easier.

oou... This semester we have 7 labs (excluding the 4 workshop sessions).

Doing car jack poster at the moment. Lecturer showed some from last year.

Year 1 honeymoon ka... Rushing lab reports like crazy. Worst part is got scheduled 2 labs in 1 week, for 2 straight weeks! Maybe in terms of syllabus is still manageable la. But the scheduling still needs some getting used to, to stop the whining. Haha.

Its still ok for me ^^.... hopefully yr 2 more interesting...

any mac (probably affects linux too) user here? I am currently connecting to the internet via unmc wifi network, but the connection will break occasionally and would only back to normal after a few minutes (if i am lucky enough, can take like half an hour sometimes). Reported this to the IS department and still have not receive any words from them on this issue.... :/

Yep, I get that on Linux too.

does anyone know how to get rid of the bradford network?

^start-> control-panel-> programs and features-> bradford persistent agent-> uninstall -> ok/yes all the way.

i bet if you wish the reconnect to the school wifi network, it will prompt you to install bradford again.

is there a way then to not reinstall it but still be able to use wifi.

Maybe using tethering? Use your phone to connect (which doesn't require Bradford), and use your laptop to connect through your phone (your phone works as a modem).
Might sacrifice some speed, and also your phone battery though.
