I'm starting to feel that I chose the wrong course...main reason? (reason 3 could be boring if you're not in mechanical engineering course)
1. after going through 4 semesters, with 3 big projects in 3 of the semesters, I failed all 3....
2. It seems like i'm not fated enough with all those machineries, especially parts...i'm trying to like them but obviously they dislike me...
3. scanned through the core units that I have to take next year in Third year, there is :
i) Mechanics of solids 2 <- this one still okay, since I'm doing pretty well in mechanics of solids 1 this sem.
ii) System dynamics and control, prerequisite : Engineering Dynamics <- in which i did really badly last sem. i'm terribly bad at dynamics >.>
iii) Fluid mechanics <- still okay, thermofluid this sem is not that hard.
iv) manufacturing Engineering (should be okay seeing the assumed knowledge course & prerequisite)
v) Engineering management <- sort of continuation from Professional engineering 1 (one of the 3 that i mentioned above). furthermore, there will be essays & reports writing!! i'm doomed....
vi) Mechanical design 2 (continuation from mechanical design 1, another one of the 3)....
vii) Materials 2 <- continuation from materials 1 (almost killed by it last sem, next year will have to see that 2-inch-thick-book again....)
viii) thermal engineering <- thermodynamics stuffs, if i were to say, this will be the easiest UoS (unit of study) in sem 2, even though it is really hard to begin with...
In short, it seems like i'll be half dead in the first sem, and completely screwed in the 2nd sem...at this rate, i'm not sure whether i can make it into honours program in the 4th year...don't even say trying to achieve first class....
Ahhhhh I really do regret now...I should have just taken Science, majoring in physics or maybe chemistry although i don't like chemistry as much...or maybe follow my bro to be a pharmacist...damn it, i really hate engineering now.
