UTS Faculty of Engineering Graduation Day

今天去参加了好友Manzar的毕业典礼。
很好奇,Faculty of Business,Faculty of Law, Faculty of Information Technology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Science 毕业的人数真是数也数不清, 眼睛都给我看花了。在Graduation Booklet翻了一页又一页。整整翻了好几页(double sided) 才把 Faculty of Business 翻完,IT 也是这样!!!
翻啊翻,翻啊翻, 终于翻到Faculty of Engineering了,足足把我呆了一下。由于毕业的人数不多,就那么半页纸,于是我开始数了起来。Guess what? 24 人毕业!!!!!!!
其实,仔细想一想,也没有什么大惊小怪的。Business (IT)一学期4门课不到10个小时, Engineering 4门课仅仅是上课时间超过30个小时。这仅仅是上课时间,自学时间很多课在10小时每门课左右,otherwise, you are welcome to come back next semester!
Graduation is just part of important stage in life, you can call it a milestone, or you can call it a new starting point. 哎,什么时候才是我的毕业典礼啊!不过你把它看得很重,他就很重,你把它看得很轻,它就很轻。静下心来,踏踏实实走好每一步吧。
 
行止无愧天地, 褒贬自有春秋!

前天 Advanced Digital Systems VHDL Quiz 1 终于告一段落。 好像一下就轻松了许多,找不到那种紧张的感觉了。还有很多assignments等着我去做,engineeirng 的project 和商科,IT 的都很不一样。It has huge and difficult theoretical knowledge as background. For example, there is no way to implement a digital circuit if you do not understand the decoder, mulilplexer...its ENGINEERING anyway..its ENGINEERING anyway, not business, social science, "information technology", where you can talk like anything, there is no absolute right or wrong answer...我让自己休息了一天,明天继续战斗。朋友都给我说要有张有驰,我好像就真的不会放松。一个朋友给了我一句很好的建议“学会见缝插针的自娱自乐”!
 
两周前去ARUP 面试实习的位置,都还没有结果。昨天实在是忍不住了,就给他们打了一个探听电话。被告知 We are still interviewing a number of candidates and hopefully we can come to a conclusion by the end of next week. 不过还好,没有说什么Thank you very much for your application. However, after carefully reviewing your application, you have bene unsuccessful at this stage. We appreciate your interest in our company and we wish you good luck for your career. 我现在看到Thank you, However, we appreciate and we wish 的邮件基本上直接往垃圾箱里丢。ARUP 是做building and consulting德,不是看到它规模有9000 多人的公司, 我才不。。。。:)话说早了哈!!!
昨天大一数学系的老师问我下学期可不可以继续作tutor, 我想有什么可不可以的, 当然可以啦!可以不备课啦!!!这学期的材料够用:)不错不错,还可以爽一次!
 
今天又收到系主任的邮件,把我吓一条。收到他的邮件一般都不是什么好事,试着打开看了之后才知道是UTS的Electrical Engineering(电气工程)明年将要面临课程重组。别人是资产重组,它是课程重组。有相当一部分课要删掉,加一些更有用的课近来。换言之,加一些更难,更technical的课近来,删掉那些废话课,写两篇论文,做点presentation就可以得高分的课。多点花几百个小时刚刚PASS的课!更刺激!!!我在想,我都要快毕业了,它课程重组和我有什么关系呢?往右面都,才知道Faculty of Engineering 下下周要在Mercure Hotel开个会,请4个current undergraduates 去讲讲他们关于课程重组的想法。真霉!这种出力不讨好的事情偏偏让我遇上!不过我一定要讲为什么电路分析那门课(Circuit Analysis)每学期70-80% 的人fail,读3-5 遍的人大有人在,最后被迫转系!The very fundamental reason is that they do not have the pre-requisite to do Circuit Analysis although they have passed so called pre-requisite subjects. The pre-requisite knowledge has not been met and students are not motivated..simply..if you are not extremely and crazily motivated, do not do the course because you are likely to come back next semester. 想到这,我真是庆幸我一次性PASS了,否则的话我可能都从UTS 24 楼上背降落伞下来了!现在想起来都后怕啊,那是一个星期仅在这门课上35个小时堆出来的!!!!!出国前,就听朋友说了engineering timetable is typically like that. 现在终于领教了:)
 
Gotta cook now and enjoy my beef mince and vegies!!!
 
Dear mum, you will have 1 more day and you can go home on Monday eventually to enjoy our beautiful birds, dogs and flowers!!!I know you are already feel a lot better although its still painful, but remember you are getting better each day.
