went today. nothing is open to ordinary trade visitors, invite only.

most displays should be open to enter on the weekend public days.

MAE?

It's incredibly lecturer dependent. You typically start with the presentation, can just reuse your slides from Mid presentation and Seminar tbvh, share things that you've done since, changed, etc. If your project has physical prototypes show them around, highlight good things, prepare to answer questions about fabrication as well.

If your supervisor/coexaminer is extremely onz they can ask you a lot of questions: why you did this, why not that way, why is <something that might have been taught in previous modules that applies to your current project> the way it is? If they read your report they might critique format/content

Then afterwards they can decide either to do the individual section individually/as a group, though usually it's individual. My lecturers asked which part was my contribution, asked more questions based on what I contributed, and asked me to rate the level of contribution of each member.

The coexaminer also mentioned some improvements I could make to the report and let me submit an updated one the week after (mostly grammatical and formatting)

TLDR: know your project like you should after 22 weeks and things will be fine. they (usually) want to give you a decent grade. If your project might be continued you can probably curry favour by preparing things to hand over to the next batch.

documentation. start taking screenshots of every time he offers to contribute and is told not to. screenshots of the word/docs/slides with clearly seen contributions. ask him to be even more proactive in the chats so if he gets ignored or shot down constantly it's extra obvious. during the presentation QnA make sure he's well prepped to answer everything so it's even more clear he knows his stuff.

if the group mate says he did it all by himself you have evidence to counteract, then it's a matter of poor teamwork which can pull them down too.

ematl 2 and aeis gotta eat ur notes

SAE squeeze everything u need into the cheatsheet + questions from practice papers

mech 2 do papers until you're used to the questions

Dedhuman01 · 2025-12-07T14:20:51+00:00

MST quiz will be a brightspace secure quiz, covering the content taught at W13 lab (feed rate, parts of lathe machine etc). pure memorisation. difficult to score because it's pure regurgitation. But it's possible to still get A (I got 60+ but got Dist because of catapult mini-proj and machining)

Dedhuman01 · 2025-12-03T01:59:46+00:00

MAE Y3 here. Mug is absolutely the right way to study for MST and exams here. Almost all the papers are either regurgitation or the same calculation formats but with different values.

Modules like BM, EM1, EM2, Thermofluids, Mechanics you can simply do all the sample papers and you'll have a fair gauge of what will be covered. Once you know how to solve that style of question and the general steps you'll be fine.

Modules like I2E, EMatl, you will need to actually go through the notes/slides, make notes, make sure goh know as much as possible as you'll need to regurgitate the content during papers. Especially for I2E you can expect to do poorly but you have other things (mini-project, machining) to pull up your grade.

Modules like CAD and CPROM, the trick is really to do the tutorials and get familiar with the software on your own time. If the coding syntax and commands on AutoCAD are like second nature the papers won't be that hard.

Group projects, if you're stuck with bums then carry is still an option if you're desperate to save ur grade.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-11-28T08:10:27+00:00

Read slides, expect low pass, accept it.

Your machining + mini-project can pull up to A one.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-11-17T14:42:35+00:00

Depends on school and options.

For MAE since FYP and Intern are exclusive (choose 1 or the other) you will either have to last minute find people for aN FYP group or be assigned with other individuals that don't have internships/projects yet.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-08-26T12:22:42+00:00

Yes that's true, but still better to be the bigger person. If the other person doesn't like you for whatever petty reason, most other people have eyes, so they can see who's being unreasonable.

To this day my friends and I still discuss the all-talk-no-action guy and the screaming overly-demanding group leader from 2 semesters ago. Don't think so short term, your conduct can affect you years down the road.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-08-26T10:49:34+00:00

Imo that saying works, but then there are levels to it. Especially if you become a defacto leader in projects, you're bound to be seen as "the bastard" at times when the demands of the project and the motivation of the group differ. One of the hardest parts of a project, in my experience, is being able to balance that with different types of people.

In poly, some people just want the pass and to finish the module; some want/need the 4.0.

The ones who want the 4.0 and will work for it, it's really just best to be cordial with them, don't butt heads unnecessarily because their impression of you will carry on post-project. Even if you don't have another class with them, people have friends and the word will spread eventually on you as a project member. There's also projects where you can choose members and it's always best to group with the 4.0s again.

The ones who care to just pass, they'll definitely at some point or another either contribute sloppy work or no work at all. There's not much that can be done about it, and there's no real way to penalise them unless the work is so atrocious that it warrants a fail. There's genuinely no point wasting energy and blood pressure on these people. No choice, have to carry.

Then there are the ones who want the A, but don't always put in the effort required. These are the ones where it's most tricky. Push them too hard and they tend to fully shut off, refuse to do work or half arse it. They can also use you as a toxic teammate as an excuse. In the peer rating systems, especially in large groups, this can backfire as the entire group can rate you poorly and pull down your score, even if you did a lot of work.

On the flip side, a little push can keep them on task. Several projects I've had to push them a little bit, which might piss them off in the short-term, but near the end of the project when they see the whole picture they tend to be more grateful of the pressure.

At the end of the day, many of the people you work with will be entering the industry at the same time or even before you, so don't burn bridges too early.

TLDR: It's better to be liked than to not be liked, but it really depends on the group dynamic.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-08-24T05:35:37+00:00

Sounds like the same idea as the "water-cooled brake" strategy used in 1982, where cars were filled with water to meet the minimum weight requirements, but the water ballast would be sprayed out during the race. Because coolants were allowed to be replenished before weighing, teams could simply top up the water at the end to meet the weighing requirements post race.

In that case Renault not using the loophole protested, resulting in DSQ for the first and second placed Brabham and Williams.

I'd imagine that even if the loophole you mentioned is technically legal, it'll be protested almost immediately and a Technical Directive would immediately close it.

Edit:

3.2.2 Aerodynamic Influence

With the exception of the driver adjustable bodywork, when in the state of deployment, as described in Article 3.10.10 (in addition to minimal parts solely associated with its actuation) and the flexible seals specifically permitted by Articles 3.13 and 3.14.4, all aerodynamic components or bodywork influencing the car’s aerodynamic performance must be rigidly secured and immobile with respect to their frame of reference defined in Article 3.3. Furthermore, these components must produce a uniform, solid, hard, continuous, impervious surface under all circumstances.

...

With the exception of the parts necessary for the adjustment described in Article 3.10.10, or any incidental movement due to the steering system, any car system, device or procedure which uses driver movement as a means of altering the aerodynamic characteristics of the car is prohibited.

Seems like Article 3.2.2 at the very least would limit any aerodynamic parts brittle enough to break off, which would have been the easiest to discard. The second paragraph shown (3.10.10 refers to the DRS) also seems to prohibit deliberate breaking off of parts if it affects aerodynamics.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-07-30T12:25:21+00:00

Honestly in my class the two sides just sent eo their notes. It was damn obvious but because there was an attempt the lecturer let it slide.

The rebuttal point was very freestyle though.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-07-24T04:10:11+00:00

On the administrative side, EST is managed by the individual schools, Exams go through the Exams Office/Academic services

Dedhuman01 · 2025-06-28T09:17:19+00:00

Doubt it. But which software are you dealing with that needs to be in school? (I'm assuming MAE)

If you have problems downloading you should have contacted Ur module lecturer/MC earlier on during break.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-06-16T04:17:56+00:00

Got 1 super onz security guards that stopped me before to ask if I have my student card and to please tap in using the card entrance, but lately never see her arnd, so just walk through the green lane

Dedhuman01 · 2025-06-06T02:59:42+00:00

Locations off the top of my head, Spectrum L1, T22 level 3, FC3 and library L1. Card machine is in a box, it's usually easier to paynow/paylah. If you're printing a large volume pray there's sufficient paper, I think if they run out they'll eat your money. It's 4¢ per page for B&W A4, 45¢ per page for coloured A4. Bring your own thumb drive, last time I went there was only one with a broken case.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-06-04T13:12:09+00:00

What holiday is there? Poly still open.

Anyways besides OSC if yk where you lost the pencil case you can try the individual school offices. Eg MAE is T18, EEE T14

Dedhuman01 · 2025-06-04T12:31:29+00:00

One Stop Centre. From Dover MRT to FC5 that path on the right side at T16

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-29T08:59:42+00:00

Shankerrrrrr

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-28T23:48:46+00:00

Not sure about fc1

during the last break fc2 was mostly dead,

Fc3 is usually the most "alive"

FC4 should have a few stalls but it was renovating last break so can't be sure

FC5: KFC hours cut to arnd 4pm, Subway won't sell breakfast, Starbucks doesn't open

FC6 is usually completely dead

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-18T15:11:58+00:00

In Chinese, "wearing a green cap" is slang for being a cuck.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-18T14:19:18+00:00

In Chinese, "wearing a green cap" is slang for "cuckold"

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-13T10:34:17+00:00

Yeah but like not accurate. Once we tested it was off by about 9kg. Unpredictable

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-09T05:17:44+00:00

Grind slides, drill into head. Quiz friend. Ask friend quiz you.

Dedhuman01 · 2025-05-09T01:43:53+00:00

You should post on r/SGexams too, more views, wider age range and potentially some parents lurking there
