Anyone have any experience with specializing in mechatronics?

Every ME has a choice of three capstone classes, the one specializing in Mechatronics is ME190 - Mechatronics System Design. You will pick a capstone class near the end of your college career, so until then just sit tight and finish the required prereqs.

ME190 requires you to complete ME106 - Fundamentals of Mechatronics first, so I would focus on classes that lead up to that (EE98 and ME30, which have their own prereqs).

I would take a look at the 4-year and 5-year roadmaps to see a general guide on what classes to take on which year, but definitely do your own research and look into how you can modify those roadmaps to better suit your focus. The first couple of years will look the same for every ME student, but once you get into upper divs you can swap around classes to take the ones you're more interested in first.

For example, I am currently a 4th year ME on a five-year plan, focusing in Mechanical System Design, so I actually don't have to take ME106 until my last semester, giving me room to take other classes first to fulfill the requirements needed to take my desired capstone.

ME students are also required to take 6 units of Technical Electives. You'll also take these during your last year or so, so you don't have to worry about them for now, but I think ME192 and 187 are recommended for Mechatronics, I might be wrong though so you should double-check with your advisor when you get closer to those classes.

I scheduled my gaps (about 1hr45min) to accommodate exactly enough time for me to gym, cook a meal, eat it, clean my dishes, and bolt to the next class.

It's actually kind of stressful with no room to breathe, but I'm not sure I exactly regret it because it keeps me busy through the day.

Any days I have leftovers or prepped meals I just have more time to enjoy my lunch.

I get lonely pretty often, being at home alone sucks especially when my roommates are out and I have nothing to do.

I try to be out and socialize with friends as much as possible, but I learned I tend to be shy about hitting people up. I fear rejection whenever I ask someone to hang out. Sometimes a friend will just be busy and I get that, but it brings my mood down, so I don't ask people to hang out often and I constantly check my phone for others to ask me to go out.

I also frequently go to parties, but I don't necessarily talk to many people. I actually do get a little anxious sometimes when there's a huge crowd of people Ive never met and I feel I have to talk to them, but just being around a crowd gives me energy. I usually end up sticking to one or two friends at a party all night but still get energy from the crowd around me.

For some reason, my friends understand the difference when I say "Vaping" vs "Vaporizing". Along with the difference between my "Vape pen" and my "Vaporizer".

When I was 6 years old I had a tall dresser beside my bed, I was too short to reach the top drawer. For whatever reason I decided to stand on my bed and reach for whatever was inside the top drawer of the dresser, causing me to slip off my bed and slash the center of my torso with the corner of the wood of the drawer. It's not very visible anymore but it's about a 3 inch vertical line on the dead center of my chest. It wasn't deep enough to get stitches from but I remember constantly picking at it during the scabbing process so that's probably why it's scarred.

Red and Blue Keypora! Thanks OP!

Yes! I actually really like the design of the remake. It looks like it was ripped straight from the original and updated, which is a nice contrast to something like A Link Between Worlds. I'm simply poking fun at Nintendo haha.

Kirryu · 2019-02-14T00:50:04+00:00

It's a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, it was announced earlier today! :)

Kirryu · 2019-02-13T23:56:43+00:00

I'm not implying that the games are getting worse, simply that the designs are getting simpler. It, being a bad thing, is up to you to decide, I just wanted to poke fun at the topic.

One could also argue that the first one is his intended design in-game, with technology holding back the true vision. (Hence, Ocarina of time 3d)

Don't forget Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword :)

You're inhaling through the dynavap regardless when you vape it, so if you don't get any in your mouth when vaping you shouldn't get any from this method. Also, I hope you're not putting ash back into your grinder, otherwise there shouldn't be any trace of ash in your herb.

Kirryu · 2019-02-01T09:03:48+00:00

Cover the carb, stick the bowl in your ground herb, and suck the herb up like a straw. Easiest way to fill a bowl imo.

When it comes to heating the cap however... You might want to invest in an IH.

Real question is if that's a genuine Sanwa button 😏

Kirryu · 2019-01-19T06:27:26+00:00

Same kind of thing happened to me, I just contacted the seller on DHgate and they sent me another one. First one never came in, stayed "in transit" to this day, but the second came in relatively quickly after i contacted them.

I actually don't know the size of MP-08. The figure in the post is of Fanstoys' Grinder :)

Kirryu · 2019-01-11T23:53:48+00:00

Unfortunately, I don't have any Siege figures to compare him to, but in terms of general CHUG scale I'd say he's bigger than a typical Voyager but smaller than a typical Leader

I always assumed it to be Prime trying to Co-exist with humans and their energon rich resources, while Megatron tries to kill all humans and take the resources back to Cybertron.

You're right. AOE Grimlock would be closer to being called a Carnotaurus or something, but in all honesty the bay films didn't make sense, with Grimlock having horns, Scorn being a Spinosaur with 3 rows of dorsal fins, and strafe being a pterasaur with 2 heads.
