...LabVIEW, and building adjustable drawing board, swep gave me a much better understanding ofwhat engineering looks like beyond the classroom
#swep2026#funaab#mechatronicsEngineering
Last Thursday, September 17, I defended my SWEP experience at FUNAAB!
40 days of moving between civil, electrical, mechanical, ABE and mechatronics activities, and now it's officially defended π
From welding and fabrication to concrete work, electrical systems, RFID...

@yfe_embedded@OgbulieChidinma@princess_yfe The second one was supposed to be... whatever is in your mindπ
Somehow it looks like a laundry machine chassis
Still experimenting, getting hands on the software makes things click more
One of the best things you can do for yourself as an undergraduate is to build a portfolio before graduation
Failure to do so could be catastrophic
I've seen this play out so many times
And it's part of the reason 'A' class students end up working for 'C' class students
Especially as an engineering student
You can have all the grades in the world, but if you don't have the track record (or portfolio) to back it up, then omo...
Nothing for you!
Good grades are not enough
Learn a skill
Build projects
Take on volunteer roles
Apply for internships
If you lock in and commit to this for a year (or less), your life can and will change for the better
Just ask @MiracleAgitan_ π
Now do what you have to
Excel academically
But make it a plan to do so with your career also
The best time to start was yesterday
The second best time is NOW! β¨
Do this and watch your life change
You've got this π
@yfe_embedded@OgbulieChidinma We also went through Ed modelling workflow, mistakes to avoid, and why excessive features can make a design unnecessarily complicated.
The hands-on session helped me out some of it into practice
Still getting more comfortable with fusion 360ππ
Class 5 of the @yfe_embedded workshop was about 3d modelling
We covered concepts like bodies, components, features, modifying and modelling tools like extrude, revolve, sweep, etc by @OgbulieChidinma
And a major takeaway was that the view you start modelling from matters...
