Pleasant Surprise...

There is something I am really happy about after checking through last semester grades. Something really rather unexpected after checking out the models and the electronics of other groups on presentation day itself. And was expecting nothing more then a B+ for EE2001 Design Project.


Integration Stage (didn't take pictures at prototyping stage)

I remembered spending more a little more then half the semester thinking that the module was worth 4MCs when it is actually worth 6MCs! Which is also why I didn't really work hard on the module until like 2 weeks before CA1 (worth 40%) because I am busy with my other modules.

Well, when I saw the A on my result transcript, I was shocked beyond words! I even relogin to make sure I logged in correctly and there was no system glitch or my eyes are playing a tricks on me. A 6MC module with an A certainly helped me boost my CAP quite a bit. =)


Completed Model at Presentation Day

Personally I felt I deserved it after putting myself through many sleepless nights and numerous hours at the lab tinkering with my little electronic board and accessories. Burnt 1 PIC, 1 LCD screen and I guess the most impressive part of my circuit is that it uses 2 PICs which are able to "talk" to each other and I remembered adding so much programming to the 2 PICs that they ran out of memory!


The Team Of Electrical And Computer Engineers

Well I must say my team mates are a great bunch of responsible people who worked hard on the project and it has been a wonderful experience working with them. Good team members are hard to come by nowadays...

Of course I must also thank my dear HF for being extremely understanding and taking care of me when I am sick or overworked, and many a times being there to listen to my complains of how my circuit refuse to work and my frustrations. =)

Other pleasant surprises include an A- for IT1003 Information System Applications which I initially planned to S/U as I did not attend more then half the lectures and a B+ from EE3208 Embeded Computer System (100% Project) which I spend 4 sleepless nights with Philip to complete.

A truly tiring semester but, I am starting to like my course. =)
