Aiks......

For ME students, during sem 5 we have to take a design module that will last for 2 years (ie 1 4 MC module each for sem 5 and sem 6 each). What we need to do for the module is form a team of about 6-8 people and take up a design project.

Initially, I opted to be in Wei Loon and Ian's team but just about a week ago I realized the whole team was filled with SEP students. SEP students will have to skip sem 6 of this module because they wont be here, meaning I will be alone next sem. So I randomly found some other people without a group and wont be leaving for anywhere next sem. Everything was fine initially, the few of the people I found are friendly Singaporeans. We elected a leader and signed up for a random sponsored project (sponsored meaning we will be designing something for a company outside of NUS). Random because we were too late for the dateline for choosing projects.

Just yesterday, our group leader left our group for another group because he is going for NOC next sem and NOC/SEP/IA students are not allowed to take sponsored projects. So the ME management decided to randomly assign a leader for the group........ and the lucky me was suddenly elected...... Another bad thing was, our group mentor (each group will have a Prof guiding them on the project) was away on holiday and will only be back in September........ We are supposed to start discussing this week.... zzzzz

The few of us met up for a brief meeting..... just to realize all of us have no idea what the company really wants us to do. Which means we will probably have to head down to meet the company representative by ourselves without guidance to listen on what they want us to design....

Hopefully everything goes well....

p.s. The company we were assign to is APL co. ltd. An international shipping company. The sad thing is.... I don't think they need many engineers in their company for internship... Was hoping on giving the company a good impression so I can get an internship for the 3 months holiday. Sigh........
