At the time of writing, I am a Sophomore in my second semester. In this blog, I would detail my experience as a MEEN student, and I would provide tips and tricks that worked out for me. 

My Experience

Last Semester, I have taken a CAD course and an introductory course to Mechanical Engineering (MEEN 225). I did find it hard to keep up with deadlines, mainly due to the fact that I did not communicate with other students, and I haven’t clarified details about projects with the Professors themselves. Basically, I was trying to not get help when it was necessary. This made my MEEN courses much harder for me personally.

My tips

One of my main tips for MEEN is to take notes. You would say that you could memorize the content without the aid of notes, but that is false. Taking notes allows us to firstly improve managing content, and whilst managing our content, the content itselves tends to stick to our heads more firmly, in my experience. 

Additionally, if you become a team leader, it is very important that you lead your team to complete the necessary tasks within a deadline. The reason for this is that postponing team work till the deadline makes the environment very tough, and induces a lot of stress on yourself. Finally, when it comes to the content of the MEEN courses, getting a conceptual basis makes MEEN so much easier. It would be time consuming, but it is a good investment, in my opinion.
