ALL SENIOR DESIGN PROJECTS

THE STAGES OF A SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT THAT DOESN'T WORK

Sun, 12 May 2013 13:16:24 -0400

When problem after problem arises and I feel so incompetent but trying to keep it together

Finally realizing that it’s just not going to work

Trying to get over it for the presentation

Afterwards

WHEN THE MOTOR IS WORKING

Sun, 12 May 2013 12:49:23 -0400

And then it started making this terrible sound and we were all like

And then when my group blew it out

THE DAYS LEADING UP TO MY FINAL SENIOR DESIGN PRESENTATION

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:22:00 -0400

When my group’s first part in the assembly broke and they asked if we ordered any spare parts

The night before when parts keep breaking, no matter what and everything your group assumed, they assumed wrong

When I need to do last-minute soldering but the iron has been so fucked up by all the use it’s just straight up not working

When other teams are starting to get on my nerves

When I have to deal with “that” team

Whenever I check my phone and see how little time I have left

All anyone feels who is still working on their project the night before

When something finally works

And my team is like

But at 3AM

When your team miraculously puts something together that can pass as working

After my 5th cup of coffee in 5 hours

How I feel during the final presentation

After pulling an all nighter, completing the final presentation and having someone ask a technical question

Once I’m finished with the final presentation

The night after it’s finished

The next 3 days

WHEN I TRY TO JUSTIFY HOW SHITTY MY SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT IS

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:21:33 -0400

WHEN I TRUST SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY IN A PROJECT

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:21:15 -0400

I’m like

If it doesn’t work

If it does work

WHEN THE ONE STRUGGLING GROUP IN SENIOR DESIGN PULLS THROUGH IN THE END

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:20:33 -0400

WHEN THAT UNFORSEEN COMPLICATION ARISES IN SENIOR DESIGN

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:13:04 -0400

WHEN SOMEONE IN MY GROUP IS BREATHING DOWN MY NECK EVERY 5 SECONDS

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:12:17 -0400

How I Respond:

What I’d like to do:

IN COMISERATION DURING THE TAIL END OF SENIOR DESIGN

Sun, 12 May 2013 00:12:12 -0400

For all those seniors out there…

WHEN YOU SEE YOU ARCH NEMESIS IN THE MACHINE SHOP

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:13:23 -0400

WHEN SOMEONE CATCHES ME STARING AT THEIR NOTES IN CLASS

LEARNING ABOUT MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

When you’re actually doing it/in a factory:

When a professor is describing it in class:

THAT POINT WHEN I REALIZE I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME ON NETFLIX THIS WEEKEND THAN ON DOING ACTUAL WORK

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:42:38 -0400

FRIDAYS

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:22:10 -0400

When I’m still trying to be productive on problem sets

When I decide it’s the evening

WHEN I ADMIT TO NEVER USING A COMMON TOOL BEFORE
