University Stories

True stories from a life in engineering — before the charts, there were the classes.

The Cheat Sheet

Electromagnetics II. Toughest course in EE. One allowed cheat sheet. A photocopy machine. And a professor who kept the result on his wall for years.

The Relay

Two campuses. Same course. Different exam times. A 25-minute bus ride. And a 15-minute window that seemed like the perfect engineering solution — until the results came back.

Course Correction

The computer design course was full. The booking cards were in the bin. Engineering logic said: if they can't refute it, it happened. No space? No problem.
