Exams, exams and more exams.
End of module 3
To each module comes an end, and so does it for module 3. With courses as thermo dynamics 2, heat transfer and FEM it is arguably, the hardest module. Besides courses, this module includes the hardest projects that you will face in your bachelor's Mechanical Engineering. In module 3, you will design your own basic powerplant. Learning about material choices for high temperature/pressure applications, thermodynamic cycles, and the sustainability of a power plant. In module 7, you will create an anti-icing mechanism inside airplane wings. On high altitudes, the humidity of the air and the cold environment cause the wings of an airplane to freeze. To stop this from happening, smart heating systems are built into the wings. The students had to do calculations on the flow around the wings and the heat transmission in the wings.
All in all, it was a hard module, but hopefully our project and study nights helped you with your questions and you eventually passed all the exams.
A fresh new beginning
With a new module comes new challenges. Not only with courses but also with many different activities. Such as the Staf tournament, where Newton signed up with three amazing teams. This is a football competition between many study associations and student teams. The first matches have already been played on the same day. Newton 2 against Paradoks 2 at 18:00 and Newton 1 against Deddels at 19:30. The first match was fierce, creating lots of chances, but none would go in, and so that resulted in a loss. However the Second match, the Newton 1 team completely demolished Deddels with a final score of 5 to 1. If they continue this trend, it might be possible to reach the (semi) finals.
