draw draw draw

Everyday draw draw draw.Today just drawn a few drawing and realize my dimension is wrong so redrawed it again for the uncountable time.Always do the drawing sure got a lot of correction.Though that OK now this is my drawing perfect liao lor.Then talk with friends and realise i still got a mistake somewhere somehow.

I don't really like drawing thats why i take engineering.I took mechanical engineering simply because i don't like electronic thingy.Ended up with Engineering graphics which have alot of drawing.If you ask me to draw with computer i can accept it and learn but drawing with hand and tools only.Not that easy.Not that it is extremely hard it's just takes quite a huge chunk of my time to draw it.The problem starts when the thing i need to draw is hard to imagine and the radius is sometimes way too small.I hate it when the radius is less than 10mm.Somehow the compass is not steady on my hand when the radius is that small.Even when i miss 1mm it's hard to adjust it.

the worse experiment ever done

this week i had the worse experiment of all BET3. the experiment is an electronic experiment. we had to do some experiment about diode and integrated circuit. We have to verify the circuit and see whether the LED turn on or not. That experiment itself took us around 1 and a half hour to 2 hour. The reason sometimes the LED light is on and not on maybe is because the connection not tight or the breadboard really sucks.
By right we should have a complete circuit board for us to do this experiment. without that board we are having a really hard time. Stupid experiment overall.the second part of the experiment that we do was worse. We get all kind of waveform mainly due to background noise because breadboard will have background noise 1.

I sometime wonder why we do all those experiment. We haven;t even learned the theory and yet there we are doing the experiment happily with just everyone wanting to finish the experiment ASAP and get out of the lab. Experiment are important but the way it is conducted really is a problem. We didn't understand the experiment for the 1st place.
No matter what i will still face more experiment during my four year of degree program lor..

Computer and program Design

For the sake of test i write some guideline here for people who read my blog.. so here goes. I'll be basically writing about the programming part and some guidelines. and some notes too.

format string:
  1. %.5f presicion 5 decimal place
  2. %9.5f field width 9 character
  3. %e show in exponent form
logical operation :
  1. NOT !
  2. AND &&
  3. OR ||
some notes about equality and assignment operator:
== means comparing between the 2 value
= means assigning some value to the variable

Chapter 4
Terms
  1. Classical waterfall model-----RDCTDM--requirement, design, code, testing, documentation,maintainance
  2. Algorithm
  3. Pseudocode
  4. Flowchart
  5. Control structure in C
  • Sequence structure
  • Selection structure
  • Repetition structure

Selection structure
  1. If.. else
  • if(condition)statement true; else{ statement false}
  • using ternery operator||(condition? statement true:statement false)
2.Switch
  • switch(control expression){
case a: if the case is char need((((' '))))))
action; break means come out of loop
break;
.............
...............
.............
default:
action;
break;

}

notes..
getchar()>>>>>>>>> get 1 character from keyboard

Repetition structure

1.While

while(condition) in while there is no ; beside condition
{ body}
2. do..while
do{
statement;}
while(condition);
3. for
for(initialization; loop continuation test; counter)
{
use comma for many initialization
} initialize then test do the statement only the increase counter and check again

Function
usefull library function
  1. stdlib.h
  2. math.h
  3. ctype.h
  4. string.h
Function definition
return_data_type function function_name(parameter list)
{ **** can only return 1 item
declaration
statement
}

Function prototype
return-data-type function name(parameter-list);
  • required only when function definition comes after use in program
  • no need variable name
Function call
same as function prototype but supply with real parameter

2 way to call function
  1. call by reference
  2. call by value

supplementary exam gonna start charging???

Assalamualaikum, Da Jia Hao & Vanakkam,
Maybe, most of MMU citizens dont know this news yet. But let me just inform what I know, as an early preparations to everyone, especially the students. Well, again, group of people including me had been told during the previous "retreat program" by Prof Zaharin, the MMU President. He said this information can be disseminated to the public. But I just open the story today, hehe.
The President said, the Board of Directors (if I not mistaken) had already agreed to impose a charge to those who are taking supplementary examination. When ? Effective immediately. Means, who ever fail in any subject, for this trimester final examination, in general they are going to take supplementary examination for the next trimester. When they take it, means, they must pay. The method of payment, either before or after supplementary im not sure. Most probably, I do think its lump sum together with other fees on the same trimester as the supplementary examination.
How much the students have to pay ? As far as I know, it is 30 % of the fees per subject. For example, if the fee of "Engineering Mathematics 1" is RM 700, then 30 % means the student have to pay additional of RM 210, which will be creditted in their fees, if they take supplementary examination. Of course they can choose not to take it, but yet, they fail and have to retake the subject again. Retake means, pay the full fees again. Im sure that the MMU will make announcement about this soon.
Why does the MMU management decide this move ? If you check in any parts of the world, its quite rare or can be said as no universities other than MMU giving out second chance to the students, even thought they are private universities. Of course, MMU have its own rational. If we trace back the MMU history, no supplementary examination been given to those who fail the final examination when MMU was set up on 1997. Years later, only the system been introduced.
But, to the students, they should plan carefully their studies, so, they wont fail in any subject anymore. Thats the side effect. Students tends to study early & more serious in academic matters. Of course, the other effect is, students must pay more if they fail. Well, planning is important. Better late than never, even now is almost half of the trimester.
I wish all students: all the best in their studies & examinations !
See you later !
