Have you read Part 2 – Integration Shockers?

By December 2016, we had covered three modules and seen results for the first module. When I had seen a score of 65% for Dynamics of Fluidic Energy Devices, I told myself that it would be my least score at Cranfield. We were now to write exams for Power Electronics and Machines. Scoring 87% in that module would have been impossible if not for the classmates I repeatedly disturbed to explain certain concepts that had hitherto seemed like Chinese shorthand. How I managed to score higher than my “tutors” remains a little mystery. Repeating this score for Risk and Reliability Engineering, then scoring 76% and 78% in two simulation-based modules gave me some comfort say I no come England to carry last!

Have you read Part 1 – In the Beginning?

The next Monday, 3 October 2016, Cranfield’s School of Water, Energy, Environment and Agrifood (SWEE) began its induction week. Then the following week, we had our first module, Dynamics of Fluidic Energy Devices.

I finally get to write this article to chronicle my journey through Cranfield University, the UK’s only postgraduate-only university. Writing this has been on my mind since I finished my thesis and awaited final results, but I felt the time was not right. Before you read on, please be aware that despite my best intentions, this might turn out to be a narcissistic post. If such would disgust you, please stop here and read about my mom or my dad.
