>> These are collections of lab material I had opportunities to work with within courses including 2CJ4 (circuits & systems), 2EI4 (electronic devices & circuits), and 2DI4 (logic design).

2DI4, Lab 2

a physical version of a multiplexer, using NOT, AND, & OR gates.

inputs were shown through switches, outputs are shown through LEDs

this multiplexer has 4 inputs and 2 selects

2CJ4, Lab 1

building and using operational amplifiers (made by op amps)

sinewave was emitted through wave generator as input

non-inverting op amps built on breadboard, using oscilloscope probes to measure signals

2DI4, Lab 4

adders created by logic gates implemented into the programmable board, attached to the LCD number displays

input: attached switches
output: LCD display

bonus task: using the decimal point to represent negative sums

2CJ4, Lab 1

making a Schmitt trigger using op amps and resistors on the circuit board

tasked to find the threshold voltage when input voltage was set to saturation

signal measurements were taken by oscilloscopes, and input was generated by wave generator

2EI4, Project 1

made an AC to DC converter using these design steps: transformer (not included), rectifier (diodes), filter (capacitor), and regulator (not included).

schematic first tested in PSpice, signals produced and measured by an Analog Discovery 3. Data viewed on Waveforms.

2DX3, Lab 1

Introductory lab to the MSP432E401Y Microcontroller

Testing and building pull up/pull down resistors using microcontroller input and GROUND

Materials used: breadboard, LED, microcontroller, and button

>> My biggest highlight in undergrad so far is the McMaster Engineering Musical, of which I’m a band member!

(is there really a musical… IN ENG?! – The Odyssey, 2024)

>> So far I’ve been in two; The Odyssey in 2025, and in The Greater Than Gatsby in 2026. The theater kid in me has never been happier to continue pursuing musicals within my degree. <3

>> Something I found even more valuable is the connection I found with these people.. they’re all so talented??? And recognized???? AND MUSICALLY INCLINED???????? The Engineering program HAS THESE KIND OF PEOPLE AND THEY’VE ALL CONGREGATED HERE????????

>> I was inspired beyond recognition.

>> I’ve been drawing since I was small! And when I got my first digital tablet in 2020, I drew even more!!

my art from 2021 all the way to 2026! (I’m being very vulnerable here…)

>> Ever since starting university though, I didn’t draw as often as I liked.. so I joined a Graphics team on McMaster Design League to keep pursuing it in a way that mattered!

(so I could justify myself indulging teehee)

>> but just like every time, I found MORE than an design team; I FOUND FRIENDS!! IN THE SAME DEGREE!! Who ALL LOVE ART JUST LIKE MEEEE!!! IN THE HARDEST YEAR OF MY LIFE/DEGREE!! god knows what would’ve happened if I didn’t have this community.

I would gladly do an overnight shift and wake up at 6 am all over again for this team. (16 hour shifts ain’t got nothing on me)

again if you wanna see more corny, professional side of me, I also made a LinkedIn post about this

>> so now.. with my newfound (but never really newfound) love for this team, I’ve decided to be their lead for 2026-2027! I hope to make as much of an impact on the team as much as they have for me.

>> Believe it or not, I actually came to like this lovely institute. So much so that I volunteered for the Faculty of Engineering since May 2025!

>> this consists of the many open houses I’ve assisted to, such as the iconic May@MAC (which happens in, shocker, May), Fall Open Houses (pictured on the right), and even a provincial event; the Ontario University Fair in Toronto!

>> as an ambassador, I get to practice my yapping into professional yapping! I used this time to tell my stories and experiences as engineering undergrad to all who came to our booth, which was manned by the Engineers, the CompScis, the BTechs, and the iBiomeds.

>> if you would like to see more of my professional side, I made a LinkedIn post on this!

>> But even with the rush hours and the late shifts, I still consistently show up for these events. I even got a sparkly new certificate for my hourly dedication (I love shiny things HAHAH). But what makes it fulfilling for me is the amount of people I can reach and how many people I can help; at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.

eesh lookit me getting sappy eugrh gross yucky

>> Soooooo in my second year, I took it upon myself to contribute even more! I went to another open house in winter, representing the Electrical and Computer Engineering stream!!

>> and it was… a completely different ballfield. Instead of just insights, we now presented opportunities in our stream, including specific coursework and career prospects. And honestly, I was definitely underqualified for the job in my first time (I could not answer many questions…), but now as a third year, I aim to try again next year!!

>> please please please allow me to glaze for a moment…. the girl to my right has me in complete awe. She is actually the president of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Society this year, and boothing with her was so inspiring. She just knew everything and kept calm all the time. I hope to be like her one day.
