Engineers in Predicaments
The content below details my adventures, misadventures and shenanigans while trying to find my place in the engineering profession.
Thoughts on certain developments in the engineering and STEM community in general, as well as scientific interpretations of weird scenarios will be shared as well.
Occasionally, I also learn a thing or two and will mention some of my findings while updating the portfolio. Please enjoy!

YSEALI STEM: The Debriefing That Never Came (Shwe’s Perspective)
As promised, a post about the workshop I was at during the end of February and beginning of March is here. This seems like a good place to leap back into STEMposting anyways, so here we go. Before I left for the workshop, I did not have much idea of what to expect...
Breaking the Inertia
