I study Mechanical Engineering at OUSL. For me, engineering begins with paying attention: to a system, to its parts, to what is known, and to what still needs to be tested.
An illustrative exercise in turning an imagined mechanism into clear diagrams. It is a drawing study—not a tested assembly, engineering specification or manufactured part.
As a first-year student, I’m building my understanding step by step. I’m drawn to the way mechanical systems combine motion, material, geometry and constraints, and to the value of communicating a technical idea clearly.
I like connecting coursework with practical curiosity: sketching a mechanism, thinking through how a part might be represented, and asking what evidence would be needed before making a confident claim.
This is an account of what I’m learning and how I try to approach it—not a claim to be a qualified engineer.
