Im doing mechanical engineering
im sick and tired of my groupmates who just dont want to put the effort and go out of their way to contribute to the group. yes they go to meetings but they expect me to feed them the knowledge needed so we can start the meeting. (conceptual phase required us to come up with ideas and techniques so we can have as much ideas as we can)
I do not want to create tension in the group so i always go with the group consensus. my god! what was i thinking! its too late now! our vehicle is butt ugly and my group members just want to blame the leader (typical scenario). I should have not listened to the consensus because it was fuelled by laziness, now its already week 8 and we are just saying sh*t in our design proposal (just so that we have something to say)
Im at a loss of what to do. I do not want to be bossy or something and at the sametime taking all the work for them.
whoever said engg1000 is easy, have you really done this course?
and the goal of this course? to teach us group work?! i do not think so! first of all companies screen people who they hire. highly likely people are there in the company because they are driven and determined and more responsible. I cant wait to finish this course and move on. I ranted about my experience to my senior engineering friend and he said that is just typical behavior of kids fresh from highschool. he assured me though that it will eventually get better in the senior years because the irresponsible students would just get out of engineering.
