Final Chapter as Chemical Engineering Undergraduate

Rereading the design report that I wrote while working on the new final year research report, this kind of thought comes to my mind, "Ah, I am finally a final year student. This is my final chapter as a Chemical Engineering Undergraduate student". Final semester comes around a lot quicker than I expected. One second I am a first-year student staying in the hostel and going through the orientation weeks, walking every day from the hostel to the class holding a thick textbook. The next second I am a final year student staying with my parents, commuting every morning, and now busy with final year projects. As I am excited to move on to the next phase of my life, I can't help being scared and doubting if I am competent enough to be an engineer.

The final year Research Project and Design project is like the pinnacle of chemical engineering undergraduate studies. You apply all you've learned for the past three years to engineer something and be graded for it. So many drops out because of this one course. Imagine after three years of study, and you suddenly drop out. Doesn't it feel like you've wasted your previous three years? Everyone in class is having a hard time dealing with these two projects. Everyone is being emotionally unstable and extra sensitive. But yea, let us embrace all the chaos that may come in our way.
