We will be on semester break from the first of October for two weeks back on Monday the fifteenth October 2012. We will have six weeks until the end of semester one. We would have completed 60 credits of the qualification with the remaining 60 credits to be completed during 2013 second semester.

Please feel free to use the facilities of Unitec during the semester break eg. internet, library etc. Steve will be on site during the semester break and Rob will be on site the second week.

During the semester break please finish off Industry Practice and Engineering Technology, also make sure you have downloaded the Electrical Engineering learning pack into your google drive and uploaded into your E Portfolio. Try and make a start on this last learning pack during your break this will make life easier when we meet up Monday 15 October.  

Have a good rest and have some fun during the break and stay out of trouble!
