yeah… seems spanish and pics helps a lot! Easy to understand… In that case, I’m gonna make a power supply a little more beautiful =]

Neither is here(in Brazil), no rings, no awards. Just the certificate.

I’m graduating in something that I don’t know if exists this name, here it’s called “Mecatronica”.

It is a mix of mechanics and electronics.

I’ve found your blog in someplace that I don’t remember where. I saw all the projects you’ve done here and that inspired me, so I created a blog like yours

Too bad we don't seem to get something similar here (in the US).

Actually, according to Wikipedia there's something similar here. I wonder why my school didn't do them. We are ABET accredited.

Anyway, I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering though I work as a "Broadcast Engineer".

Thanks for yout comment Josh.

Engineers in Canada get this ring when graduating. We get it in a ceremony named “The calling of an Engineer” which is similar to the physicians’ Hippocratic Oath.

Thomaz, I’m glad to hear you’re starting your own blog. Congratulations.

I’m very happy to see my blog inspired you. I’m looking forward to have a look at your projects, although I don’t know Portuguese at all (but at least it resembles Spanish a bit and I can always watch the pictures).

That’s pretty cool.

Is this an award for graduating with some sort of engineering degree of do you have to go through some extra steps?
