Engineering Biomimetics: The Crew

Hello!

We are a team of six engineering students from Taylor's University in Malaysia currently pursuing our Mechanical Engineering degree. One of the modules in our program entitled Engineering and Biomimetics headed by our lecturer Ms. Yong Leng Chuan requires us to adopt a pet (either an animal, an insect, or a plant), observe and write weekly logs regarding the adopted plant and thus develop an idea of a technology that mimics the structure or chemical processes involved in the pet's daily life cycle. Throughout the course of the module our team, Biomimikku (coined from 'Bio' and the playful Japanese version of 'Mimic') hopes that our weekly logging and reports are as beneficial to you, the reader, as it will be to us. We would like to remain as candid as possible in our writings and hope it will make you comfortable to share with us any comments or input that you may have in regards to our ongoing project.

Before we begin with introducing our very own adopted pet, we would first like to introduce ourselves.

Hello everyone! My name is Aisyah Hanis, but I prefer to be called Esah for short. I enjoy browsing through food pictures online, scaring myself silly with horror manga and reading posts on Reddit's r/nosleep.

I’m Cassandra Low. I’m studying Degree in Mechanical Engineering in Taylor’s University. I love travel as that is the only time where I free my mind and enjoy. Besides that, playing sports is a part of my life. It is a way of releasing stress that is accumulated from studies. Extreme activities do interest me as they are so exciting and it will be a once in a lifetime memories. In addition, I’m always interest in cars and planes.
