I plan on going into mechatronic engineering or mechanical engineering. im quite passionate about physics n engineering.

i spend quite a bit of my time tinkering with electronics, and dismantling stuff and building new stuff. does that count as an extracurricular activity?
if it does, should i write about it for my extracurricular activity essay?

or shld i write about my participation in the BEA Shell project.
(for those who dont know, its some environmental thing involving field work n research n surveys)

i lack extracurriculars

Personally, if I had to choose between those two, I would do the latter.

The second activity sounds more interesting, and would enlighten the admission people.
But if you really want to appeal as a mechanical/electrical engineer, I'd go with the first one and mention significant things you did or built or dismantled and put back together again.

the second option was a 1 month only thing.
