I'm fairly sure that that is not it. In the one I am thinking of they spend most of their time behind a desk, in a classroom. also, the web comic I'm thinking of is not as manga-like as the one you linked to. At the very least it is much more zoomed out. Thank you though! that was a very quick response!

It is a probably hand-drawn, although possibly with a wacom tablet webcomic that is in black and white (that is, shades of grey) about some people in an engineering class. I believe the panels may have gone from right to left. I think either most or at least the main character and the teacher/instructor/somethingofthatsort were female. There was one "arc" where the main character and her friends are put in a group (or were in the group for the entire class, not sure) and they were engineering something, with a reasonable deadline. I think at first they were making progress at a normal pace, but I am not sure about this. The teacher/instructor/somethingofthatsort announces that the deadline has been moved up so that there is not nearly enough time to expect it to be finished. They scramble to finish it, and succeed. The teacher person then says that they just moved it up because she did not think they would do any actual work until they were right against the deadline, and said she knew all engineering projects ended up late because of that. When she finds that they actually finished it, (and stayed up really late repeatedly to do so), she goes something like "oh, you finished? <explains why deadline was so short> I guess we can go on to the next project now." I believe it was manga like. there was also part where the characters/a character feel(s) that for the manga webcomic to be popular they need a fanservce episode, and get the characters to, well, not do a fanservice episode, but claim that they are doing one. (eg. their entire body besides their head is obscured by a computer and a desk) also, in one strip, the main character was supposed to do something, but instead did something else do to a misunderstanding, or was too tired too, or read some manga or something instead, or drew something.
anyway, mainly, manga webcomic about people(main character female) in an engineering class. teacher makes them work faster by giving them an unreasonable deadline, which they meet.
EDIT:they don't break the fourth fall at all other than the fanservice thingy, as far as i can remember.
