Considering comp eng assumes MX1 at most unis (unsw for sure) then you would want your 2u mark as high as possible although you would still need a bridging course
I have had a huge look through the different subjects offered, between Bachelor of I.T and ICT engineering. and WOW there's a shitload more physics and mathematical modelling - compulsory in ICT engineering. There's more analytical shit then real computer work. I searched a few books as well, you're talking books of 800-1000pgs on maths and physics alone.
I.T on the other hand looks much more appealing to me (subject wise). Physics is not compulsory (offered as a choice). Not sure about maths, I think thats optional as well with the data statistics stream. Is pay is around the same between the two? I've also read that employers interchange ICT engineering as B.I.T (don't quote me on this). TBH, I've never really gotten into all that analytical mathematics and physics. It just feels like it doesn't suit me. and I honestly can't wait to finish 2unit maths. Plus I like applications of computers, i.e applying my knowledge to help people, not digging away at endless equations which very briefly relate to computers. (core topics of CE). where as I.T core topics are much more directly related to computers straight away. + I.T is 3 years where as ICT engineering is 5 years.
Also for any one who knows about Usyd Bachelor of Computer science and technologies degree or has done it, what's it like? would it be similar to a I.T degree at UTS? My view of it atm: It's not physics related and doesn't have as much maths as ICT engineering.
Please provide some good advice, thanks
