If you've read on uni guides. Pretty much most engineering courses at uni requires an assumed knowledge of physics or chem and some maths.If there is no assumed knowledge or pre reqs then yes you can as that means they teach everything from scratch. Though my guess is those subjects might give you a very slight advantage initially. Keep in mind hsc physics and chem have a lot of crap that gets cut out in uni (effect on society etc) and you don't use everything in ext 2 maths, so you wont have too much to learn from high school.
Don't know if this is true but someone said you can cover all the relevant parts of physics and chem in the first few weeks of uni.
That's why I said 'if there is no assumed knowledge...'If you've read on uni guides. Pretty much most engineering courses at uni requires an assumed knowledge of physics or chem and some maths.
He was asking about just flexible first year. IMO you only need a handful of concepts from HSC chem plus not stuffing around to be able to hack first year uni chem, same thing for physics.Yes you will, only doing 3unit maths is good enough for engineering.
HSC physics is absolutely useless, doesn't make a difference at all
For chemistry it depends on which type of engineering you're thinking of doing, if it's something like chemical, materials or environmental you will probably struggle but if you're thinking of something like electrical, mechanical or civil you'e alright
