Most of my uni friends are either school friends, people that I met through those school friends, or people from clubs that I've joined. Engineering people all seem to be super introverted/not interested. =P Seriously, you can make some of the best friends you'll make through clubs and...

Ahh, they might be shaking the course up a bit. The last text book pretty much covered PHYS1210 and PHYS1220 perfectly. Hell no. =P I managed to get a HD in ELEC1700 and a D in GENG1803 without either of those textbooks. Chances are that you'll feel like shooting yourself in the foot if you...

It should be the same book, but digital. The digital copy is shit, though. You can only access it after logging into the Mastering Physics website and it's browser based. Buying a physical copy is expensive (around $200), but I found it to be totally worth it.

If you're the only person going from your school, it should be a fresh start. In my case, around half of the year ended up getting accepted into the same university, so I haven't even made much of an attempt to meet new people, as I pretty much stepped into uni with so many established school...

This is a load of shit.

The only programming course that you have to do in first year is GENG1003, so an 8th of your total course loadings for first year, full time study. ELEC1700 makes you think like a programmer, sometimes, too. Mechatronics certainly has a greater number of programming courses that you have to...

The single greatest textbook that you can pick up for first year electrical engineering is 'Physics for Scientists and Engineers' by Giancoli, preferably the 4th edition. It's a set of three volumes and it covers both courses. You're given access to a digital copy of the book, however, I think...

Haha, very late response. Apologies for that. =P I'll list each of the first year courses and briefly describe their contents. Semester 1 ELEC1700 - Computer Engineering Introduces you to the foundations of the workings of computers. The course mainly applies mathematical logic to different...

If anyone is still thinking about it, I personally can't recommend electrical engineering here enough. It's a great program and maybe I'm just really lucky, but all of my lecturers and tutors have been excellent.

I'm jealous of you guys for having a significantly larger telecommunications and general electrical engineering component to the course. They even put logic gates on the formula sheet, now! That is rad as! Lifting devices was a shitty module, so I'm glad it got shafted. =P

Holy hell, it's Chriharr.

I may be the one person in New South Wales that actually voted for the Liberal Democratic Party with the intention of voting for the Liberal Democratic Party. Regardless of whether or not this was a mistake, I am quite pleased. =P

The two single things that I regret in regards to my HSC subject selections are picking Industrial Tech (Multimedia) instead of god damn anything else and dropping Ext. 1 Mathematics after prelim. Multimedia was a career interest that I had always had years into my life, and I really enjoyed...

Oh, cool! All of dose, with the addition of 2420 in semester 2, year 2. Only 9 days until the 1110 final... :read:
