I hope you like satellites, and satellites, and satellites.

I'm a bit late with this, but just wanted to confirm that practical stuff is generally done in groups and there's usually someone else willing to do it. For the aero course, subjects with memorable practical components are: 1st year - prof eng (as mentioned, build some device in a group for a...

I'm doing Aeronautical Eng. at USYD, and I'd have to say go with the flight experience. That said, I have no idea about the process of applying for a cadetship. Just looking at the Qantas website for it, it seems that they have different ones depending on how much flight experience you've had...

You misunderstand. There are actual, live, six legged giant bugs in the tunnel that feast on librarians and draw power from the acquisition of knowledge. I don't see the problem in letting them out to feast but apparently librarians are over-fond of their petty lives and just want to ruin the...

Lots of my friends are Indians, in my course and courses doing the same subjects. Most of them have lived in Australia for a few years now but there's at least one of them who's an international student. None of them have had any trouble with harassment at all. The area around USYD is fine...

Well hell, at least you weren't thinking kok o da monkey...

Well, as I enjoy publicly broadcasting conversations with myself... I resolved this issue simply by using another computer. All good, great, marvellous, fantastic!

Anyone else get a runtime error when trying to apply for travel concession after pre-enrolling online? I pre-enrolled a couple of days ago and got through the pre-enrolment fine, clicked the registration link for travel concession and read through the declaration thing... Went to click "I...

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread ^ Apparently something similar happened in the SciTech library last week. Fire alarm went off, librarians told everyone to leave through the front doors (the auto glass doors)... which locked themselves when the alarm went off. So people were standing there in...

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Heh. Sorry. I'm clearly jealous of those who are even attempting to be organised. :) Good luck with the assignment completion.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Fkin aero nerds. Who the hell starts an assignment the day it's been given, just so they'll get the most obvious topics...? Aero nerdburgers, that's who. Piss stick.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread ZOMG Dynamics (AMME1550)! Lecturer - stuck on fast forward. ("Oh, I must have been talking fast... We finished in half an hour.") Subject - assuming we know things that a large enough population of us simply do not. (It's like we missed a whole maths/physics...

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Stooopid uni making me get out of bed before 10am. Not liking the look of ending at 5pm on 4/5 days of the week, either. Will need caffeine.

@ doink - I'm going to have to play "spot the bos'er" in the engg1802 and amme1550 lectures. It will be like Where's Wally, without prior knowledge of Wally's distinctive attire.

Re: Results and Predictions (Sem 1 '08) Out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason for the subject order appearing on the (mailed) result notice? It doesn't appear to be alphabetical, by result, order released, or course code, and is barely grouped in subjects of similar category...
