    Favourite 4U Topic

    Im tied between mechanics and conics. The theory in conics is relatively straight forward, as well as most of the questions I have seen from the Arnold Book. For mechanics, I like the foundational theory such as the equations of motion for resisted forces, circular motion, motion on a...

    Engineering Job Prospects?

    As an experienced engineer I can tell you maintaining good grades does not increase your chances of a job. Most employees will look at your experience rather than your marks, unless of course you go for a research position. Even then, research is a very small market, so don't bet your money on...

    What's the BEST 4 unit maths book?

    thats a matter of personal opinion because it depends on what mark you want or your career ambitions. For me as a maths teacher in training, I found the Cambridge Maths book to be the best.

    Engineering what topics to focus on for engineering

    biomed engineering would just need 3 unit maths. 4 unit is more for people who want to get into aerospace engineering in my opinion. Plus even if he does 3 unit, he'll still have to do 1st and 2 year mathematics at university as part of his engineering course

    57.30 atar - UWS or other better options for me?

    i'd accept the offer from UWS. I wouldn't worry about transferring unis, since most employees in Australia or any other western country are more interested in your experience rather than what uni you went to. However, if your really keen on working in China, Singapore or an Asian country, you...

    Paid vs Volunteer

    Volunteer jobs are good for building skills and experience, however you do need money to survive. I'd suggest focusing on getting a paid job first, then get a volunteer job afterwards.

    UTS vs USYD Engineering

    I graduated from a telecoms degree from UTS and would say the best parts of the degree was the one year mandatory work experience. However, I found the course structure to be quite poorly planned and supported, particularly for introductory to digital systems, circuit analysis and communication...

    Thoughts on telecommunications engineering

    I graduated with a degree in Telecommunications 7 years ago at UTS. I found the job market to be quite restricted and ended up changing altogether. If your very passionate about Telecommunications Engineering, I'd strongly suggest that you get some experience behind you to back up your academic...
