Yes, but UQ students get first preference, and some colleges won't allow QUT at all.

Guys this thread is a year and a half old. It's probably better to read through and post any questions in this one: http://community.boredofstudies.org/635/general-university-queensland/31817/residential-colleges-uni-queensland/9.html (In case the link doesn't work, the thread is called...

Seriously, all the colleges make it seem like it's really hard to get in. Pure bullshit, considering the amount of trash that gets through. Trust me, if you present well, you will be fine, and should get into any college. 85 TER is not bad at all either - don't go putting yourself down. I...

Start by drawing a free body diagram. You have one force 4900N down, point A is in equilibrium. Assuming the crane cable is held tightly and can't move, what force do you need to pull @ 35° to pull it at an angle of 10°?

Throughout the year, quota expires in 2 months, I think. The pricepoints are: 1GB - $10 2GB - $18 5GB - $40 Maybe there's a 3 or 4GB block, but I can't remember. The quota specials at the start of each semester doesn't expire until the end of semester. They are something like: 5GB - $10 10GB -...

Re: The Idiot's Guide to University (FAQ) Engineering is typically 20-25 contact hours a week plus a shitload of assignments. It's definitely one of the more intense programs.

Re: The Idiot's Guide to University (FAQ) A lot less than band 6s in the HSC, that's for sure. Solid study in swotvac (6 hours a day?) + all the days before exams got me 2 HDs and 2 Ds last semester in engineering. As for day to day study throughout semester, as long as you can do everything on...

You guys now get "sample answers" in the marking notes? I wish they did that for my HSC.

What?

Wow, only just noticed this feature. It doesn't notify me when I get one of these messages. Please PM instead next time to make sure I receive your question. Sorry that I missed this - probably way too late to help.

Think about how you can efficiently use every piece. If something adds weight, you want to get the most strength out of that member. Some simple balsa trusses or angled braces can add rigidity.

I replied: I've found having done Engineering Studies quite helpful at uni. At least for basic understanding of things like forces, vector drawings, types of materials and material selection, writing reports, etc. Sure, it's not required, but that's because it would be unreasonable to require a...

The exam is all from the HSC syllabus, ie. No braking systems and other explicit topics from prelim. That said, plenty of the knowledge from prelim is used again in HSC - stress/strain curves, properties of materials, bending moments, etc.

Remember the UAI is only used to get the "smartest" into the places available for a degree at a given university. Low or high UAI people still need to pass all their subjects and meet the requirements of the degree.

It's because ES just gives a broad concept of most things. Engineering at uni will focus a lot more on specific understanding within the courses that you do. Examples of subjects that will be offered as part of an engineering degree at most universities: • Materials • Physics • Chemistry •...

Depends which aspects you find boring. It could be you have an uninteresting teacher or you aren't seeing the applications/practical side of engineering, or it could be that engineering isn't for you. Try to think of which parts of engineering you like and which you don't. For example, if you...

Ah right, "[full stop]" means "maths [comma]".

4 unit HSC physics?

Probably not necessary, but I have found that Engineering Studies has helped a lot - if nothing else than to understand the basic concepts. You're probably better off getting tutoring if you need extra help than possibly delaying studies with a bridging course.

Main was Copeland. It is pretty brief though. Not nearly enough info.
