    EnergyAustralia Electrical Engineering Cadetship - worth it?

    hi there! in most cases, the fourth year thesis is not groundbreaking pioneering research - that's what a PHD is for. there is simply not enough to time in fourth year (bear in mind that as well as doing the thesis, you also have to do a number of subjects as well) to do anything in enough...

    questions about 64 bit windows xp

    Hi there nothing, they only released an xp professional 64 bit no i don't think so advantages: your available RAM won't max out at like 3.2gb or something, and if you are using 64 bit applications, these applications are supposedly faster disadvantages: hardly any applications atm are 64...

    General Engo Talk.

    Curry has a point, this thread reads like the msn chat log of a couple of school kids on a sugar high. you don't need to put a lawlz or a rofl or lol or anything else at the end of your post except a full stop. also it would be good if you actually said something semi-intelligent in your...

    Thermodynamics

    what a terrible thread. the people who i know in 2nd year who are doing thermodynamics as part of their Mech Eng and Chem Eng degrees absolutely hate it.

    Hey all you 3rd and 4th year aerospace or mechatronic ppl:

    hi there you're only in first year, so there is no hurry to make these kind of decisions. the subjects you will find the easiest are the ones you are most interested in, so other people's opinions on whether certain streams of engineering are easier/harder are pretty subjective and won't...

    Question about ENGG1000

    yeah don't worry about it - it happened to me last year, and the problem is that when you click auto timetable it puts you in a random one, so everyone ended up in the wrong stream - it all gets fixed up in the first week. good luck for first year!

    What is this ..."ARC"... you speak of???

    for those of us who are not made of money, i beg to differ. the only food on campus i consider good value are the $3 chicken and salad rolls up in the matthews pavilion, but everything else - especially the quad food court and clem's - is way overpriced for what it is however there are some...

    i don't understand car insurance...

    thanks for the replies!! i think i'll just get the CTP and try not to crash into anyone - its only an old magna worth $3000 - and i only earn a very average $13 per hour so every dollar counts....

    MATH1141 or MATH1131

    Last year I thought that I would want the challenge of MATH1141/1241, but I think first year would have been more enjoyable if I had just done the easier courses. As musk says, there is no advantage in doing Higher Maths - except perhaps if you are doing a maths major. For engineers, maths is...

    advantages of a double degree

    i personally don't think it is worth the extra year or two to do a double degree if you're just trying to impress employers. by all means go for a double degree if you have a particular desire to extend your knowledge in a particular area, but otherwise it's a waste of effort. you can always...

    BSc course

    whatever you do DON't look at the UAI cutoffs as measures of course difficulty or quality - they are merely indicative of demand versus the number of places available. UNSW and USyd are both excellent unis for science. go to both of their information days, find out a bit about the different...

    Electrical Engineering

    you don't need it. in lectures pen and paper is the best and there aren't many assignments in first year. have you ever tried to draw a circuit diagram on a computer? there are also plenty of computer labs around the uni, (although at unsw you will need to kick all the nerds off playing...

    Is UNSW Your First Preference?

    there is no way to determine a "good" uni. you will come across people who have had both positive and negative experiences from all the different unis. for me, i have really enjoyed UNSW, and although it is not as centrally located as Usyd or UTS, i have found the social life to be really good...
