Ok UNSW is spose to be like the best (or maybe just biggest) eng. faculty in all of S.E. Asia but all of its engineering degrees have like UAI ranges 75-85. Sydney has Aeronautical at 92 and aerospace at 99.3! What's the go ?

 

[jm1234567890]

UNSW has more places

Is USYD the only one that offers aerospace? Another question also, ive gotten mixed reviews about the course. Some say it is involved with aeroplanes, others say it is concerned with space vehicles and exploration. Which is it?

 

[CrashOveride]

Yes anyone doing the course please post up your thoughts

And is it purely because of the spaces jm1234567890 ? Would you be getting a more elite or advanced education at USYD ?

Mack, UNSW offers aerospace as well. Except also USYD seems to make a big difference between aero and aerospace whereas UNSW seems to group them together?

I hate it when people think that lower UAI means lower quality of education. UNSW has a low UAI cutoff because as jm said, there are lots of places. Reason why UNSW Engineering is considered the best is cause they've greatly expanded the engineering faculty so are able to take in lots more students.

lol, UNSW describes why they have lower cut off than sydney constantly.....

If you went to expo you would have heard they talk about it.

but they call it "another uni" not sydney, lol

 

[CrashOveride]

expo ? You mean the open day? Thats on later on this year. And do they say that themselcvs aswell, because they have more places?

Oh and they are only considered good because now they *have* more places? How does that make them better?

 

[jm1234567890]

they only run an expo every 4 years

they acctually say other uni kinda fudge their enrollment figures.

i'll give their example

usyd has lowest uai enrolled of 89
UNSW has lowest uai off 83

however, usyd has average uai of 92
while unsw has average uai of 95

something along those lines

 

[CrashOveride]

Is UNSW accreddited more like is an enginering degree from them more recognised than USYD?

Also u wudnt know how many places there are for aerospace at UNSW? Ok maybe i shjud just ask them on open day

 

[jm1234567890]

lol, to tell you the truth

they'll prolly just say it is good shit and suggest you put them down as first pref

open days are really just to get a feel for the uni.

I think it's the feeling that UNSW dedicates more funds towards engineering which equals better facilities and resources.

 

[CrashOveride]

I don't want to sound lame, but in aerospace do you actually do rocket science and maybe even build your own rocket for a personal project thing

It only talks about planes and aviation stuff. Also, I have read several times that job prospects in Australia are not so good. Perhaps only the Air Force or something of that nature.

On a final note for any UNSWers, why is teh UNSW eng. site so crap...i mean really? Look at USYD nice and professional.

 

[RCMasterAA]

Well if you're comparing http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/ and http://www.eng.usyd.edu.au/ I'd rather prefer the clean site design of UNSW. I'm not too keen on the pixelly font on the USyd page.
Oh yeah, some info for ya Crash, http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/news/2004/0623.htm

Hey thanks RCMasterAA!

I see you're doing a double degree, do you know of the possibility of doing a double degree with aerospace and science? I cannot recall seeing that listed in the UAC book.

 

[jm1234567890]

yeah, sydney obviously spent more money on webpage

Oh definitely you can do it.
If you want to, you can ring the Double Degree Co-ordinator in Engineering, Prof Mathews (http://www.mech.unsw.edu.au/staff/all_staff.html#Mathew) though I suggest you mail him and enquire about it.

Is it possible to combine the science/advanced maths with aerospace?
