This is a serious question.withoutaface said:Architects design the buildings to look pretty, civil engineers are there to say "no, fuck off, that won't work"
could u give me an example on the "artsy" side of archi?cyko said:hey buddy,
i was in the same situation as u last year
stuck between civil or architecture.
in the end i chose architecture, because i still dwell on this belief that i can broaden myself past an architect into project management and such.
i think it'll be harder the other way around, but despite what everyone says about architect, that it's all artsy fartsy, is true.
doing this course, i consider myself a freak nowdays, and so do the many other people whom walk by watching me lying on the concrete takign a picture of a pin joint. architecture won't have as much emphasis as civil would on maths and physics, but i feel that architects are required to know not only design, but every other bit of construction that exists.
my conclusion: architecture = a lil bit of everything in the construction industry. it just depends on what kind of architect you want to be. the environmentalist type, the project type, the cultural type, etc. I for one am aiming for the project type, because it's a fact, architects barely get anythign for the amount of work they need to do.
hope that helps.
Well down here in wollongong we see UNSW the best for engineering. But then again there is a skill shortage in engineering so it wouldnt matter where u did it as long as u get the degree...chunkstarzzz said:which university is best for civil engineering???? unsw usyd uts????? state reasons plssssssssss
I do ICT as IT is a separate and different course when compared mine lol, on the other hand about UNSW it has very good rep for engineering and also i know from friends that are engineers they reckon UNSW is good. Doesnt UNSW engineering faculty have the most facilities compared to other sydney unis like uts?Musk said:Don't listen to Hakz he does IT and has no knowledge for engineering
Do you wanna get into civil engineering for work or for research?
If you wanna go for the work (the big bucks) then UTS is the place to be
If you wanna go for the research (and work at uni) then UNSW is the place to be
Here are the reasons why UTS engineering is good for work.

Considering UTS doesnt have petorlium and mining engineering; that is very good
I am asking a question about engineering: doesnt UNSW have the biggest engineering faculty? If youse know so much answer it then.jb_nc said:god damn hakz stop posting you have no idea
Having an engineer in the family i know how its like and the fact that it is quiet hard. Especially ive been told that doing general maths then engineering is a total blast..Musk said:mans smart, hakz. stay away from engineering. thank god you do IT
I think u should study and forget about asking and wait till u finish the hsc and get the marks to get into engineering. U cant rely on other peoples thoughts and views about a course and say thats for me, the real thing is very different. Good luckchunkstarzzz said:hmmm... crap. even though the money is tempting, im the kind of guy who likes to think 'how can i improve something', or wot you would call a thinking man... so if i want to make more money and get ahead in industry uts is better and unsw is better for research huh? but it shoudnt matter all that much should it? also if i choose to go uts, then can i do all those postgrad stuffs (which im not that familiar) with in unsw? also is there no internship in unsw and only in uts? also what do u do in those communication topics? i mean do u learn how to make friends?lol. isnt it more effective to learn other challenging things related to engineering????? anyway u noe more than me in engineering musk, so help me out.
