com & eng together (1 Viewer)

yes it is. the uai cutoff dropped from 95 to 90 over the last 2 yrs.
seng is about software project management and the development of large scale software, not just small programs ..... i think there's a thread floating around which explains the diff b/w seng, comp engg n compsci

 

[mojako]

mm i never undersood the diff. between those computer courses but im not really interested in doing comp degree (though im a comp geek.. but not for a degree coz my eyes are already in bad condition)
ill look for that floating thread just so i know

IMO i think geeks are better off doing seng, since comp sci stuffs can be learnt in your spare time (provided you are geeky) .. esp if the geek in question has always been good at geeky stuff and never had any experience on large scale developments (does open source count?)

then again, my opinion was only about geeks who fit my image of geeks

r u one of them?

i dont have an aspiration for software developer or manager... more into science for work and comp for hobbies

wth is ur soul ravine thing??? it keeps coming back to the original question / page

then you might want to consider seng, then combine with commerce (see the more commercial side of things, good to see things from diff perspective?).

looks like I caught your soul. make sure you answer things properly or you'll rot in hell .

 

[MuSaRuRWa]

hahaha haskell !!!

mojako, u can combine seng with science if thats what uare interested in and do any major under science

Can you give me some proofs that my soul has been taken? The thing is that I still feel that I have a full access to my soul

no it's not
from the beginning of this thread im not interested to do any comp degree
(i was askng about eng and com, with eng outside the computer field)

umm.. i dont think i get the fussion bit...

fusion is like creating energy from basically nothing...if i recall yr12 phys...it was like slamming particles together to create a mass of energy (e=mc^2)..

and well the whole rationale behind solar/photovoltaics is to find an enviro efficient solution for generating power...which right now aint very efficient and very costly...
if a stable fusion method arose....there mite be some use for photovoltaics but its main purpose is gone since its like fusion would create fuckloads of energy...alot more than solar cells...of course this hasnt been perfected or even close to....
watch spiderman 2....that orange globe was meant to represent a "fusion" experiment...although thru lotsa CGI..

well.. Im gonna have to check the logs whether your doppleganger's trapped .

anyways looks like I failed to foster interest in doing computing @ unsw . It's worth it, esp. if you get to higher comp 1A...

 

[mojako]

>> Im gonna have to check the logs whether your doppleganger's trapped <<
mm not sure what that word means...

>> anyways looks like I failed to foster interest in doing computing @ unsw <<
seems so...
well you can keep trying.. how is doing comp better than other courses? [im definitely going to unsw so dont worry about persuading me to go there]

 

[underthesun]

One of the subjects, higher computing 1A, is a course about everything you'll ever think of. Provided richard will still tutor there . Also, i guess it depends with people, but you said you're a comp geek..

btw, computing @ unsw gives you access to university labs (commerce labs sux0rs, library net sux0rs x2 for the queues), uses linux (windows XP @ comm lab = buggy), and gives you access to... QUAKE

</evades chops from second/third year CSE students who wants people to get off quake>

 

[mojako]

haha, is winxp really buggy??
i still love my windows...
and its better if u consider how many hardwares support that...
just say printers, etc...
btw does linux have a lot of kinda generic printer drivers that work on common printers (whose manufacturer doesn't make the official linux driver)?

quake? i only know quake the game and i never play that
edit: i read the thing inside the tag lol

 

[MuSaRuRWa]

u should do my course ... i got access to the comp labs, the commerce labs, the maths labs, the library comps and the biomed labs (thanx to a friend) such hard choices to make while choosing a lab

 

[mojako]

and your course is..?
oops... it's BE soft / BCom (actu) / PhD (exam bulshitting)...
actuarial is for analysing risks right?
mmm... i want to actually make sumthing
and i dont really like tedious maths problems
and software.... mm.. dont really like managing people
and exam bullshitting... mm... sounds quite interesting and thats prety much what I do in business studies... and i get good marks lol

 

[redslert]

yep i'm going to miss quake greatly this coming session

since i'm not doing any comp subjects, are they going to delete my account and delete all my files and emails? or are they just going to freeze the account so that when i pick a computer course again i will have everything there?

oooh i'm going to miss my print quota aswell

 

[MuSaRuRWa]

mojako, yes, actuarial is abt risk management, but it also involves the application of maths to finance, economics, insurance and superannuation

redslert, they dont delete ur files / emails. u'll have them the next time u do a comp subject. infact, since ur doing a comp sci degree, it doesnt matter if u dont do a comp subject, u still have access to ur acct, and very little print quota

 

[McLake]

And on that topic, for those of you who arn't doing MATH this term but did it last term your account stays open for you to use.

 

[mojako]

Should I apply for eng then comm, or comm then eng?

 

[gman03]

Eng then comm

 

[redslert]

Eng then comm

agree......
