Engineering, depending on which you do, uses a fair bit of mathematics.

yea if you were decent at 3u or got high band 5 or band 6 in 2u you should be fine.
prepare for loads of Calculus in 1st year (I'm 1st year Mechatronics at USYD) it's pretty hectic. 1 sem of Differential and 1 sem of Integral.
+statistics +linear algebra.
you will be introduced to concepts that 4u students have already seen but as far as people say "OMG they cover all of 4u in like 1 week. you'll be so screwed for math"
they can take a hike. don't worry too much about it. if you're having trouble at uni there are help services from the math department.
either way you should try to make sure that you at least score in the aforementioned range.
If (over the summer) you would like to get a feel for certain 1st year subjects without having to do the annoying and expensive bridging course feel free to leave me a message. Currently I tutor high school engineering studies but i'm happy to extend that to university engineering in the year(s) below me.
