Engineering at Macquarie (1 Viewer)

[vanush]

Macquarie has a bunch of new engy courses. WHY is there so little people doing engy at macq? why are these degrees so obscure? What's so terrible about them!

edit: so is there anyone doing a BEng at Macq?

Why do you want to get out of UNSW?

 

[trolloutaface]

macquarie has awesome arts/ humanities and health/science courses so it's ok.


are u coming to macq? :/

lol @ universities feeling the need to have one of 'each' type of faculty just so they can say they do, even if it sucks

yeah the reason why no one does engineering at macquarie is because the courses are stupid

Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Instrumentation and Control Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunications Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering in Wireless Engineering

 

[vanush]

Lol Im gDoing Photonics at UNSW

lol...they have all those courses and there's no electrical engineering. good one macq!

 

[jemsta]

yeah macquarie isnt really renowned for its engineering facilities

Why do you want to get out of UNSW?

UNSW is too far away. It takes me 1.5 hours to get there (Bus train bus). macq would take ~30 minutes (Just one bus).

 

[watatank]

yeah macquarie isnt really renowned for its engineering facilities

wireless engineering is an obscure branch of telecommunications engineering, telecommunications engineering is an obscure branch of electrical engineering, electronic, instrumentation and control are obscure branches of electrical as well. computer is a little different but it is definitely linked to electrical. if they have all the facilities to do those degrees why just not offer electrical on top? i just don't understand!

 

[Good_riceZ]

from all this damn trolling i think this should be moved to general or some shiznet like that.

and why is no one doing eng at macq? um...it doesnt really specialise in that, like everyone else is trying to say. plus i think it mightve been recently introduced

 

[jemsta]

haha co macquarie is ghey when it comes to engineering

ah vanush how long does uws take ya?

 

[AsyLum]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend going through MQ for its engineering if you're looking at getting a job off the bat, they're kinda new, so will probably need a few years/decades to tweak up.

 

[vanush]

I live in west pennant hills. Its near castle hill. UWS would probably 20-25 minutes.

go to UTS, should be 40 mins away

lol @ universities feeling the need to have one of 'each' type of faculty just so they can say they do, even if it sucks

a) There is no engineering faculty/department/divison/whatever,
b) they only made the BEng degree because they already had all the necessary units for it. It's not as if they've started up engineering with a whole new department, lecturers, buildings, resources, etc, or anything beyond the normal increase in university size (which has happened in every faculty),
c) all the 'new' engineering majors are still (and were) actually possible to get in a BSc major, usually with a slightly different name. And having any uni without science faculties is a bit ridiculous, don't you think?

And I really wouldn't say that engineering specifically is very weak at MQ - I'd say that a lot of science is, outside of the niches which seem to do well. Science at MQ seems to only be there to backup the degrees which need it: Psych, business, geos, paleontology, etc.

edit: So lol @ some bosers feeling the need to have one 'post' just so they can say that they do, even if it sucks.

Come at me, big daddy...

did you see that there's an information evening on engineering?

I hate you.

Come to Maq! You know people here!!
