wtf? are you talking out of your arse or what?

anyway, i hope this isn't too late AustMostWntd but i figured i could give you a helpful reply seeing as my dad is an engineer and my best friend is doing Construction engineering @ UTS!! basically when my best friend was looking for similar advice about where to go, my father (who is Head Engineer in project management for the NSW Dep. of Public Works) advised him to definitely go to UTS. He said in his workplace they accept only UTS graduates as they are trained practically, whereas he has found the USYD graduates to be poor performers- he said the USYD coursework is much more theoretically based, whereas at UTS they have an approach which is all about how to be an engineer- as opposed to the abstract principles behind the engineering. my dad went to usyd himself but recommends against it. he said within the field, uts graduates are sought after because of their ability to get to work straight away - unlike usyd graudates who seem to need a bit more initial training.

but yeah, my best friend obviously chose UTS and loves it. there's also a camp for 1st yr engineering students so that makes it heaps easier to make friends!!! anyway good luck with your decision, and if youve got any more questions my dad might be able to help you out!!! Private message me if you need any more help.

you are comparing UTS to usyd....

it is true that usyd is less practical, however UTS would have similar degrees (in terms of practically) to UNSW and UOW.

wasnt the original post asking for a choice between uts and usyd?

For engineering I would prefer unsw or uts to usyd, the usyd engineering buildings look so pov....

But usyd engo is not entirely theoretical, 1st year get to build cars/planes and race/fly them, later years get to do all sorts of wierd and wonderful things

Yes, cars which UOW beat on a yearly basis

 

[Suvat]

Not if I'm driving!

 

[hatty]

the best place 2 go for engineering
is ADFA
gauranteed employment
plus all the shit that comes along with it

USyd, highest funding per capita to the Engo department.

Good choice, you get all the practical experience and when you come to a problem where you know absolutely no theory about it, I'm sure you'll be able to solve it.

 

[santaslayer]

I was referring to Raik's comment, which in terms of practicality, is quite within topic. How are you interpreting my above post?

UNSW: LARGEST Engo Department, LARGEST faculty at UNSW which recives the MOST funding, and CSE is the LARGEST School which recives the MOST funding.

 

[santaslayer]

Keypad was referring to per/capita, unless you can justify that too.

It's like saying the US has more buying power than Brunei.

No shit?

I'm just saying the people of Brunei are richer.

my bro recommended me to NOT go to uts if i wanna do engineering.... he also recommended me to not do engineering altogether, and if i ever want to do it, i should go to usyd. He is in his 5th year at uts doing an engineering course. He said that the management at uts has changed and is crappier. I went to uts for a women's engineering day and they turned me off engineering.

5th year? Is he doing a combined degree or does he just keep repeating?

 

[Raiks]

There's a girl in my MGMT206 HR Managment tutorial who is in her 9th year and is still doing her first degree because she's changed degrees multiple times, failed subjects, done part time every now and then...I have no idea how someone can do that...

 

[santaslayer]

Let's assume she started when she was 17 yrs old.

According to my amazing mathematical abilities, 17+9=26 --OMFG!

engineering at UTS takes longer because they do some diploma in professional practice as well i think...
