opportunity program B Eng (1 Viewer)

[Jazz99]

Hey
i was just wondering if anyone is doing the opportunity program with BEng (mining) or any other engineering major. I'm in yr 12 and am confident of getting above 80, however i didn't do Math Ex1 or Physics or chem. I am doing Math 2 unit.
Just wondering how people in my situation went in engineering degrees with the help of the opportunity program. Does anyone think i should just not even attempt it??

thanks

I didn't do 3U/4U maths or chem (also didn't do bridging courses) and I'm passing.

The opportunity program (from what others have led me to believe, as I don't have first hand experience of it) is simply giving certain students smaller class sizes (only for maths) and a mentor.

hey that sounds alright then. i thought i would be certain to fail if i did that but i guess not.
i'd probably still take the opp program and bridgeing courses.

what's your impression of the mining engineering degree by the way? are there many students doing it?

to answer your question about maths....how is your two unit ability? if you are at least reasonably confident in it and good enough at it then that should be enough to get you through first year uni math, provided you put the work in.

i am confident with 2Umaths and i know i'd put the work in at uni. Nice to know i'm not totally screwed.
I just wanted to know what peoples impression of the opportunity program is like. It seems ideal for people like me and i just wanted to know what it involved and if it was a good program.
