Civil Enginnering at either RMIT OR MELB??

[Ken]

Mr. Rob Skinner the Managing Director of Melbourne Water graduated from UoM with a civil engineering degree if that makes you feel better.

What!!  73 for civil at gippsland!!!

never knew it was that low  

Gippsland is fucken up woop-woop. That's why. LOL. I'll just lol at any person that travels to Gippsland from Melbourne everyday.

So Engineering - Civil is offered at Monash Clayton right? Goodguys post says that it isn't ?

http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/prospective/ug/discipline/civil.html

"BE in the field of Civil Engineering - 4years, Clayton campus
Double degrees with - Arts, Biomedical Science, Commerce, Law, Science"

This is a Bachelor of Engineering with a specialisation in Civil Engineering, as opposed to the "Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering", which is only offered at Gippsland (For those who can't get into Clayton =P)

Monash Engineering works like this:

-For engineering by itself, and engineering as a double degree (except with science), you do a common first year, and then specialise in your chosen area (eg civil) from second year onwards

- For the Eng/Sci double degree, you don't do the common first year, so you can choose your specialisation right from the start. I think this is done so that you have space to do a double major in science.

- There are also specialised engineering degrees which are completely separate to normal engineering. These are aerospace, environmental, mechatronics and some others I've forgotten.

So to do civil, you could do a straight engineering degree or a double degree (not science) and specialise in civil in second year, OR you could do Eng/Sci and start civil in first year.

I can't really comment on RMIT, but I know a few people doing engineering there and they seem to be moving through the content slower than we are at Monash (I'm 1st year doing Eng/Law).

But I would encourage you to come to Monash as the campus atmosphere is much better than at RMIT (excellent student societies and programs like Engineering Leadership Program and Formula SAE)

I have heard that civil engineering at RMIT is on a level par with Monash however for all the other types of engineering Monash is the best.

awwww man I really wish I had read this comment last year before I chose to do Biomedical Engineering @ RMIT!!!!

Another one of your necro bumps
