From a glance, it seems like most Engineering Courses offered by UoM, Monash and RMIT all require basically the same pre-reqs of English, Physics and Maths Methods. However I've been attending the TSFX lecturers and everybody that I've met that would like to go into Engineering all seem to be doing Specialist Maths, now my question is how essential is Specialist Maths for each Engineering course? I know because Engineering is such a broad field, that there is some range in how dependent a course is on Specialist Maths, eg, i've heard an Electrical Engineer will use Specialist Maths a lot more than say an Environmental Engineer.
My personal dilemma is that I'm doing English, Methods, Physics, Chemistry and ITA but not Specialist, so i've been looking around the internet asto if it's possible to do Engineering without Specialist Maths, and it is possible but i'll be required to pickup a bridging program, are these bridging programs any good? For the people that are enrolled in an Engineering course, do you find the people that are doing a bridging program further behind the rest of the class? I'm really having trouble deciding if I should drop Chemistry or IT for Specialist and maybe i should attend the TSFX Specialist Maths lecturers
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, just holiday panicing
and also, i'm really sorry if this is in the wrong board, it was either this or the Specialist Maths one
