Have you checked the engineering course maps?

http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/current-students/download/0032-materials-2010.pdf


watch some recorded lectures and decide for yourself

http://echosystem.lib.monash.edu.au/recordings/95b92a5a-ec4d-4f88-b65f-2b203311b552

oh right, I guess you haven't enrolled yet. The student number isn't used to watch recorded lectures, you need an authcate account. Just wait till the servers are back up

crappy, from your experience, how intense is the eng degree in terms of workload and diffculty?

First year eng is actually really easy to do well in. Judging by your study scores in Physics and maths, you'll rape it so don't worry.

Oh and the workload isn't too bad, I managed to get nearly 2 days off in my timetable, and the only work I did was for the quizzes every 2 weeks that most units have. You get online quizzes and you have three attempts, these can just be done wit friends anyway.

For your materials unit in first year you do 3 assignments based on your prac work and three quizzes/

Give me your email address and Ill send you the assignments if you want.

Yeah, pretty much. The only real subject that is going to test you is ENG1040- dynamics, Im not even sure if you're doing it but its probably the hardest first year unit. The rest only require basic spesh knowledge. maybe ENG1060 computing will be new to you if you haven't done any programming before, but that's about it.

so is there any way for me to skip year 1 eng, because it looks like a waste of time

lol theres no way of you skipping first year. You need a certain number of credit points to actually graduate, so you have to do first year.
