Civil is perhaps the easiest engineering at melbourne.
Civil systems major is just the enhancement of Engineering materials and Earth processes for Engineering, atleast when it comes to the difficulty of the subjects.
the major subjects in Civil systems are:
1. Fluid Mechanics: a very mathy subject but its easier than its Mechanical counter part (Thermodynamics and Fluid mechanics)
2. Engineering risk analysis: a really easy subject, perhaps the easiest level 3 engineering subject (based on what i have heard)
3. Structural Theory and Design: basically an enhancement of the statics component from Engineering mechanics
4. Systems Modelling: is the combination of Earth Processes for Engineering, Fluid and Eng Materials
compared to Electrical engineering, the maths in Civil engineering is much easier,, its basically just plugging in the equations, but the assignments are a total pain in the ass as opposed to electrical where you just do some questions
Civil is easier than other engineering majors but doing it is still not easy, so expect yourself to be working just as hard.
unlike electrical and mechanical though. cramming for exams can help in civil
