Title: engineering
Post by: giveup on November 15, 2011, 06:24:27 pm
Taken into consideration the lack of engineers in Australia, why are there not many people aspiring to engineering?

This is just a wild guess but perhaps it's because people don't perceive it to be as 'social' a career than say, commerce, not as money-making as health/law/banking whatever, maybe not enough girls (heh) and maybe too much maths.

Or maybe everyone is just misinformed.

You can NEVER have too much maths :).

I'm gonna summerise my experience in engineering: "Sup, heres an equation, I can try and explain how to derive it and I will but you won't understand it, ever. Just take it for granted, find all the necessary numbers in a question, which by the way is really fkn hard, and solve away!" Essentially engineering is gay... theres no other word for it.

There's a reason why engineering students get smashed all the time,

why is it that electrical and mechanical engineering have such good job satisfaction?

Wait are you for real? And this is coming from a student who got 44+ on both maths :S?

Well..if I study 24/7 for couple of weeks I might be able to understand everything but its uni, cramming a 12 week unit in couple of days is standard :P
