ENG1010: Process systems analysis (Or Engineering profession but even though it's easy I don't like the sound of the content)
MAE2401: Aircraft structures 1
MAE3401: Aerodynamics II
MEC2401: Dynamics I
MEC2402: Engineering design I

Subjects from 3 different year levels... amazing that I don't have a clash

Wait what, why are they making you do that? First year elective slot that you might have missed in the double?

[JinXi]

Problem with that is that eng don't offer units for the summer semester, and I don't think the sci one I need to do are on the list that are offered by the sci faculty.

If I don't get to overload it gets ugly at the end, because I end up with one unit left to do in an extra semster, or to keep enough of a load to get centerlink, I need to spread it into two semesters... and take a whole extra year just because of physics -.- So lets hope I do get to overload.

I've overloaded twice already last year and didn't ask for permission. So long as WES allows you to overload they won't give a shit and they units will get credited.

Because, those jokers didn't give me credit for ENG1081- Physics for Engineering even though I've done first and second year physics in science. Apparently none of the unit are more than "80% similar content wise" cause we covered part of it in different units=.= Monash logic to making money

Lmao, what a joke!!

[b^3]

Btw, out of curiosity, which subject didn't you get credits for?

Everything was HD except the blasted commerce unit I had to do, which was a C... Such a stupid idea to make eng kids to do commerce, (well I see the reason, but still... we all hate it, if we wanted to do commerce we would have done the eng/commerce double degree -.-)

I'm an idiot and can't read, ignore this.

[DisaFear]

I think he meant the other credit

WTF, how is that fair. Probably shouldn't say that ENG1081 credited PHS1011 for me then.... Thats just bullshit really, the sci physics covers more apparently aswell! Gah thats just.. just... so stupid. Feel bad for you now man

That's the problem with them. I did PHS1080 instead of PHS 1011, then went straight to PHS1022. If I've done PHS1011 they would had granted me credit for PHS1081.

PHS1080 = ENG1080 and PHS1011= ENG1081... PHS1022 = Waste of time and space... and so is the rest of the physics units actually.

Oh wow, read that wrong.

Didn't get credited for the second semester physics PHS1022, which I didn't think I would get in the first place, but 'apparently' ENG1030 electrical systems + ENG1081 physics for engineering was equal to the two physics units, which when I got told that originally was surprised to the point that I went back on another day and asked again and got the same answer.

They shouldn't be equivalent, and I emailed the physics department to find out what to catch up on in case it did get credited. In the end it wasn't, which is fair really, so ENG1030 is a wasted unit... worse thing is its my equal highest score atm and it won't count towards anything!

[TrueTears]

yeah jinxi is right, it's pretty easy to beat monash's systems lol, as long as you can get the units up WES you don't need to ask for permission to overload, the units still count, my mate did it this sem for comm units.

also another funny thing is that he couldn't defer his exams anymore coz he kept deferred previous sems, so he just got someone else to hand in his deferment application but with his name on it and monash accepted it lmao

....and those are the physics units I still need to do....

What inter-faculty elective would you recommend doing then? I saw that you did principles of macroeconomics which is what I am planning to do in Sem2 but I might have second thoughts about it now. The rest of the units offered looks worse though..

from what i've seen, the best unit to take for you eng kids is macro... the rest of the comm units , eww...

Yes, the rest of the units looked worse. Most of my friends did the management one, and they thought it was easy, but yeh Idk. I kinda picked macro because it had all mc midsem and a mostly MC exam..... But yeh, I put effort into it up until the midsem, after that I kinda lost any minute interest I had, and didn't do any work.... and stop going to tutes... and well tried to learn 50% of the course outside the exam room in the monring... yeh don't do that.

Really if you put effort into it it should be fine... its just a matter of keeping yourself motivated enough to put the effort in. It wasn't hard really... I just didn't put the work in that I should have...

i would have thought that business stats would be easy for all the eng kids cause it's pretty much all excel stuff :\ hmm

yeah jinxi is right, it's pretty easy to beat monash's systems lol, as long as you can get the units up WES you don't need to ask for permission to overload, the units still count, my mate did it this sem for comm units.

has anyone tried enrolling in 6 units in a semester yet?

p.s. it is also possible to enrol in level 2 units in first year as well apparently, i know someone who did MTH1035 in 1st sem, then MTH2015 + MTH2021 in 2nd sem, which you're TECHNICALLY not allowed to do, cause you you're not meant to enrol in MTH2021 until 2nd year, but since he fulfilled all the pre-reqs and co-reqs, WES let him do it.
