Today's Q+A: Engineering OPEN NOW!
Welcome! In this thread we’re going to have a few Engineering students, at various stages of various degrees at various universities, here to answer your questions. Obviously this is a huge area, and we can't cover literally every single type of engineering. That said, some of the people we've got answering questions today:

Jamon

Hey! I'm studying Electrical Engineering at UNSW as a Coop Scholar. I've just finished my third year of study and am off to a year of internships in 2018 (I've already got a summer internship under my belt as well). Really enjoying my degree and would be happy to answer any questions related to Electrical Engineering or UNSW in general - I've studied courses in a fair few faculties there ;D also happy to chat about scholarships/scholarship interviews, and I'll hazard an answer to questions about industry training too :)

Rui

I’m Rui, and I actually swapped out of doing business for my computer science degree. I’ve just started my new degree last semester (yes, semester 2) and am already enjoying what I’m learning. I’ve explored quite a few of the majors at UNSW Engineering and have many friends in various other faculties, so I know a little across the whole spectrum. So don’t feel discouraged from asking about something unrelated to computing/software. You can also ask me about transferring and engineering double degrees!

Jacky

I'm Jacky, and I've just finished my first year of a Bachelor of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney! Would be happy to answer any questions I can :)

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, what would you rate engineering out of 10?

Hmmm - I'd give it like an 8.5 or a 9. It's not all good times, definitely not easy and perhaps a little stressful, but I enjoy the challenge and I enjoy the content and its applications ;D

Brupton:
Is the workload for a bachelor of civil as much as people say it is? How does it compare to HSC? Are ext 1 math concepts completely essential in the course and are they used much?

I’ll let Jacky take most of this one, but I just want to remark that almost every degree is more work than the HSC by nature. One of the hundreds of things that make uni different to HSC is that you choose how much work you want to put into it, so you can play it out however you want to
