Hi VN,

I'm gradually starting to realise I may have chosen the wrong degree (Commerce/Business Information Systems). I don't particularly like Commerce, and Business Information Systems is too applied to business for my liking. I don't really don't know what I want to do anymore. I've spent the last week or so trawling through course guides instead of studying, which doesn't help my chances of transferring ^^;

I'm currently considering a few other options, namely Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering/Sci (Computer Science), Engineering (Mechanical)/Sci (Computer Science). I've done a programming subject this semester, and it is by far my favourite subject. But reading through forums such as whirlpool seem to paint a picture of the Australian IT industry as a dead end, so I don't know whether or not it's a good idea...

Basically what I want to know is, is Engineering super hard/interesting? I didn't even consider Engineering when choosing my preferences because I suck at maths. I actually liked doing the calculations in physics though, but that could be because it was easy, but it may have because it was applied to more realistic situations, I don't know.

Thanks.

SMRANDMAZN!!!!!

You've made the right choice!!!!!!


Im doing mechatronics eng and Science, but Im dropping science at the end of the semester because I loathe FIT1002 lol.

Engineering isn't too maths intensive yet, the only eng unit Im doing now is Electrical Systems ( ENG1030) and by the looks of it, its just number plugging and playing around with a few complicated circuits. Right now, I cant say that its too interesting but it will get better once you start 2nd year.

Dunno if it interests you, but in 2nd year mechatronics you get to work on a group project and in later years you get to study units such as Intelligent Robotics, and Artificial Perception.


if you have any more questions just PM me

WAT?!
I understand your move to ditch bbis - but commerce too?! *SHOCKED*

Pretty sure IT skills are in pretty high demand? You might want to research it a bit. I have a friend who is doing a degree in programming, which doesn't involve maths or engineering, but that's at Swinburne and I don't know what the job opportunities are like.
