BSc/BE @ monash?

could you possibly be disadvantaged if you're doing a double degree? because you're doing half the amount of units compared to those doing single degree... you would have learnt less stuff than they did

But it takes longer overall, so you're not losing half of the total amount. The way they make it shorter is that one half of the double degree cross credits as electives to the other half. For example, in a Eng/Sci degree, Engineering units could count as Science electives, and Science electives could count as Eng electives. However, in most cases you will lose a bit of depth in that you often don't have as many electives to specialise in a field of study compared to a single degree student. But then again you have a whole other degree =]

Ahh so it would be like... lose a bit of indepth knowledge but get 2 bachelor of ____ things, win in the end

The way first year BE/BSc works is your science subjects also count as credit towards your eng degree. So instead of doing the eng maths subjects, you do the science version of it and that covers it. Also because I do 1st year chemistry I don't need to do a 2nd year chem eng subject next year because I've covered equivalent material. That being said I end up doing 1 or 2 less engineering subjects. For Science I can only do either 2 different majors or a double major and a minor in something else. The scieng degree ends up limiting some of your choice for the science bit, however to get your actual engineering degree, you have to do most of the subjects as that's set as part of the accreditted degree.

So umm assuming that i get into eng/sci
What would you recommend to major in? maths and chemistry? so that its like same stuff to learn as chem eng

[jimmy999]

Definitely major in maths if you're doing any form of eng. The other major doesn't really matter. Chem eng only involves a tiny bit of chem so if you want some chemistry then you'll do a chemistry major. They would be your best options

[98.40_for_sure]

Do you need to know physics beyond foundation for chem eng? as in would i need to do any physics units after first year foundation. assuming i dont major in it

Check out these pretty maps

[crappy]

lol I dont know where I'd be without those course maps

<3

[jimmy999]

You should definitely do foundation physics. However that's all you really need. The faculty let me drop physics and if you did the single eng degree, you would only need to have done foundation physics. What most chem eng students do is foundation physics, then replace second semester physics with usually a maths subject

What do you think of Eng/Commerce?
My understanding is that if you have a degree in comm, you can become manager and CEO of companies etc
thus your pay after a few years could increase substantially

You can become a manager and CEO of companies with just an Arts degree.

Ooh... i don't understand why people/info-booklets say that doing eng/comm is a powerful combo and has great synergy etc

Because they're advertising lol. CEOs have MBAs anyway, your undergrad wouldn't matter so much.

[98.40_for_sure]

So... engineering has absolutely nothing to do with commerce? lol LIARS
