Monash Engineering 2011

[jayna]

Well i've done Physics and Chem and got 35+ in each. So does that classify me. D:
Oh well i dont really mind going to RMIT. It's just going to monash is like 5-10 minutes for me. haha lazy.

Just got to hope for the best

Hey jayna does that mean you will have to wait for middlw band offers to see if you got into monash as you dont have the clearly in? Or are those bonus points added for first round?

Told ya!

see you there

guys im seriously considering putting a irregular offer in and going rmit instead............

[Blakhitman]

With the unit selection, are there any recommendations for order combos or does it not matter what units we do first or second semester?

I was too because of distance...but I think I'll go with Monash.

Have a look at the pre/co-requisites and decide from that. For my engineering subjects (MAE1041, MAE1042) one has no requisites(1041) while the other(1042) has the first unit(1041) as a co-requisite - so you do the original one(1041) first.

Hope that isn't confusing

chap- if you have the chance to get to monash eng don't even contemplate rmit! if you feel that in the first couple of months monash isn't what you want you can transfer- easier to go from monash to rmit than the other way around...

ok thanks Sam,
which do you guys think is better to do if I am planning on doing civil, Electrical systems or Process systems analysis. I am not sure either are relevant, so which do you guys think are more interesting/easy?

[jimmy999]

Process systems analysis is really easy. It has 4 hour tutes, but those are optional and simple as well. You finish lecture material by week 7 and spend the next 5 weeks either doing revision or having extra long lunch breaks.

From what I've heard, Electrical systems is really hard. They've had to tone it down the last few years because too many people were failing it.

ok thanks, is this good for semester 1:
Foundation Maths
Foundation Chemistry
Process systems analysis
Engineering Structures


I could swap structures and systems analysis with materials and/or dynamics. I realise I have to do them all anyway but maybe some are better to do together?

[jimmy999]

Process systems is the first year chemical engineering unit which does utilise some basic chemistry. If I were you, I'd put process into second semester and replace it with materials. Materials and structures require less maths so you'll be okay with those.

Electrical systems ftw!

I did it last semester and the labs are really interesting because they are hands on and practical. During the last week, you get to make a thermometer which is quite fun. It's not that hard to score well in - you just gotta understand the concepts well and you should achieve a distinction pretty easily. Most of the questions from the exam are quite similar to the textbook questions but they normally they put a few tricky questions to differentiate the high-end students. I managed to pull a HD last semester and so did most of my mates.

[chap]

should I try and make the lectures before the labs/support classes or does it not really matter?
