Engineering
Collin Li:
What do you mean? Engineers work with finite resources. It's not like science where if one guy discovers the theory behind plastics, everyone can know about it. With engineers, you form a team of experts who will plan a construction of an industrial scale plastics plant, for example. The knowledge about plastics is infinite, but the engineers are the guys that work in industry to make sure chemical plants, or construction fields are going to work under sound scientific principles.
edit
So what I'm saying is: engineers rarely work with unsolved problems, scientists can work on them. Engineers use the solutions to solved problems to apply them to day-to-day situations.

Awwk yepp makes sense now. Lol. Theres a shortage of engineers isn't there?

bad thing about RMIT is that the 3rd year is done in bundoora (yuk)

yeah, monash is voted 1 on those same uni survey things they do, where they also rank universities overall, but i guess its rather subjective. ppl say melbourne is too theory focused compared to monash, but i'm not sure. but at least 25+% of melbourne course is practical. dont know how much that is compared monashs though
squance:
sooo...is anyone here going to go to Melbourne Uni to do Engineerring??
