Is it feasible? Worthwhile (from an engineering employment point of view)? How would one go about achieving it?

I need a new goal is all.

Well... try keep in mind that people with Engineering degrees have to do a thesis, i.e. Honours...

so if you want a goal, you can aim to graduate with First Class Honours (WAM >75) or try go for the university medal (WAM > 85 and you've got substantially higher marks than anyone doing your degree)...

aiming for the university medal is essentially saying you'll get HD's for everything - and well, clearly its possible, otherwise it'd be mean to give people an unattainable goal :p

I know gman has a 93-95 WAM in his Electrical Engineering degree - and he didn't get the Uni Medal. Not sure if 85 is close enough though - I guess that will depend on which engineering discipline.

I see this increasing to 85ish once you get a general feel for uni exams.

You seem very capable
