Can someone pls post a typical first year engineering timetable, just to see what I am getting myself into. Would be good if it was a real one, thanks in advance

Here's mine. 29 hours uni time, including 4 hours of breaks (although it's 3 hours less on a few weeks). In total, it is as Omie Jay said: I get between 22-25 hours of classes.

Also, see the link Ostentatious posted, as it contains a lot of engineering (and other courses) timetables.

Isn't there any way to separate those tight classes?

how many hours per week would be for a combined engineering degree? still 22-25 hours cos of the extra year?
depends on what you're combining it with

also depends on what you are doing each sem, it varies

what tommykins said.

also, you'll still be doing 4 subjects per sem (unless you wanna overload), so it just depends on the class hours for each subject, eg commerce subjects might have less class hours (i wouldnt know though, look up the courses in the handbook).

oh ok thanks. so that could mean i potentially have less hours at uni than single engineering degree? (if commerce hours < engineering hours)
possibly. check the class hours, different courses have different hours. Some have 4hrs worth of lectures, 2hrs worth of labs, and 1hr worth of tutes per week, some have no labs and only lectures, depends on the course.

do you know if there is something like that for USYD as well?
dunno if usyd is as awesome as us :cool:

Just so you're aware, the timetable I posted is for a combined degree. As you can see, it doesn't really affect your times per week, as it all depends on what classes you actually do. I don't speak for experience (that timetable is for my first semester in university), but I'd assume that doing an Arts degree would mean classes with only 2-3 hours a week each or so (and correct me if I'm wrong), which would mean only about 15 hours per week.

You should make your friday Math tute on Wednesday morning and move the physics tute on friday.

You'll probably not end up going to physics lectures n shit.

But i guess that's only if theres other physics tutes available.

If you are doing engineerig (other than software), go with ENGG1811.

Hmmm not sure whether to pick ENGG1811 or COMP1911....any ideas?

but timetable atm is good, considering im only taking maths, phys, chem, computing :D
if you're doing mechatronic, or comp/eng, then go for comp1911 (it's harder than engg1811 and it involves C programming).

otherwise just go with engg1811 (vba i think, its easier), but if you like C programming and are good at it then there's no reason why u cant go with comp1911.

main thing is that comp1911 is ESSENTIAL with mechatronics and comp sci, i think comp sci students actually have to do comp1917..

also if you do electrical you HAVE to do either COMP1911 or COMP1917 (COMP1911 being the easier course)
