First Year Engineering computing course (1 Viewer)

[nolimits]

Hey,
As someone with no experience with programming, will one subject be harder than the other?
ENGG1811 Computing for Engineers (6 UOC)
COMP1911 Computing 1A (6 UOC)
Thank you!

depends what engineering you're doing

COMP1911 is already an easier and slower paced version of COMP1917, so I think you definitely should be fine there!

You have a month left for learning, most programming learning can be done online!

Do, recommend to start off with Python (the language):

Have fun and goodluck!

I am a first year going into COMP1917 myself this year, hope I helped

I'll definitely try out this site. Thanks!

I am most likely doing flexible first year looking into civil or electrical.

ENG1811 is a joke, do 1911.

I am most likely doing flexible first year looking into civil or electrical.

civil: go with 1811
electrical: go with 1917

You can do well in COMP1917 with no previous programming experience.

If you do Electrical, then I really recommend you do 1917. If you do Civil, go with ENGG1811.

Consider the massive difference between Civil and Electrical and think about why you want to do either of them. Then try to make a decision early on because Civil and Electrical are vastly different and makes it harder to transfer between the two being so different.

I recommend for this semester, do MATH11X1, PHYS1131, ENGG1000, COMP191X if you are doing flexible first year. That way you can transfer into either for second semester.

Once you get to second semester, you'll be doing quite a few different courses altogether for each so I really recommend you make your decision before semester two commences.

Can someone explain the difference between Computing 1A and Computing 1.
Thank you!
