Well it's a bit hard to tell without knowing your engineering stream but you should read:
Preliminary (Year 11):
Moving about, Communication, Electrical Energy in the home
HSC (Year 12):
Motors and generators, Ideas to implementation
Those topics should be enough to cover most of the...
First year CSE/Engineering students all have pretty much the same courses, so you'll be meeting all kinds of people in your lectures (and tutorials) from numerous disciplines (you'll even have non engineering students in your Maths/Comp/Elective lectures). So that will give you plenty of...
I'm assuming the only MX1 knowledge you'll really need is harder Calculus and integration (including substitution/reverse chain rule), Inverse functions, (harder) Trigonometric functions, Physical applications of calculus (probably won't need Kinematics/Projectile motion), Polynomials, Binomial...
I posted a thread on Whirlpool asking the same thing (forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2029324), there might be some informative responses there (none so far heh).
Well OP let me tell you about my (Advanced) English teacher. On the first day of Y12 in the very first lesson she said "You're in the bottom class for a reason. Don't even expect to get anything close to a Band 4 in this course". And she was right, I ended up ranking 82/82. I scored 52/100 in my...
I also got a call from the Dean of UoW for my Comp Sci course (it was my last choice, UNSW was first).
It was unexpected and I've never heard of it... regardless leaving Sydney and UNSW for UoW seems like a stretch eh.
I think you should check out the Computer Science course at UNSW - http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/information/future-students/undergraduate/programs/computer-science/
They offer specialization streams where you can specialize in a certain field (including Game Development) and you also cover the...
