It's not as bad as it's made out to be, a large majority of people in my class found jobs as a chem engineer. Electrical engineer sounds like a good choice for you and hopefully renewables will have nice job prospects in a few years time, you can also work in petro/mining sites as an EE so that...

If you want to be able to go in to both mining and petroleum you could consider chemical engineering. Chemical engineers are able to apply to the same roles as petros (drilling and completions, reservoir, MIC, process) as well as being able to apply in mines as a metallurgist/process engineer...

Drongoski I did my degree at Newcastle, I believe they only had recommended courses going in to a degree meaning that they didn't particularly stop you from being accepted if you had the atar but not the recommended requirements. One thing that did help me was in the first lecture the subject...

Like others have said it is a competitive field although basically every degree at this point is, especially engineering degrees. It is also true that Australia doesn't have the manufacturing infrastructure like the US or other countries. The Largest employers of chemical engineers in Australia...

Yep you're essentially behind everyone else in your class from the start, it requires much more of an effort to pass than someone who did 2u or extension. You have to have a consistent study plan before the class starts. However if you are able to study enough to catch up and you're able to keep...

It's not too bad, if you study consistently enough to pass the first maths course you should be fine from there as everyone is basically on the same level from there on. There are a lot of tools uni will give you to succeed as it's not like they want you to fail, it's up to you to utilise them.

There isn't a whole lot of chemistry in chemical engineering honestly, you'll take intro chem in your first two semesters at uni then won't really use any of it until you take Mass transfer and Kinetics. Mass transfer rarely goes beyond basic reactions as it's more about designing evaporators...

For first semester Civil you'll most likely take maths, physics, a general intro to engineering and a surveying class. You should have no trouble getting through this stuff with ext 1 maths. Contrary to what you think you'll likely find the first few weeks or the whole semester fairly easy as...

Re: Is Engineering (Civil)/Science (Physics) a good idea? Anyone reading this thread that is thinking about engineering while only doing general don't listen to anyone here. Sure you will have to put in effort but it is entirely doable. University has so many resources at your disposal to help...

This thread makes me feel better. I was pretty drained after biology, honestly doubt I would get a raw mark of 60. Hated how the questions had parts of each module instead of one question being purely on one module. On the bright side the multiple choice was easy.

Is there a limit to how many courses you can apply for flexible entry? Or is it just 1?

Doesn't standard scale pretty much the same as advanced, the only real difference being the alignment?

Standard English Chemistry Biology IPT General maths Dat 86 atar Achievable? What sort of marks?

I want to do a BChemE at USYD which has a cutoff of 88. If I don't get 88 should I do a BSc at USYD or a BChemE at UNCLE? Would it be easier just transfering courses instead of unis? Would I be at a disadvantage if I did the BSc course? I have heard that the first year subjects are pretty...
