Unless you really dislike the number 11 then go for it.

As Engineers in your respective fields, what are some of the tasks you guys do in your everyday work? Are most of the calculations done using computers?

Are project engineers standard civil engineers or is that a role graduate civil engineers climb up the ranks to become first?

I see, thanks for the clarification.

Thank you guys for your inputs!

Thanks for providing the insight! You mention that engineers don't tend to do well as PMs, so are project managers and civil engineers mutually exclusive careers? I bring this up since USyd offers a degree in "Bachelor of Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Project Management" which led me to believe...

I realise that there may not be many (if not any, lol) current project managers who'd be browsing a HSC forum, so maybe I'll redirect this question to Civil Engineers in general. What's your everyday work life like?

Hi there. So I've been considering pursuing a career as a civil engineer project manager. However, I'm not too sure on what that entails, i.e. what is everyday life like working as a project manager in the civil industry (including hours at work, duties, etc.)? What was your path to becoming a...

Do you think a Masters in Engineering would be more beneficial over a Masters in Project Management in terms of further study?

As title states, what are your thoughts on Civil/Project Management as a double-degree? Does it actually help later on in becoming a project manager? I'm assuming after the degree you'd need to be working as a regular civil engineer for a minimum of 5 years until you can actually become a...

Thanks for the info. In terms of picking electives, would picking an "easy subject" over something that may be more difficult hinder my overall knowledge within the Engineering field? Let's say for example I pick a subject as a WAM booster that is irrelevant to engineering instead of something...

I've been hearing about people choosing WAM booster subjects but how does that work? Say for example, my degree is in Engineering; how would I pick WAM boosters if there are certain subjects I must complete? Do first years even have the option to pick WAM boosters? Do people pick these later on...

Timetables got released yesterday and there's a trend in my timetable where my tutorials are conducted before my lectures. Is this normal? I thought tutorials are where you ask questions based from your lectures, so would it still work out if my tutorials are before lectures? Advice would be...

Don't bother with estimates from your Y11 marks. Things change in Y12.

I really enjoyed Economics (particularly Y12 Economics). If you follow current affairs on the Australian and global economy, you’ll enjoy Eco. It’s very content heavy and some topics you’ll dislike more than others but the best way to study for Eco is to keep up to date facts (RBA’s cash rate...

For Chemistry I'd recommend going over your basics from Y7-10 and if time permits, try and start Module 1 from Year 11 to get a head start. Studying for Mod 1 (based off memory) is mainly just memorisation/understanding of content. For Mod 2, you'll start working with mole calculations. You...

I'd say keep Chemistry. I severely disliked Chemistry back in Year 10 as I found it difficult at the time. However, I found it very enjoyable and quite rewarding during Y11/12 and by the end of my HSC, it was my second best subject. You'll have plenty of time to build up your knowledge over the...

For complexation reactions, do we memorise all the complex compounds that form? I'm unsure of which ones to remember.

Hi Jazz, had a few more questions. 1) Which precipitation titration methods should we definitely know (would Fajan's method be one we need to know)? 2) For the last dot point of Mod 8, could they expect us to remember a specific process and write a whole 8 marker response to it? That is, if...

Got it, thank you.
