anyone doing engineering (1 Viewer)

anyone doing engineering that didn't do physics in year 11 and 12. is physics essesntial in year 11 and 12 if i want to do chemical engineering? also, which field of engineering requires least physics?

hsc physics doesn't really help you at all in engineering, it is possible to learn it from scratch.

i'd assume chemical engineering would have the least amount of physics, but all fields of engineering do have in some way or form physics embedded in it.

if you struggle with physics or do not see yourself doing any physics at all, i'd advise you not to take up engineering.

i dont mind physics, i just didn't pick it in year 11 and its too late to change. i was wondering if i could manage without HSC physics

if that's the case then yes definitely.

k thanks

I didn't do HSC physics and managing.
The higher level maths you do at school the better off you will be first year.

thanks, well i was planning on doing ext2 math

You shouldn't have much trouble with first year eng then.

HSC Physics is useless.

is HSC chemistry useless as well? for chemical engineering that is

I have friends doing chem eng. They said HSC chemistry was usefull for about 3 weeks of the first year chemistry course.

so, do u know which uni is the best for this course

Well as far as I am aware there is only 2 uni's that offer chem eng in NSW which is newcastle and UNSW.
Newcastle is one of the biggest coal ports in the country and has heaps of minerals processing up in the hunter valley so I would say Newcastle.

For UNSW Chem helps a lot imo, half the course is based on HSC stuff.

If you live in Sydney Newcastle may be too much of a hastle, but UNSW is highly regarded in engineering.

im pretty sure there's a course in usyd as well, but its called engineering (chemical and biomolecular)
which uni is better in job prospects?

 

[kr73114]

does anyone know why there are very few unis that have chemical engineering?

I would say both have the same job prospects as it's only a pretty small field i.e not many graduates.
If you live in Sydney go to sydney.
Whatever is more convenient.

Sydney is also good but New South is usually regarded as the best engineering uni.

It shouldn't really affect your job prospects if you got USyd.

does that mean there are less job opportunities?

Not at all.
