Same .. I'm going to go for 1R if I have time, but I must thank the labs and the quizzes a little for the initial marks.BIGTYMA said:

whats the link.
i have to sift through so many past papers because many of them contain electromagnetics which we arent doing.
the filenames are a real mess.

does anyone know if we have to pass the tests to pass the course? i vaguely remember something like this being mentioned at the start of the year, but i really hope i'm wrong.
hopefully we don't have to, because if not i've already passed the course
...which is good since i've been to like no part 2 lectures and haven't started studying for test 2 yet >_____>

Welcome to the second semester of UNSW fellow engineers, where we are in another chapter in the burning hell of Engineering for which we have banished ourselves to.
Another sunshiny dayyyy!!!
But hey BIGTYMAz & Omiums i bet youse r doin ENGG1811 and imma doin MATS1101 we got our backs covered no problems uh?

yeah i should get my civil crew back together again.Omium said:
MATS1101 kinda looks like hsc chem.
as for the exams.
MATH1131 was fucking gay.
PHYS1121 was incredibly easier than previous years
ENGG1811 was damn awesome and its my top mark out of all others.
passed all at least thank god.
i took care of PHYS1121 now ive got CVEN1300 (Engineering Mechanics) which is physics all over again ...
ChemEng is looking very tempting and im enrolled in the flexible program so yea.
but i looked at the MATH1231 and holy fuck what is this shit?
]Forbidden. said:
lol, Is it possiblle for somone with 0 Programming background to get a HD or a D for ENGG1811?
Speak to some career advisers about some other engineering disciplines you never know what you'll like.
Oh, i transferred into Eng/Sci
I cant believe im saying this but im pretty sure im gana do a PHYSICS major for Science :S (betray my loyal and beloved Chemistry)
Ive looked at Courses for Physics. They seem soo interesting.
Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Quantum mechanics, Electromagnetism
(I could turn into one of those geeky nerds)

I'm not sure.Omium said:
I did some Visual Basic in Year 10 Computing Studies good times.
If you don't bludge most of the time and even if you have never used Visual Basic or any other programming language you should get a Pass or Credit.
I never did SDD in the HSC and I got a Distinction.
oh man im in a dilemma.
do subjects/electives that are easy but boring or hard but fun?
physics looks so interesting i have to agree but i dont know ... womens will like me more if i say "oh im an engineer" rather than "oh im a physicist i study physics duh huh huh"
But Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Quantum mechanics, Electromagnetism look pretty awesome topics but I don't know when we will set up more nuclear reactors around Australia because out of the 4 I would be a Nuclear Physicist if I wanted to be a physicist.
but yeah i could be a geeky nerd one moment then the next moment i could be a disheveled, drunk and loud.
There's two right?Omium said:
Say Book #1 is Spreadsheets for Engineers.
Say Book #2: Excel Visual Basic Applications (Something...)
I found #1 pretty gay, you develop much of the skills in around lab 3.
If you follow only the lectures on the content based on book #1 you should be fine, if you want to maximise your marks then you get the textbook and have a nice read and the Excel component only lasts 3 - 4 weeks so that's gay and #1 becomes useless eventually.
#2 was slightly better than #1, you should get it because the VB content in ENGG1811 relies a fair bit on that book.
At the end of the course you won't need a textbook.
Much of the shit you learn is through the lectures and labs.
If you are extremely povo and you can't afford ~$80 then don't bother.
Well hey thanks buddy for condensing what I said. =\BIGTYMA said:
Trust me, Dont say your a plain "Physicist"Forbidden. said:
You need to exaggerate and say "Im a NUCLEAR PHYSICIST" or "Im an ASTROPHYSICIST" They sound pretty cool.
Do what Im doing 'Engineering / Science"Forbidden. said:
The best of both, Im doing Chemical Engineering, and Physics.
Also they allow you to do 27UOC. and each Physics subject is 3uoc so you can kinda overload without killing yourself.
(Note Engineering/Science is 5years, Only one year extra to get a physics degree is pretty cool)

lol i know, everyone loves nuclear physics (2 hot girls in a shower)Omium said:

and ill see if i can transfer to engineering/science when i receive an e-mail at the end of the year regarding internal transfer (coz im enrolled as flexible)
i dont feel like sticking around for +1 year, 4 years is annoying enough.
rite now im gonna do prelab for chemistry of aluminium
EDIT: i have complete workbooks for engg1811 last session if you like to check it out lol ... i got full marks for all labs
EDIT2: my materials lab tutor has so much lisps and grammatical errors in his speech in addition to his accent makes him hard to listen to

For MATS1101 I have:
MATS1101 / MATS9520 ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY & MATERIALS:
Needed anyway and costs $15.
Chemistry the Molecular Nature of Matter and Change 4e:
Electronic copy LOL (40MB).
SI Chemical Data 6E:
$35 and because it contains useful data I can look up straight away
ENGINEERING MATERIALS (VOL 1) 3E:
~$75, is it worth it?
How much did you rely on it?
my friends doing mats1101 this session for first time and didnt buy this and she says oohhhh not worth it!
oy but what did you use to help you complete your lab reports?
the sheet itself, textbook and internet?
but oy Omium you must be a pretty damn tough guy, I bet you named yourself after Osmium coz i saw in teh materials textbook that Osmium has a relatively huge density and modulus.
EDIT: OMG they changed lab 2 ... some stuff wont be similar but how you do it e.g. conditional formatting still applies.

I only spent $15 and that was for the course notes.Forbidden. said:
The online tutorials for MATS1101 are AWESOME.
Trust me you dont need anything else.

For materials lab reports, you can sometimes look up the real values (such as UTS of a material) and fudge your figures to comply.
For Chemistry, internet is good

for online tutorials you mean the WebCT ones?Omium said:
it must be
Home Page › Materials Strand › Activities › Tutorials
lol i cant think of anything else to go further than 'warmer' to find the origin of your username.
after browsing your ENGG1811 forums secretly i found your session 2 labs are quite different, so the content is different but the technique of completing them is the same (coz you involved dice and we involved class roll but conditional formatting still applies).
we had 'Boyton' ... someone in my lab class last session just coloured in the rows without conditional formatting and the tutor didnt realise and gave him full marks.
lol
edit: wow crosky lied. the materials book was 'useful' coz of the data they provide and my friend convinced me that you can find it easily on the internets, and here so do you.
internet - 2, textbook - 0
