What subjects would be recommended to take if I want to do engineering? (1 Viewer)

[Englite]

So far I have got

Advanced English
Mathematics Extension 1
Mathematics
Physics
Economics
Engineering Studies
SOR 1 unit

Should I change anything around or is that alright? I also plan to take 4U Mathematics in Year 12.

 

[raghusi]

those subjects are pretty good! But what sort of engineering do u wanna pursue? if you wanna go for biomedical, petroleum, chemical, or environmental eng- i would repace eng studies with chemistry. otherwise, this combo is pretty good!

Advanced English

Physics
Chemistry

And then another subject of your choice. I would take Bio but that might drive you insane with three sciences. Modern History or Economics might be better.

I want to get into electrical engineering.

 

[Shadowdude]

Engineering requires maths. Everything else, do what you want.

 

[Hermes1]

engineering. just do maffs 4u and physics and choose some other subjects u like.

 

[jswlms]

Maths and Physics are kinda mandatory.

 

[Alkanes]

Chem is also good, but not necessary.

Maths (4u), Physics, and advanced english (highly recommended that you do them!) then pick other subjects you enjoy.

So 4U is a must for engineering?

Most Engineering courses only have 3U as assumed knowledge, but it would be beneficial to have done 4U.

 

[maths lover]

is it mandatory to do physics. and if you dont is it hard to cope?

 

[Shadowdude]

Physics? Just do your maths if you want to do engineering. That's the only real prerequisite.

I thought Physics was required by many types of Engineering courses at UNSW?

It would be good, but you don't have to do it during high school. Because you can do bridging courses and you'll learn them during the duration of the course anyway, but doing it would be beneficial.

Definitely, physics i think is a must for engineering. Surprisingly the other day i was reading the unsw uni guide, and for chemical engineer they said your recommended knowledge is physics and maths ext 1.. No chem? How ironic?

It probably is a 'must' but they'll teach you from scratch anyway, I think. The maths is something that can't be taught easily from scratch though.

4u maths is the backbone to engineering. If you don't do 4u maths, then you're at loss. Cuz I heard from ppl that they finish complex numbers in the first week of engineering.
Pick 4u maths, physics and maybe engineering studies.
For other subjects, just choose whatever you like.

4u maths will definitely be an advantage
but it wouldn't matter if you're a quick learner and haven't done it (however most of these ppl choose to do MX2)

 

[Englite]

I really don't want to do a bridging course at UNI, waste of time and pointless. You would much rather do the course in Year 11 and Year 12 and get that knowledge.
