I just print out lecture slides/tutorials that I need.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 No I'm keen to go back to uni and start again and I have really cool courses to do this sem but I'm actually getting close to burning out.

Yeah ELEC1111 is a tough course. Probably harder than half the 2nd year courses I've done back at the time. If I were to do 1111 now however I would do really well. Are you planning to do engineering under either school of mech, elec or comp? If so, then take 1111.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 I'm really close to burning out before uni even starts. Halp

Just be patient and stay awake until 9 or 10 pm. Then fall asleep and fix up your sleeping pattern with a solid 8 to 9 hours. You have a good opportunity to do this right now.

I don't think I've ever seen a timetable with no back to back classes haha. You can put classes back to back if you wish. Generally classes start 5 mins after the hour and finish 5 mins before the hour so there is time for you to go from class to class.

Yeah electrical engineering is very broad and to help solve an energy crisis you would want to be proficient in communication with other engineers (you'll communicate with other engineers from electrical, mechanical and materials science mainly). Don't worry though, after a while you'll gain...

Economic reasons for AC: - More efficient over long distances - Less power stations are required as a result - AC power is more readily manipulated by transformers and rectifiers. You can use those points and base it off how the main structural differences allow AC satisfy these requirements...

I would say that this is probably one of the few cases where world rankings would indicate a particular uni to shift towards.

If you are familiar with parts of the mathematics extension 1 or mathematics extension 2 syllabus components in NSW, then you should be ok with consistent effort. If you are familiar with parts of the mathematics syllabus components in NSW, then you'll need to put in a lot of work in first year.

I would say that most employers will just note it down as a mechanical engineering degree with manufacturing electives predominantly. Unless someone tells employers otherwise, I don't think it would be taken as an extended program for mechanical engineering.

Dw I have friends in mech/eng who have taken ages to finish as well. There are others out there in a similar situation. The elec equivalent of MMAN3200 was pretty fast paced and there was way too much content to learn. I can imagine MMAN3200 is the same.

You should be fine in first year if you have an interest in digital systems. It's a good course and a good introduction into basic engineering design. The assignments are very beneficial. Only do it in first year if you are a BE ME student. All other students should do it in second year. First...

Depends on the uni but generally no. At UNSW I just type in the course code, course outline and semester into google (eg "FINS1613 course outline 2015 semester 1")

You can read previous semesters' course outlines to gauge what the course structure will be like. You could also ask past students who have done the course.

The idea of the question is good but the way you wrote out the question is horribly confusing.

Oh yeah one thing I forgot to mention from before which others have already iterated here. The main difference is that you are independent and have to make more of your own choices every day than before. This includes choices about your study. You have much more responsibility over yourself...

Well other than final exams (which I've kept the same mentality for uni as I did with high school), everything is a lot more different. Assignments end up being just as D94 said earlier. The type of stuff I have to do and what I have to learn is completely different. HSC is a 14 month...

Nah bikes are pretty cool. I might consider getting a bike licence one day and take up owning my own as a hobby in the future.

There's a 1.5 hr block that only occurs 3 weeks for the whole semester as that is a lab exam slot (well at least that occurred for semester 2 but I can imagine it also occurring for semester 1).
