    Questioning the Engineering Stereotype

    I'm a bit late with this, but just wanted to confirm that practical stuff is generally done in groups and there's usually someone else willing to do it.

    Question About Pilot - Engineering Degree or Flight Experience?

    I'm doing Aeronautical Eng. at USYD, and I'd have to say go with the flight experience. That said, I have no idea about the process of applying for a cadetship. Just looking at the Qantas website for it, it seems that they have different ones depending on how much flight experience you've had...

    Travel concession application

    Anyone else get a runtime error when trying to apply for travel concession after pre-enrolling online? I pre-enrolled a couple of days ago and got through the pre-enrolment fine, clicked the registration link for travel concession and read through the declaration thing... Went to click "I...

    Semester 2 Chatter Thread (2008)

    Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread ^ Apparently something similar happened in the SciTech library last week. Fire alarm went off, librarians told everyone to leave through the front doors (the auto glass doors)... which locked themselves when the alarm went off. So people were standing there in...

    Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Fkin aero nerds. Who the hell starts an assignment the day it's been given, just so they'll get the most obvious topics...? Aero nerdburgers, that's who. Piss stick.

    Re: Results and Predictions (Sem 1 '08) Out of curiosity, does anyone know the reason for the subject order appearing on the (mailed) result notice? It doesn't appear to be alphabetical, by result, order released, or course code, and is barely grouped in subjects of similar category...

    Semester 2 Timetables

    The guy changing my timetable last semester wasn't very helpful... though there wasn't much that could be done about changing it. It was sweet compared to this semester's one.
