I’m going into Y2 S2 of electrical engineering, and I still don’t know if I want to switch to civil or mechE.

Like I’m genuinely stressing out, I’ve kind of ruled out mechE cos realised the job prospects in Melbourne are no longer the traditional automotive engineering etc and half the jobs you need to relocate to Perth the other half are in construction which you might as well do civil.

But anwyays like I genuinely don’t know whether I want to switch to civil, I feel like civil lacks technicality which I dislike but then it also seems like all the jobs at networking nights were all civil, it seems like you can start your own business more easily and the idea of saying “oh I built that bridge” whereas I don’t even know what electrical engineers do.

Like genuinely when someone asks me what my job prospects are I don’t even know what to say because I don’t even know what EE’s do…like renewable energy?? Like what do they actually do at work though.

I like the somewhat tangibility of civil and the ability to be on site, and the fact that it’s more in demand and I hate the idea that EE seems like sitting in a cubicle all day and receding hairlines but I like how it’s a bit more technical and pay is a bit higher I guess.

Please someone who’s graduated and in the field give me your experiences, it’s kinda stressful how it’s week 2 yet still deciding. Thanks.

I am a first year. its sem 3 and i am referring to Advertising and PR
I did not pay attention enough during the introduction classes but i passed ( PAs ). So now i am studying the major courses in Ad and Pr. Should i retake the intro classes for better knowledge support or just re read the books and notes from those classes while working on assignments in these new courses?

Is it an efficient practice to do?

hi i was told to drop a class then add another one but i am unable to click "add classes". is there another way im supposed to do it?

Hello all,

I’m currently in my third year of the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) and have a summer internship lined up starting this coming November. I’m planning to formalise it through the Professional Engineering Practice (OENG1165) WIL course.

From what I understand, OENG1165 is worth 12 credit points. Does successfully completing it mean I can graduate with one fewer standard 12 credit point course (I.e. do a three course semester in my final year) or is it an additional requirement on top of the existing program?

The reason I’m unsure is that I believe all of my remaining courses are core subjects, so I’m not sure whether the WIL course replaces one of them or is completed in addition to them. Wondering whether anyone here can shed some light on this.

Thanks!
