Hi, i am currently doing Engineering course in UWA!! just came back from burswood... not to gamble thou.. just to watch the fantastic game of football! Man Utd 4-2 Everton!!! GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!!!

what year what sem what course

hwa so shiok! u dint ajak me la...! i watched it some blardy small pub!
btw which year r u in? what enginnerign worr??

Now the engineer's pay in Perth is really good due to the mining boom. What happens when the mining boom cease? Would the engineer suddenly get less pay?

I wonder how long will the mining boom last....

I have to agree, but for civil engineers they will be relatively safe, as in peace or war or mining boom people still need to have their houses built. Still, while the boom times last, make the full use it it!

Hello! I'm doing Biomed in UTAS, the Launceston campus.... BTW, UTAS is in Tassie... ya... the anak tiri Australia... haha.... anyone here from UTAS?

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED! We can already feel, see, taste and now TOUCH the treble trophies... hehe...

I only get to listen to the LIVE MATCH COMMENTATARY at manutd.com

hmm... i guess that's the NEXT best thing huh!

year 1 engineering

year 1 engineering, haven choose which engineering 2 go into yet

Hmm.... i think i will be doing civil, so i think it will be quite safe haha! cheers!

No other reason meh?

Thats true,no point going to places like MIT and be lazy there.

Ranking is not my main concern but the quality of teaching is more important.

Taz damn boring. i heard. how do you survive there?

ya. new nokia by 3.

any opinion ar?

I don't know what is the value of E65 but just get the 6288, it's free on the 29cap, or the k610.

Paying that extra monies per month for 2 years not worth it IMO.

Haha, i couldn't agree more!

hmmm.. in other words i am ur senior then,
UWA year 2 sem 1 engineering at ur service.

Wah so many doing of u guys doing engineering in UWA,im doing it in curtin

Because it IS true. Go8 universities get more funding because they:
a) have more students. They attract the state's top performers, etc.
b) do more credible/excellent research work than any other university. Don't fall for marketing ploys, but you can check the universities' web sites and the Australian media to see which universities' research work are usually highlighted and they are usually Go8 unis by no accident.
c) have better academic resources, international links, etc.
d) are more prestigious, much like the Ivy Leagues in the US. <- This is of no real concern.

Although rankings are insignificant, there is a difference between the graduates of the first-tier universities and their peers. For one, the work/assignments are generally tougher, hence giving their students a greater challenge. They also have more industry partners so graduates are able to stand out from the crowd. Teaching quality, however, is subjective. This is an area where students' comments are valuable. Many university lecturer's renumeration awards aren't based on their teaching performance, but their research work, hence they lack the dedication to teach.

There are also other significant fields of engineering besides civil and mining. Particularly in technology, there's always Computer, Software, Eletrical Engineering, Telecommunications, etc. which are playing an increasingly important role as we rely on the power of computing to perform our everyday tasks.

Well.... It depends what kinda person are you. If you like the great outdoors, mother nature, peace and tranquility, Tassie is definitely the place to be (in Australia). Its NOT THAT BAD here... Definitely a good place to study. GOOD UNIVERSITY I MUST PRAISE serious! No distractions as some people tell me. What do we do? Fishing... Badminton... Indoor soccer... Main PS...

NO SHOPPING MALL here in Launnie... cannot lepak... *sigh* But i agree with you. I'm from KL thus SOMETIMES I oso cannot tahan here! haha... If Hobart, boleh tahan lagi ler... but im in Launnie! KL IS STILL THE BEST!!

*i miss home*

Bubucaca! You studying in which Uni?

i dun like 6288. k610 still ok though.

hav to pay $10 for the e65.

ahhhh. cannot tahan d. feel like getting it!!

Haha... 6288 abit bulky ya... I like the k610 in white. It looks kinda good! go GET IT! haha anyway its up to you. if you prefer the e65 then just grab it lo haha!

Thanks for enlightening me but i dont really get the marketing ploys.Could you give an example or 2?Does it means that Go8 unis dont do marketing ploys?

It simply means don't fall for their marketing tactics. Lower tiers often claim they are prestigious, quality education etc. Don't listen to them. Do your own research.
