Is there any current students taking the Bachelor of Technology in Curtin? I'm currently a diploma holder, i'll be finishing my study at end of june and i was thinking of joining Curtin for second year degree, I was wondering is that possible, and when will be the intake for the second year? Anyone knows?

Yes, I am currently taking BTech, 2nd year. I am not sure whether having a diploma will take you directly to 2nd year.

I do only know that a friend of mine who has a diploma in Mechanical Engineering was given an advance of 150 points. If I am not mistaken, it depends on the coordinator.

As for intake dates, refer to the link below:-

4 years of studies in bachelor of engineering will give me a honours degree?

Well for my college here right now is that i could proceed to my second year if i finished my diploma, so i was wondering if it would be the same, if i have to start over from year 1 it would really be a waste of time IMO, unless I want to change to a different course, otherwise i'll have to repeat the things i've studied.

anyone flying there this mid of february?

Hello! Flying off to Miri tomorrow afternoon!

Is Curtin really that boring? This thread scares me

Anyway I'll be doing Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical). Anyone with me? I'll be staying in Village.

It depends. Its not exactly that Curtin is boring, its more like the surrounding area. Some of them say its relaxingly nice and some the opposite.
To me, compare with Miri and my hometown KK, well KK is way better for me of course. Miri has 3 shopping centres and 1 major cinema. KK beats Miri by several fold. What more if compared to KL...
Car traffic is the opposite though. Way more relaxing to drive in Miri..... No car park woes in city centre

jupiter_9, since you're heading there tomorrow, try find it out yourself...
*cross fingers*, hope you enjoy the O'Week.. *cough*

hey....the degree programme - public relations in curtin izit good?

honours in the australian context, unlike the british system, is an extra year one does at the end of the basic degree.......and often acts as a bridge towards a masters........

and engineering is always a 4 year course in oz, unlike again the brits.....you will need to study the full 4 years anyway, if you want to be eligible for consultant engineer status with iem.........

will be flying tomorrow also hahaha, morning flight

will be staying in the lakeside apartment XD

Class already started for a week... huhu so many clashes damn it. Btw i just read this http://www.easterntimes.com.my/index.php?n...s_content=10623 Huhu hoping this will not happen again....

I know. It freaked me out too. Thanks goodness I was in a middle of a lecture when this happened....

miri has the most ridiculous cinema in the whole sarawak or probably malaysia

ts, I've already add your thread to my official thread list

yeah quite true, last week was my first time in the cinema here, watched fast and furious. Sometimes no sound, sometimes the screen blinks. LOL.

erm...if anyone still goin over this thread then can u help me with one thing ? i'm goin to take bachelor in mechanical engineering n one thing i heard from most of the student in curtin is.....the lecturer isnt that gud..and some of them only come for a very short period, maybe a subs...so any opinion ? shld i still consider curtin as my u of choice ? coz i'm still choosing btween swinburne and curtin...oh, btw, i live in miri

if you 1 2 compare swinburne and curtin, what i can say is curtin is way above swinburne. I think in uni life most of the time you don't really depend on your lecturer anymore. True to say that if all the lecturer are good, then the path toward a cert would be smooth. I always treat it as a challenge of my life.

Fattening food is already a challenge.

Any suggestions?

what u eat till u say is a challenge? "bilin"???

its true maybe for some subjects, but when it comes to something that i really cant understand, i still need the lecturer to teach me that...i tried to study some subjects myself n the past, but eventually i failed...erm, well, thr are juz things that i wont understand if i dun get guidance(especially from a gud a lecturer), so, u can say that i'm pretty much dependent on the lecturer's quality of teaching..(knew it wasnt a good thing to do, but...hrm)
