Hey guys, anyone here studies chemical or mechanical engineering at Monash Uni? How is the lecturers , facilities etc there? Is it good? From what i have heard , Monash is not that famous for engineering courses , is that so?

hi everyone, can any1 recommend me any elective units at caulfield that is easy? i am currently at my last semester~

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

@RedShirt, if you don't mind, how is the job prospect being a grad from Monash with the double major ?

As for the business and commerce students, any reading list or books i can read during my one month break before uni starts in august for me? I've been a science student all along and I'm pretty sure I'll be a little bit behind everyone. Thanks !

try speedwing... did it 3 times with them... paid off my 4.5 years of engineering by working there

Hello there, I'm a electrical and computer system engineering undergraduate at Monash Sunway.
In my opinion, the lecturers here are alright.
Most of them are experienced and it depends on their teaching style.
Some lecturers want you to be independent and do lots of self study.
Some would be kinder and would choose a few tutorial questions to discuss during the tutorial session.
Facilities wise, Monash are well equipped but some of the labs have limited hardware (eg. speedy-33).
I don't really know what Monash is famous for but the engineering courses here are not easy.
We follow the same syllabus, sit for the same exam paper and use the same tutorial questions as our counterparts in Clayton, Australia.
For some units, especially year 2 onwards, you need to put in a lot of effort.

Cheers.

Monash new students residence looks good. I was given a guided tour of the place and impressed with the set up. However, the "duplex" units with attached bathroom looks a bit expensive with the bathroom costing an additional RM500 per month. The cafetaria has yet to be fully set up and there might just be limited food choices. For coffee lovers, there is Starbucks!

hmmm, mind telling us how much is the rent per month?
Who did you approach to get a tour of the new hostel?

Any pictures?

The residence office has shifted to the Monash hostel and you can make a request for them to take you around. The Starbucks is along the passage way - no signs yet.

Oh. did you go alone or in a group?

get a small group as you need the lift.

Hey , anyone else here who studies engineering at Monash? Would like to hear some of your opinion studying there. Anyone knows if engineering is famous at Monash?

$1050 per month or $1500 for with the toilet ones
been hearing lot of things about the hostel, plasma TV,Astro,Unifi etc etc but Im sure its just rumours haha

am planning to go for work and travel in US as well!
can i apply for the program right after i graduated?

There is a unit of flat screen TV fixed to the wall of each room and I think its Panasonic of 32 inch. There have also given each room a small refrigerator like those in a hotel and you can stuff all your goodies inside there.

Unlike Sun-U residence, you cannot do your laundry in the unit but has to do it at the laundrette provided at the ground floor (I think).

get familiar with accounting,marketing,management,econ things for the 1st sem.starting to read business sections is also a good start.
dont feel that you are behind, coz what our lecturer tell us 'dont think that you are better than those Science students even if you had taken Business related subjects before'
