I would suggest ENG1050 Materials Engineering. If you have taken that, go for ENG1010 PSA.
CHM1011 involves a lot of reports and memorizing during exam period.
ENG1081 Physics for engineering is a nice unit, but the projects can be a little bit scary.

wow! i bet you are good in counting numbers!
haha.. envy!
so great, i bet u are graduated!

Ah, that's too bad. You'd make a cool tutor too. Did you go straight to MBA?

Also, if anyone else could tutor me on Trade Finance and Exchange and/or International Financial Management, please PM me! Or if you could introduce someone, that'd be great too! Paid, of course!

any1 here enrollin for july intake?

do employers look at our GPA or WAM? my GPA is so low

im, reporting in in next week

yes, most employers look at your CGPA because IPTA uses that as a benchmark.
However, I think the employers will look at whether you are a first class graduate too.
no worries, WAM is equally as important.

Hello everyone !


I'm joining Monash Sunway for Engineering, July 2011. Most likely into Mechanical. Should I take ENG1081 (Physics for Engineering) or ENG1050 (Engineering Materials) ?

Hope to see you all at Orientation

what is wam?|

Yea it's more on statistics and research methods but many find it easier than 1A.
I find 1B easier than 1A, results for 1B was also better than 1A.

Psych papers are all MCQs. First year I think 90 MCQ questions if not mistaken. Assignments can be quite tough sometimes but it usually doesn't take up as much time as business subjects.

Also for psych subjects, you'll have to attend above a certain percent of lab class, 70% I think for the hurdle. Last time we used to have compulsory lab where the Aussie guy will come and teach us for few hours (and we can skip all the other labs if we want to) but this year I think they change it to the lab classes attendance.

Psych 1A actually not that bad, it introduces you to the most basic theories of psych but yea lots of reading and history.

Welcome to Monash University Sunway Campus!

Well, ENG1081 Physics used to be one of the highly recommended units.
It was replaced by Profession starting this year.
The lecturer, Dr. Lan is brilliant and the projects are fun and requires team work.
However, you will have to spend more time on projects for this particular unit.

ENG1050 Engineering Materials is a nice unit.
You will learn a lot about material properties and be able to compare and choose the best material for a project.
You will be using a software called CES in this unit.

If you intend to study Mechanical Engineering, I would advise you to take both units.

Ah yes. Since they've made Engineering Profession compulsory, I guess I'll be taking ENG1091 (Mathematics for engineering), Dynamics, Materials and Profession for this semester, and then next semester Computing, Structures, Electrical Systems and Physics.

Thanks again

I just hope that I don't have too many parking problems as I live in Damansara, and will be travelling everyday. Hope not too stressful also.

No problem. All the best in Monash =D

anything to do pre-orientation? im bored at home, and can't wait for sch to start. i registered for authcate already.

i enrolled to this unit already, coz i have one blank unit in the coming semester.
hope everything goes well la XDD
thanks for ur info ya

how many marks above are considered 1st class? but i think business courses do not categorise using classes? yes? no?

WAM stands for Weighted Average Marks

Dr. Lan is brilliant indeed. I wonder whether Monash students would still have the privilege to be taught by him after this.
