ok, thanks

So they are different and each has its challenges. Does it matter at all which order they are taught in or not?

yes! some good news lol Do you feel confident with your programming skills? I've heard that UNSW emphasizes the practical workplace applications of CS during the degree (which I'm sure USYD does as well but apparently UNSW does it better).

I was worried that kicking it to 3rd year would put me behind others doing MATH2069 and 2nd yr units. It's doable I suppose, a little messy but possible. I want to avoid having semesters with 3 EE courses and 1 Arts because I feel the workload would be too stressful though many students are...

Thanks for clarifying.

What do you mean by real? I'v heard so many opinions on this ranging from yours to the opposite. I guess it isn't too big of a deal considering both are good unis yet start with different languages. If starting with JAVA was very wrong they probably wouldn't be doing it anyway.

Mechanical would be less "messy" to work around if I pushed back the electives to second year as you said and did 2 Arts units in yr 1 and 2 instead of 4 in 2nd year.

does this mean I could keep 1 of Digital Circuit Design/Circuits and Signals/Embedded Systems Design/Analogue Electronics for each semester. Is there any advantage to taking maths 2 while taking these courses? The length of the degree doesn't bother me much. Half a year is not much of a difference.

First year is not the biggest problem, it's 2nd and third. Here's EE as an example. You have to do Elec. Circuits in first year to do 2nd year circuit courses meaning I'd have to put off computing courses until second year which in turn means I'd have to wait until 3rd year to do all the 2nd yr...

Also, about CS. Apparently UNSW starts with C and USYD starts with JAVA... any thoughts on that?

So apart from fear of imminent failure it's the place to be lol jk does UNSW have a lower fail rate then or is this just a general CS fail rate wherever? I'm not gonna be slacking off so I'm guessing it won't matter which uni I go to. You don't fail if you do the work, right? RIGHT?

When you combine Engineering at UNSW with Arts you end up doing no Arts in first year and then 2 in second year and continue that way until you complete Engineering after which you have a year and a half of Arts. At Usyd it starts off with 2 in first year and then 4 for subsequent years. I tried...

short answer UNSW. USYD has an undergraduate biomedical engineering degree which basically throws in some EE, some ME and basic science. At UNSW you pick an engineering discipline (EE, ME, SENG, ChemE, Telco, Mechatronics, Bioinformatics) and you combine it with a Masters in Biomedical...

lol it DOESN'T fly... still cool though

As long as it's just aesthetics and doesn't impact on the quality of equipment being used I'm fine with it. That's the plan although you can't really plan WAM/GPA but I can hope. Seems like a nice experience. I've been looking into UCB and some of the Ivies. Thanks for the link btw.

Will do, thanks. I didn't know that. Actually makes it more appealing now haha

What made you choose USYD over UNSW for CS? How is your experience with CS units? Are you satisfied with the teaching quality, labs and any other CS related activities offered by USYD?

So I've heard.. the arts faculty at USYD offers a wider range of senior electives for the majors I'm considering which is what makes it so appealing. I still have my heart set on UNSW if I choose CS/SENG though.

I'm guessing that makes for some 'fun' exams. You'd have to be a pretty quick thinker to solve design questions under exam conditions lol

lol I know hahaha doesn't hurt to ask though.. I haven't been to either campus so I'm relying on what others have to say to form some kind of idea of what its like thought so, well hoped so hahaha
