1. Doesn't matter. They teach you what you need to know. 2. There is a lot of mechanics involved. 3. Depends on your concept of smart. :P 4. Depending on the courses, it can be as much as 50/50. 5. You don't get offered unless you apply - US-based companies usually require US citizenship for...

I was 3. Damn hot chick too... gotta love those pigtails.

Thanks for reading my post, otherwise you wouldn't have known to reply that way :D Nice to see people keeping their word. :cool:

You're HSC 2006, and you're commenting on that stuff. Sorry, post was too long and probably irrelevant. Your post was skipped. Good day sir.

And there's a guy with 86.55 and doing mx/space.... weird eh? Space is nice if you feel like doing some fun stuff, and the assignments aren't terribly stressful, at least for the space-specific subjects. Salah (the space head dude) pretty much does exam-less subjects, with emphasis on doing...

Of course, we can only hope that the 60 years gets lower because of evolution - arts students are a dying breed and I envisage that they won't last through this next 2-3 decades

English is a wondrous thing, isn't it?

You know, it'd look a lot more respectable response if you had just used english instead of fuckwit. As for RAM, you don't NEED 1GB. It's nice to HAVE 1GB, but it's not essential. XP runs fine under 128MB if you can be bothered figuring out how to set it up properly. Besides, load up is...

I'm under explicit instructions by today's lecturer (Steve) to discourage people from enrolling in mechatronics. :P (They usually take too many :))

You'll probably find that you'll have one or two biomed-specific courses in first year, compared to mech. What this means is you'll probably end up doing a couple of biology courses instead of chemistry/physics, which normal mech does. As for the proper biomed subjects offered by the aeromech...

Whatever you do, don't bother doing Electrical at USyd. If you really MUST do elec, do it somewhere else. The mechatronics facility is taking over a large proportion of the elec faculty's facilities, as the elec faculty is going down the pisser. So either do mechatronics and get a job at...

I love my 18 hour week thankyou. :P

I'd make sure with Salah or whoever your year advisor is.

I think you'll find that I know what I'm talking about, at least when it's relevant to me. Half of the people doing combined degrees that started in my year will miss out on mechatronics 2, as well as other things like thermodynamics and engineering mechanics. I don't know how they're...

Actually I'd rather the "pure" degree. Half the interesting stuff is taken out when you do combined.

3rd year is where all the cool stuff starts :P We're building a satellite this year :P

:D

Now you're getting the hang of it :P

Say B E (Mechanical / Mechatronic / Space Engineering) It looks harder :P

Yes. It is.
