Civil Eng II (2 Viewers)

[laney]

hey, you have a whole week to study eng prac and you can get that done easily, so study comps and statics then *nods*

21st Eng Computations
22nd Surveying
28th Eng Prac AND Eng Constuction
2nd Statics

2 exams on one day is bad.
okay it's only eng prac but eng construction is hard!!

my group so has to start on the egg protecting project thingo. we haven't started, and other groups have already started. eeep

 

[Dash]

But theres heaps of reading involved wif Eng Prac...
A book and a whole booklet worth
Juss one question...
Is Eng Comp basically the same as Computing thats done in 1st semester?

 

[laney]

if you look at the past papers for Civ Eng Prac they just re-use the same questions every year. so just prepare for the questions they've had in past years


i never did Computing in 1st year. i've heard it's programming with CAD or something, i'm not sure exactly.
2nd year Computational Eng is actually just a statistics course. (where we do 1 matlab tutorial every two weeks - the course should just be called statistics)

 

[Dash]

Its all various things really...
We did 2 assignments for TurboCAD...
Then we did an Excel assignment...
And the MATLAB assignment that I just finished off last week...
I dun like MATLAB much...
I dunno how im gunna last through the computational eng course

 

[laney]

nah nah, computational eng is a breeze especially when the tutor give you help do to the assessments


how are people going with the egg protection shit thing? when's it due? my group hasn't started, i'm kinda freaking out. eeeeeek

 

[Dash]

Most ov the people in my tute haven't started either...
Our group has at least come up with a design
But I doubt that it will carry 9kgz...
Sounds impossible neway

Woot bridge testing tmr

im gonna die

 

[laney]

i saw one group's take a 9 kg fire extinguisher load and that was just WOW.

tomorrow will be fun. watching the bridge die. mwahah

 

[Dash]

Man... that so sucked...
Our bridge was so strong but the stupid sheet pasta couldn't hold the bricks in place...
We were way over the weight limit too

 

[laney]

ours came 3rd, i think.

ours was the first one tested and it kicked arse until the other funky bridge held 400 times it's own weight, which was just WOW!

 

[Dash]

Those guys were making their bridge right next to us the day b4 it was tested...
They left it in the New College Library...
We should've taken that and run

 

[laney]

you guys finished reading the book yet?

i'm only about half way and it's a pretty good book once the author actually talks about bridge failures and stops crapping on about other shit, but that's not until you get past the half way mark, and now i can't be bothered reading it anymore.

only 1 exam for me next week
and 4 the following week. eeeek.
i'm borrrrrrrrrrrred!!

 

[Dash]

Up 2 pg 100... Plan 2 read da whole thing 2morrow...
Got 3 exams next week... I reckon I'm gunna get owned in statics...

 

[laney]

how'd we go?

at least i'm not doing statics again next semester yay!
and i only got a credit for civ eng prac. grrrrrrrrrrr. retarded. i so should have aced that one.

 

[laney]

i'm not doing civ eng prac 1b next session.
might leave it to the end of my degree cause i just can't squeeze it in.
i'm doing math instead, which'll at least be more interesting

 

[lungke]

Ohhh.. Which math? 2nd Year?

 

[laney]

yup, "maths for civil engineers"
it'll beat making pasta bridges

 

[Dash]

how'd we go?

at least i'm not doing statics again next semester yay!
and i only got a credit for civ eng prac. grrrrrrrrrrr. retarded. i so should have aced that one.

Quite a few ppl failed statics...
I got a credit for Civil Practice too...

HELP ME..im a yr 10 student n i want to noe if physics is VITAL for engineering courses in UNI..becuase i dont like physics but if i dont do it am i disadvantaged???

If it is assumed knowledge for yor course then the university can offer you a bridging course if you have not taken Physics. You will, however, have to take either yr 12 Phyisics or the bridging course for ALL engineering course (except for Software )
