Engineering (Telecommunications) (1 Viewer)

My number one choice. Sadly, despite my enthusiasm for all things science, I have had little input to what the course is like except for "heard it's a great course to do and you will easily get a job at the end of it all".

I am hoping to major in either Comms. Eng or telecomms engin / networks. Big attraction there is the growing telecommunications world, phone comapines coming out of the blue (and as some of you might remember, disappearing altogether...

I see but one problem though - my subject choices have made life a little difficult.

Mathematics
Eng. Adv.
Physics
Drama
Music 1

with the two practical subjects there (namely the large effort for the performances and my video i did for my IP) i won't get the band 5 for maths that I KNOW I am going to need. Which just makes the course that little bit harder and daunting knowing that I haven't spent as much time on the things that matter than I should have...

Oh well.

Is anyone else considering an enginnering course, or possibly communications?

hey there, im already in an engineering course at newie uni (as you can tell by my sig.) and id defenitely recommend an engineering course. I have a friend from school doing telecommunications eng. / computer science at newcastle and he is finding it ok, i think first year telecomms is similar to electrical eng and software engineering, so if you didnt like it after a year, transferring to another field of engineering would be fairly easy. Oh and dont worry about the band 5 in maths, you should be pleasently suprised with your maths HSC results...i know i was..well good luck with it all.

good choices of courses countrydude , dont stress about the maths either, band 5 in maths is only recommended for engineering, not a prerequisite. well good luck with study and HSC exams
