is UTS good for eng?
I have no complaints - can't go wrong with UTS, UNSW or Usyd for Eng from what i've heard. Just do your research now, and make up your mind - even though people talk of transfers all the time you really wont want to have to redo first semester maths, physics etc. (depends on what uni you are transferring to/from i guess though) and once you've made friends you'll stay... I've had some good lecturers and tutors, some bad ones - i'd say it will be the same case everywhere.

The things i like about UTS are that our timetables aren't as busy as UNSW's, our first semester subjects don't have a ridiculously high failure rate, more relaxed because of the last two points, there is a good mixture of people - both in terms of race and where they are living, transport is so easy, the internships and the fact that later on in the course a lot of subjects are run at night as so many people are part time with jobs at uni before graduating.

What is the most popular engineering in UTS requiring 90+ atar?

EDIT: What is the most popular engineering that people study at UTS requiring 90-98 atar
Civil is the only engineering with an official cut off over 90, one random ICT Engineering course got a cut off of around 95 for this year but only because it was picked by hardly any people (it had no major specified) and people who picked it had a tonne of bonus marks lol. There isn't a whole lot of correlation between atar and course selection - most the coop scholarship people are 95+ and there are people in that with all fields. Then there are people who are at UTS solely for the internships and/or because they have family + friends here or who are alumni. As a whole, i'd say average ATAR around here would be low-mid 80s but that stuff has rarely came up - no one cares. What you will realise eventually is ATAR has nothing to do with intelligence, and neither have anything to do with uni performance.

For now. Not as secure a job as civil engineering for example, on the other hand there are an awful lot of students studying civil engineering.

Electrical Engineering seems rather interesting. I was thinking about civil until I heard many rumors about it being extremely popular and stuff :(.

I seriously hope there is a bright future for the engineering pathway in life.

Do what interests you, not what is popular/unpopular.

Provided you pick something you're truly interested in, you'll be fine with engineering; the world will always need engineers.

So just last night I discovered the biomedical engineering degree. Looks interesting but need to do a lot more research on it. Can anyone thats doing it tell me much about it?
