hi, im currently working as a courier driver and im going to start an engineering degree at uws this year, i was wondering how many dayz would i have to attend uni per week, if i am able to cram in...wat is the least amount of dayz per week i can attend uni????

i dont understand how to use the handbook, can any engineering student at uws explain it to me....thx

its hard to do that, coz my job requires a 12 hour shift, so there a way i can do night class for uni (engineering), like at 8 or 9 pm

the handbook is just a list of the courses you are able to choose from to do each semester. it gives you a recommended structure for the course which you more or less need to follow so you do every subject and finish the course. if you start as a first year student then you're gona be there for 4-5 days a week but 2nd year and onwards it'll probably be 3-4 days. the problem is you can't cram most of it into a minimum amount of days because most lecture and tutes are fixed on certain days and it's mainly pracs that you can choose when you want. also in the first 2 years or so, there arent very many evening classes for engineering. i'm talking about the civil engineering course by the way..others might be a different story. what field do you want to specialise in anyway?

go to this link and have a flick thru - it shows the subjects and when they run i.e day or night:

that's for units from the engineering school which i'm assuming yours are from?

You'll see on the left, depending on eth campus, some run day, some night, some external - external is anotehr option for someone in your position if you can do it because you can do the study when you can fit it in but i'm not sure about the uni's policies about whether you can or can't do external study.

if you enrolled into full time B engineering, you should expect at least 4 days/week. 26-28hr/week contact hr

I remember when i was in UNSW Comp Eng, i never had 4 days... actually, they all 5 days.:mad1:
