YAY! free drinks =.= ... as you might deduce, I got a co-op for mining as well! =D
Curry, IIRC from the Open Day lecture, they said ~7.

Oh really you are on a coop for mining too yewl!
I'm getting keen for it...staying at New College too should be fun
but i kinda got put off cos mining eng had a low UAI and i felt unspecial doing it with my UAI - if that makes sense, so that'd be awesome if it went to 90, but as if it would hey

 

[Curry]

Average UAI:

[lilkatie]

oh good i feel alot better/happier now!!

 

[Numero Uno]

the dude at the engineering lecture said it himself i dont believe it but yeah

Yeah anyway will find out the cut off's in a few days

Cant wait till Uni starts i might see u guys there

 

[lilkatie]

you doing mining eng r u? haha if you r def see you, as there's not very many ppl doing it

 

[ioniser]

good luck people with mining engineer,I might end up at wollongong mining

 

[Numero Uno]

Well guys i got into my course B comm / b eng (mining)

so ill see u guys next year !!
man mining this year has no vacancies !! crazy stuff

 

[ioniser]

yeah wollongong was offering me an interview if i still want to do it,changed my mind im going to do mining after i finish my first engineering degree which will be like an extra 2.5 years including becoming a miner for 1 whole year

 

[lilkatie]

Don't go to the Gong gay gay gay
huh i'm confused? why don't you just go do an engineering (mining) degree, instead of doing an extra 2.5 years

What do you mean "no vacancies"?

 

[Numero Uno]

What do you mean "no vacancies"?

Well according to uac mining eng has no hecs vacancies, in other words the course, may not be accepting new students in the late round offers.


Btw

Do any of u guys also have problem with enrolling ?
in semester 1 i cant see to enrol to
mine1010
http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/2006/MINE1010.html
apparently the times havent been established ..
same problem with semester 2 in
MINE1300 Engineering Mechanics
http://www.timetable.unsw.edu.au/2006/MINE1300.html

pretty shifty ...

 

[DoAsInfinity]

Yeah same prob here...

 

[Curry]

Yeah, get used to it... they don't establish timetables until very late. You will be enrolled it in anyway, all mining students will be. Go to the mining website, and check this out:

http://www.mining.unsw.edu.au/Courses/student_info/~menu_student_info.htm

to see the times.

yeh guys i talked to paul hagan about it
apparenty only people who are doing the single mining degree were allowed in, so ppl in other eng courses werent allowed to mining elective,
though yeh, thus us ppl that r doing double degrees with a different program code from then mining eng course werent able to enrol..

apparently he'll fix the problem tomorrow ..

well personally i do want to do mining but the thing is i dont want to be stuck in the outback for the rest of my life,so getting 2 engineering degrees allows me to get two totally different ebg degrees and not restricting myself to mining


(planning to do mining engineering for like 10-15 years,then use my other degree to work somewhere not as remote, you know to be closer to friends etc...........)

Miners earn a lot of money because they are in shortage. Last year, graduates were in total of 15 at UNSW. Don't you guys have second thoughts about the high pay? If they pay really high, I mean, it does include funeral fees too doesn't it?

Yeh thats wut im also planning to do , getting a double degree , and spend a few years in the mine then come back to City, with some experience under my belt.

 

[Curry]

Mate, if you plan to do mining engineering for 10 - 15 years, you will be experienced enough to get hired to work from the city. Not trying to dissuade you from the double degree, but I wouldn't spend that long on mining and then go on to something else when you could be getting VERY good money with the exp. you've gained.

 

[Curry]

Tuna, do you know how many procedures go into place in a mine to work it safe to work? There isn't that high a chance you will get hurt. Miners and Mining Engineers and anyone associated with mining are some of the most safety concious people you will ever meet. Again, if you don't to do it, that's fine, but please at least make judgements based on some facts.

 

[ioniser]

yeah well after 15 years of mining engineering and managing the whole mine,you 'd be a millionaire and have alot of experience in management.The money should be enough to start me own mechatronics engineering business or even own mine......................


do you get where im going ?
