MMAN1300 (mechanical equivalent) is 50% statics and 50% dynamics.

CVEN1300 (civil equivalent) is about 75% statics and 25% dynamics.

MINE1300 (mining quivalent) .. not too sure.

check out their course descriptions in their respective handbook pages.

do the course that corresponds to your degree. If you're a civil engineer, do cven. If you're from the mech/manufac faculty, go for mman. If you're a miner, go for mine.

Im doing Materials science and engineering. My enrolment guide says as a recommended elective do:

"1. CVEN1300 Engineering Mechanics (which also has the coruse codes MINE1300 or MMAN1300)
2. CHEM 1011 Essentials of Chemistry 1A OR CHEM1031 Higher Chemistry 1A OR CEIC1001 Engineering Chemistry"

btw, I have another question. I did HSC chemistry and obtained a mark of like 92. Do you think I should take CHEM1031 or CHEM1011? Or just CHEM1021? Or Engineering Chemistry.

Should I take CVEN1300/MINE1300/MMAN1300 1st semester and the chem 2nd semester, or the other way around?

you cant take cven1300/mine1300/mman1300 in 1st semester because math1131 and phys1121 are its prerequisites, meaning you need to have passed those 2 subjects before being allowed to do mechanics, meaning you gotta do it in second semester.
As for which one you have to do, do whatever you want, apparently cven is the easiest. I'd say its because it only has 25% dynamics (rest is statics) and dynamics is hard. I dont know anyone who did the mine equivalent, so not sure how that one's like.

chemistry... that's an awesome hsc mark. Just do whatever chem you want.
If you know you're awesome at chem and you wanna get a HD to look good on ur academic transcript and boost your wam, then do the easiest chem. If you want a challenge, then do one of the other 2. Up to you :)

alright. For mine1300, it is designed specially for miners with 50% for each statics and dynamics. However, when i did it two years ago, quite few materials science students were in my class too.

Thats interesting.

Still, im not sure which one is most appropriate to the Materials Engineering degree. Im strongly considering majoring in process metallurgy (which is about, if im not mistaken, extracting shit from its ore). I suppose MINE1300 is most appropriate?

Because Materials Engineering is much more flexible in allowing you to choose an Engineering Mechanics course, do CVEN1300 because it's easier than MMAN1300.

Mechanical Engineers don't do this, you will face enrollment problems later on.

MMAN1300 (mechanical equivalent) is 50% statics and 50% dynamics.

CVEN1300 (civil equivalent) is about 75% statics and 25% dynamics.

MINE1300 (mining quivalent) .. not too sure.

check out their course descriptions in their respective handbook pages.

do the course that corresponds to your degree. If you're a civil engineer, do cven. If you're from the mech/manufac faculty, go for mman. If you're a miner, go for mine.
What?
CVEN1300 was 65% statics and 35% dynamics when I did it.

Mine1300 is more about engineering stuffs like truss, force, momentum in a rigid body. From my exprience, they still count it as 6 UOC engineering mechanics regardless which subject you did out of the three.

About the process metallurgy, you will need/have to do a course which is called minerals and processing in second semester of year 2. Im not sure what is its course code in your program outline but it is known as MINE2810 for my program.
