Whats the difference between... (2 Viewers)

I've been looking over courses for engineering and i always seem to hear that UNSW is the best for this.... however i was wondering wat the is the difference between UTS and UNSW for engineering...

Personally, i am starting to think that UTS offeres a better course... i would like to do either mechatronics or mechanical eng. at UTS i can do these as one course where as at UNSW they are two separate courses. Also UTS seems to have better internships (12months not 3-6months like UNSW) and u get some kinda Diploma in Engineering Practice as UTS (which i have no idea wat it is)

Would someone please tell me if theres much difference between UTS n UNSW for the above course.. like every1 i wuld love to go to the best uni, but if UTS is not that much different i dont see a reason y i sshouldnt go there, so plz give me some info...

much appreciated!

UNSW is better. Internships shouldnt matter too much as you will probably have mutliple ones under your belt by the time you graduate.

firstly, i thought uts was a business-centric university (like macq)
secondly, i didnt even know that uts had an engineering faculty

so either I'm ignorant or it just shows you the reputation of the uts engineering

 

[dolbinau]

Actually I'm pretty sure UTS does indeed have a reputable engineering degree. I'm surprised you haven't heard much about it.

right now here is what i think in terms of "Why would I go to this uni?"

uws = med, forensics
macq = business, history
usyd = law, arts
uts = business, not tech
unsw = i cant make a fair judgement, although i wouldnt come here to study history

ahah thats strange considering its a university of Technology...lol

well i am what the gamers would call a noob... in my current opinion for engineering its unsw>uts.... however i just want to kno y everyone says unsw is better bcoz if there really is not much difference i feel that uts will b a better choice for me....

how much grass is in greenland? how much ice is in iceland?

how "techy" is uts?

the name means absolutely nothing

(especially when you consider that UNSW used to be called the New South Wales University of Technology )

What's wrong with it's history department?

there isnt one

I disagree... the name does mean a fair amount... and if UNSW was called New South Wales University of Technology as u said, it deserved this name because it is a very technologically based uni... but back to the original post.... can someone just try to answer the question...

I agree that the name means nothing. I have no interest in engineering at all! But I have heard on numerous occasions the quality of the UNSW engineering department. Correct me if I am wrong.. isn't it the top engineering faculty in Australia?

 

[00iCon]

UNSW > UTS. USyd is incomparable in awesomeness and intelligence.
It'd be like: USyd >>>>>>>>>>>>>> UNSW > UTS.

Yeha. Take a look at the world rankings for just engineering and UNSW was 16th or something last time i checked but it has seemed to move down. Now Melbourne is the best but meh, rankings are just the opinions of academics.

Enjoy writing essays in the UTS fluid mechanics course if you are not willing to go to UNSW.

 

[hotdimsim]

how can you write an essay on fluid mechanics? what would be the topic?
