    I've been hearing that there is less ans less people doing these and course are getting canceled.

    I also heard the quality of the courses are dropping.

    Any one got any info on this?

    less and less you say. I'd find that hard to believe since civil is the post popular choice for undergrades. Also post grades is where the money is under ARAM so it's unlikely to be budget cuts.

    As for the quality of the courses. Muck, at undergraduate level. but then thats my opinion.

    I was gona sign up for one of there post grad programes but was told that it had be cancelled due to lack of people wanting to do it.

    The amount of course available 5 years was alot more than now.

    The undergrad course was fine for me.

    lack of demand for a particular course, does not mean there's less people doign them. Also in general the options wrt to engineering courses both in postgrade and undergrade in trinity have been getting allot narrower, despite record numbers of students coming into the course.

    If the course was good there would be a big demand and it wouldnt be cancelled.

    A bad course would suffer low numbers and would be cancelled.

    Thas what I think anyways

    I don't know what civil was like five years ago. But these days you have allot of people looking for the easies ride out to an engineering degree. The course may well be bad, but allot of good courses have been cut over the years, all in the name of "rationalisation"
