You'd prob be better off with this course.

Yea I've seen it; don't really want to go to Limerick though and I'm not certain that it's exactly what I want to do - just wondering if it would be an option if I did mechanical in Trinity.

As far as I know you should have no problem getting into a masters course in Aeronautcal from doing mech. Its what Im hoping to do anyway.

What're the hours like in first year engineering?

About 30 hours lectures/tutorials + your own study.

you missed practicals, phy and chem labs and the work you need to do after for the reports thats maybe under 10 hour extra so often

th cival labs are ok get to play with stuff
the mech one involve work and hearing loss.
and elec are a pain

engineering is a bit of work, but its totally worth it. you learn a lot. At the start of the year i was working part time, going to college and doing rowing with the college which is a full time sport itself. had to quit the job in the end. what im saying is, its a lot of hours but u can still do other stuff.

What the? Thought jf eng results weren't supposed to be up til tomorrow??? A wary w00t, if what I'm reading is my result though!

Peleus · 03-07-2009 07:25PM

i got better in chemistry than i did in electricity!!? weird since i went to nearly every electricity lecture and almost no chemistry ones. i got a book token too. sweet!

I've just done my leaving and hoping to get engineering in Trinity. Would you say that the points required might go up or stay more or less the same like in the last few years?

mathew · 04-07-2009 12:29AM

Its impossible to say. They went up a bit (by 5 or so) the last few years. If you have youself about 490 ish you should be in no problem..

Nothing that can be done now anyway so theres little point worrying. Just gotta sit it out and wait till the offers in a month

Just stumbled across jmccrohan/Johnathan's twitter, we engineers roll in all too tight a circle of nerdyness.

How you stumble across me?

I didn't get followed. I'm hurt. :P

devinejay · 16-07-2009 01:16PM

I use Agtweet for my mobile twittering and I saw a message you left there.

Brian · 16-07-2009 08:13PM

I thought that was you that I was talking to in the RDS after some exam. I probably left it an hour and a half early, 'cuz I'm so clever with my II.I and all.

devinejay · 16-07-2009 08:16PM

Hah, had you pegged for most of the year, what with the radiohead t shirts and the scooter!

Brian · 16-07-2009 08:19PM

Could have been any of my many imitators.

devinejay · 16-07-2009 08:24PM

Guess I got lucky then

Peleus · 17-07-2009 09:09PM

Who's the chick?

Boston · 12-08-2009 12:00PM

She's from Firefly, Kaylee. It's epic sci-fi. Baza is pretending they're real people.

Brian · 12-08-2009 01:24PM

Actually I used the photo because it was a Kaylee quote from when Inara first comes down the steps from her shuttle. Besides, Jewel Staite is quite real.
