 So you’ve decided to do Electrical Engineering eh? Congratulations, you have just enrolled in the toughest course in the whole of the Engineering Faculty, nay, the whole University. Before I put you off too much let me just add that if you ever do manage to finish and get a degree you’ll get paid rather well.When I started my degree all those years ago now (well it was only three but it seems forever ago) I had a lot of ideas about what I thought Electrical Engineering was going to contain. In the end it hardly had anything to do with my preconceived notions, but that’s not to say that I was disappointed. The great advantage of an Electrical Engineering degree is that you’re options are so large and varied. Whether you want to design solar cells, computer hardware, programme software, send messages to the moon or bring power from the snowy mountains to Sydney there is something here for you, just make sure you have at least one smart friend who knows what is going on. It’s also important to remember to enjoy yourself at uni. I hate to use the oft quoted “degree factory” cliché but uni should be an experience you always look back on with fond memories. Join as many clubs as you want, come for a free game of pool in the SUSPECTS common room on level 4 of the Elec Building, vomit over the side of the boat on a SUEUA cruise or score a try for a uni footy team but get involved. I hate to use mathematical terms in the holidays but you’re level of enjoyment is directly related to the amount of effort that you put in. Keir Anderson |
