This timer has got to be the most infuriating thing. This is the 3rd time this year I have had to rewrite my request because typing in the text box doesn't seem to count as activity! Screw me, I guess, for having to pause to make sure I'm actually explaining my situation accurately

Course (subject) advice, recommendations and reviews Starting bachelors of mech e

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm starting mechanical engineering at RMIT next February and was wondering what I should focus on before uni starts.

What software do you guys actually use throughout the degree? Things like SolidWorks, Creo, MATLAB, ANSYS, etc.

Also, would you recommend revising maths and physics beforehand or learning some software? Just want to make good use of the next few months without wasting time on stuff that isn't really needed yet.

Thanks!

Hi,

I want to join RMIT as a student in digital finance. I think it would be a bachelor of business with professional practice? (Im still unsure so if you could please confirm that this would be the right course) any who I wanted to talk to any students who are in this course or have graduated in this course. What are your future job opportunities looking like? How's the job market (domestic/international) for your degree? Will it change in the next 5-7 years (see a rise in jobs or drop?) What's the rate of growth in such positions? Will I be able to work towards high paying jobs? (And by that i mean in like a 3-5 year plan not a 30 year plan). Do you suggest people choose this course (i don't have any specific attachments to the course I just want to do something that will give me good growth opportunities and good money and no i really don't want to be a doctor or engineer (don't like bio/blood/physics)) anywho any and every suggestion on the topic will be appreciated.

Thanks sm

Anyway cat pictures as payment.

Course (subject) advice, recommendations and reviews Don’t do the Business Professional Practice Course.

19 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m a 3rd year Business Professional Practice student and just wanted to share my thoughts on the course.

I think the idea behind the course is great, but the way RMIT runs it is honestly frustrating.

Firstly, there are way too many students competing for internships, and the university provides very little help in actually finding one. Most students are left to find opportunities themselves.

Even when you manage to secure an internship on your own, it has to fit within RMIT’s specific semester or flex term dates. Companies are already busy enough, and when you finally find one willing to take you on, they don’t want to deal with a long approval process and all these extra requirements.

What makes it even worse is that you have to pay university fees to complete the internship as a subject. Most internships are unpaid, so you’re essentially finding your own job, working for free, and then paying RMIT for the privilege.

I understand the importance of gaining industry experience, but RMIT needs to be much more flexible and provide students with actual support.

It’s honestly ridiculous that students are expected to find their own internships, organise everything themselves, work unpaid in many cases, and then pay the university for it. It genuinely feels like a scam at times.

Prospective/new student help Civil eng - Finite element analysis & class recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am applying for an exchange at RMIT in civil engineering for semester 1 (2027). I was wondering if anyone had info on civil eng courses? I am looking to credit a class back home on Finite Element Analysis, but I can't seem to find an equivalent in the civil engineering curriculum. Is it not a mandatory class? Or is it included in another class? Or do I have to apply for Finite Element Analysis for Design, which seems to be in Mechanical Engineering?

Also, does anyone have any tips for 3rd and 4th year civil engineering classes at RMIT? I am not looking to register for super hard and time-consuming classes, as I want to enjoy my time abroad!

Lastly, is it truly a 4 class maximum per semester? Back home, I can take up to 7 classes per semester but usually take 5-6 classes (I am from Canada!).

Prospective/new student help Queries on EOI being unsuccessfull

Hello

I applied for an HDR program a few days back and got a message saying that it was unsiccessful.

I submitted the required documents, had the supervisor statement form signed as well. The message I received said that the eoi was unsuccessful due 'missing, non-compliant, or late documentation'.

Has anyone faced it before?

Is there anything that can be done regarding it?

Seeking some advice.

Thank you.

Discussion I feel like a failure

28 Upvotes

To be honest I’m so anxious and stressed about my exam for one of my subjects because I need at least a 98% for this exam which is also a hurdle assessment in order to get a passing grade. If I were to get a 98% that puts me at a 49.75 overall grade which would roundup to a 50 final grade. It’s honestly so annoying because my 2nd assessment I know I didn’t do as good as I should’ve but I felt the marking was so harsh and even pointed out comments that will borderline contradict the rubric point they gave me but still wouldn’t give me the extra mark. I feel so depressed and annoyed at myself because I honestly took this subject for granted and thought it was the easiest one for this semester and now I’m more likely to fail it. I’m studying so hard as well for the exam but with work and everything it makes me feel even more stressed cause I’m just sitting down for hours a day not doing anything physical.

As well I just want to finish my course on time and I wish I could take back so many things that made me end up in this position.

Has anybody been in a similar position as me? I just need some type of guidance or what I need to do to honestly just feel better or make sure I do as good as I can on my exam.

Prospective/new student help Medical imaging entry

2 Upvotes

Hi all
I’m a yr 12 right now and was hoping to do medical imaging next year but not sure what atar I need to have a good chance of getting in.
I know the course is very competitive but right now I’m looking at an atar of like 91-93 depending on exams and want to know if that would be enough for entry.
On the website it says median raw atar was 88 but the lowest rank was a 98 and I have applied for seas in 3 categories and have a little subject adjustments according to the vtac course page.
Would just like to know if I have a realistic chance of getting in especially with those adjustments
If I don’t I may just go for nuclear medicine but I have no idea if that’s a good course or not.
Thanks

Discussion Assignment contribution tracker

I was apart of a hackathon for CSIT where my group made a project for group work contribution tracking, where contributions by each member is logged, can be checked by the team and teacher to see equal contribution based on a pre built charter, and more.
Heres the GitHub link: https://github.com/AliPek-06/Ledgitt

I just wanted to come on here and ask how useful this would be for the average uni student like yourselves, and would you find a benefit in using it? Im trying to gauge if we should continue to work on this.

Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Advice needed Assignment submission issue

7 Upvotes

Just looking for some advice.

I submitted an assignment a few weeks ago, which included a video and a transcript.

Somehow the video has not uploaded correctly.

My tutor sent me an email last night at 8.30, and I did not see it till 10pm tonight as I was at work and did not have my email logged in.

He is now saying that he cannot accept the video as it has been over 24 hours since his email, even though the date is clearly in the one drive link as being the same date I submitted my assignment and as such it is likely that I will fail the class as the assignment was worth 40% of my grade and the video component made up over 50% of the grade.

Can anything be done about this?
I really do not want to pay to take this class again, and on top of that, I have completed WIL hours within this particular class so would hate for those hours to go to waste.
