So, in this session, what is engineering will be
mentioned, careers in engineering, areas of
engineering and UTS courses, how to best prepare to study
engineering at UTS. And a question answer session at the
end. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to
put in the question answer and we'll try to get back at it as
soon as possible. So, what is engineering? So engineering is
the development of infrastructures and technologies
that sustain human life and economic activity. It also
expoits and extends the knowledge of mathematical and
natural sciences and work with communities clients and
consumers to design and innovate diverse systems and services. So
so a few examples of engineering include environmental
engineering, mechanical space mechatronic biomedical data
science, engineering, electrical engineering, chemical
engineering, civil software, electronic and geotechnical
engineering. So the future of engineering, so a few examples
is robotics, 5g, cloud engineer, software engineer, data
engineering, smart manufacturing, autonomous
vehicles, IoT platform development and space
exploration. So, I'm gonna go through the courses now for UTS
engineering. So there's Civil and Environmental. There's
software, civil structures and construction. So you can choose
just civil, or you can choose to go into more of the structural
side or the construction side. There's flexible, mechanical,
electrical, biomedical, mechanical and mechatronics.
Mechatronics by itself, data science, electronic and
electrical and electronic. And the newest one coming in 2023 is
chemical process. So the ones with an asterix, they're all
doubles. So you can't do any combined degrees that are at the
bottom. Everything else, you can combine it with a Bachelor of
Business, international studies, creative intelligence and
innovation, medical science or science. That's so what and so
we're gonna do a little poll. What area of engineering do you
think you'd most like to study in or work in? Trouble? Oh.
Okay. So the most I'm seeing right now is civil, and
environmental, or mechanical and mechatronics, which is super
normal. I think civil and Mech and Mech are the biggest
faculties we have. I see a few biomed some electrical flexible,
we're going to be talking about flexible engineering soon. Some
data science and there's one or two chemical processing ones.
Okay. Cool. Let's move on. So flexible. So we're not the only
engineering degree in Australia without a specified major. So So
why would you choose flexible engineering, you can pretty much
create your own combination in a way that whatever you kind of
want to learn, you can put them in and make it like a sub major.
So there is some majors in an emerging area which is renewable
energy, advanced manufacturing, and a lot more or you don't know
which major you want to go in. So I think I did flexible my
first year. And then I chose civil and you can choose it in
your second year or you can keep going with just creating your
own combination pretty much. so This is another degree that we
offer, which is bachelor of engineering studies, it's pretty
much a technical degree, which allows students to develop broad
based engineering skills, but without the full engineering
status. So pretty much you can you learn about what engineers
do, and you can work with them. But you can't do like the full
engineering experience pretty much. But, but you can major in
advanced manufacturing, which you can become a technologist,
you can specialise in a growing area, and it is a three year
degree. Or you can combine it with the Master of Teaching,
which is four and a half year degree. So 1.5 years added to
the bachelor of engineering studies. And you can become a
high school engineering studies teacher or be a specialised
teacher. Okay, so the Diploma in Professional Engineering
Practice, as Camillus talked about before you complete two
six month internships, one as early as your second year and a
one in fourth year. So you get an opportunity to get real life
industry experience before you graduate. And you can develop
professional skills, which are super valuable by employers, and
you build a network of top organisations in the industry.
Because I do a bachelor of engineering and business, I
don't have the diploma with my degree. So I technically only
have to do a three month degree. But if you guys want that one
year experience, then you guys can add it on. And that would be
a six year degree. So for me, I've done three internships kind
of my first one was, I think, in my third year, and I did it for
a month before. And it was about like cost estimating and
everything. But it was I did it for a month, and then COVID hit
and then so I couldn't do that anymore. And then I think last
year, which was my fourth year, I did a civil engineering one in
membrane technology for UTS for three months, I think. And then
now at the moment, I'm doing another internship as a civil
consultant at a smaller mid sized company called North
projects. So if anyone has any questions about internship
experience, and everything, I think me and Carmela both have
quite a lot. So I'm gonna pass it back to Carmela to talk about
a few other UTS things.
Thanks, Haley. So yeah, I think this is like a really common
question that a lot of you guys will have, especially the Year
12 students, because when I was in Year 12, this was something
that was definitely something that I really wanted to know is
about adjustment points, which I think a lot of you guys who are
in your 12 right now would consider as bonus points for the
university admission centre when you do apply for your university
courses at towards the second half of this year. So basically,
at UTS it, we call them adjustment points and these
adjustment points are added on top of your raw ATAR that you
get on the day that atars get released. So those adjustment
points will not be shown on the other day of your ATAR. These
adjustment points will be added to a student's raw ATAR to give
them a selection rank in total. Please note that these
adjustment points does cap at 13 points at UTS. So, there are
numerous different ways that these adjustment points can be
given out to students who are currently applying for a place
at UTS for next year. So these ways can be completed through
completing the UTS Engineering and IT questionnaire. Good
results in relevant HSC subjects which is called the year 12
subject scheme, your gender or even special circumstances and
even more ways to get adjustment points. So if you guys do want
to Learn more about adjustment points, feel free to scan the QR
code on the screen. Right now, I'll give a couple of seconds to
give you guys opportunity to scan that code as well even take
a picture. But yeah, that will give you more information.
Information about the adjustment point schemes here are UTS will
just move on to the next slide, which will go through the UAC
key dates. So right now there is no particular dates. But this is
the general calendar of events that usually happen from today.
So right now, at the end of April, scholarship applications
are currently open. So if you guys are considering applying
for any types of scholarships here at UTS, I certainly
recommend you guys to apply. Because you never know you
definitely might have the opportunity to be selected for
those in for those scholarships as well. So definitely give them
a shot. Please take note that our Open Day this year will be
on the 27th of August. Hopefully, we can finally have
that in person for the first time in two years. So definitely
keep an eye out for our Open Day this year. And as per usual, you
will have your HSC exams. Before you do get your HSC results
Atars release and for each of the offer rounds. So there will
be numerous offer rounds when you do get post your ATAR
release date. So within each of these offer rounds, feel free to
actually change your sub, your core selection throughout each
of these rounds. But definitely make note of when the last date,
you can actually change your selection for each round,
because you will be locked in for that particular offer round
for those subjects for those core selections that you
definitely selected for then but if you do have any further
information feel, please feel free to visit the UAC website,
which is the link down on the bottom of the slide there for
more information.
So just moving forward, definitely was a success last
year. So we're definitely bringing it back again this
year. So, we do have a UTS early entry programme. And this is
currently available to current domestic students or
international onshore year to 12 students. So for those who are
currently in your 12 listening, definitely please start thinking
about whether you would like to apply, I would definitely tell
you guys definitely do apply as soon as possible. Because there
is different ways that you can actually apply for this early
entry programme. So this will be through the UTS online
application portal which is different to UAC. So there will
be External links on our UTS website once this early entry
programme does open and these applications will open in June
July of this year and will close in September. So the result of
these early entry programmes will result in provisional
offers which will be released in October before your HSC
commences and the only thing that you will need to do to
fulfil those provisional offers will be to complete your HSC or
equivalent, which would be if some of you guys are in year 12
would be your IB. If you would like to learn more information
about how your points can be maximised for this early intro
programme, feel free to also scan the QR code on the screen
right now. We also have different student support
services such as bridging courses offered in mathematics,
physics and chemistry and what we call UPass. So it's peer
assisted study success, which is available for some of our major
subjects here UTS especially in the Faculty of Engineering and
IT. So these are just examples of some of the student support
services but there is incredibly more that you can learn on our
website. Thank you so much for attending this engineering
webinars series. And we look forward to seeing you on campus
very soon. Bye guys.
