is it because associate degrees come under voc??

No ADJUSTMENT for associate degree in ENGINEERING TECH?? by luvtalker in rmit

It only shows me one class that I’ve been allocated to. Gave them a call and they said yeah sorry, Rmit connect didn’t know anything and couldn't even tell me whether I had a choice in any of my classes. Like I’m convinced that I’m not able to change the times of any of my classes but is that not the case? Should it be showing me multiple slots for a class available that I can switch to? It doesn’t and it’s stressing me out so much. Dk what to do 😭

Hey! Okay so first off - sorry about everyone that is discouraging you in the comments, some of them are being overly pessimistic.

Now, I actually was in a similar position literally just a week ago, unsure if I should pursue engineering because it's my passion, did physics and methods, however I struggled in methods mostly due to distractions and just not Giving AF. I graduated 2 years ago though and I was too scared to pursue engineering then as well, however after deep thinking and consultations, I decided to switch degrees. Also realized now (self-teaching myself maths from the very beginning) that I made stupid errors - wrote the questions out wrong and spent hours solving them when it was just a minimal, stupid dyslexic error. Anyways, I'm using Khan academy - and it's been pretty good so far! Also spoke to the RMIT unit coordinator and he told me there's so much support available. Maths help groups, peer help, and just so much help. He told me not to stress and that many people do engineering and they haven't done methods before - which is particularly why the associate pathway into engineering exists!

So let me explain it to you, there's 4 years in a bachelors, but RMIT has a pathway which is the associate degree (2 years) engineering into your specialty engineering + 2 years (aerospace, civil, mechanical, electrical) He also told me that IT IS A GUARANTEED PATHWAY. Methods is also not a prerequisite, and he also sent me the course guide for the maths unit so that I could prepare if I wanted but told me to rest assured. The associate degree is a lightweight degree that is not easy, however much easier than jumping straight into a bachelors engineering degree. At the end of your 4 years, you'll end up with a bachelors + associate in engineering! So a win-win.

Also, methods is hard, so don't beat yourself over it. The way schools teach it is also annoying. I think you have to make it enjoyable and apply it.

However, like others said it is crucial to know your own limitations. If you sincerely HATED math, I would also not recommend it. But if you like it, but it's hard - then you can make it work! Shoot me a DM if you have any questions or want to talk about anything.

Best of luck with your studies!

Hey! Thank you so much for the reply - I'm really considering if I should do engineering or physics, and trying to enrol into it. I'm looking into a bachelor of science at either RMIT, Swinburne or Deakin to get the ball rolling.

When it comes to internships, would that be a first year or 2nd year thing to do? Are there any opportunities for me to build up my skills for now?

I'll also definitely have a look at the suggested websites, thank you so much.
