we had quite a few girls doing engineering in my year (melb chem eng)

including one who we found out was a stripper at Bar 20 at nights...

yeah, would be a hell of a lot more in chem eng than mech id think

not many chicks interested in physics compared to chemistry

Mechanical engineering here.

It's tough, lots of contact hours, hardcore crazy !&@^$!@*%& maths....

Have to graduate with atleast 3months vacation/internship in the industry and do a final year project in your final year on a topic from your professors which needs to be researched and a thesis/ massive report. Mine was like 120pages without the appendix. Well that was from my uni atleast.

Quite a few people drop out in the first couple years, oh and don't think mechanical is anything like becoming a car mechanic. So many people think a mechanicAL engineer is a car mechanic. :unsure:

Also, girls in engineering is like a needle in the haystack.

Yeah I'm not gonna be doing it haha. Ex is doing it (dat needle in dat haystack) at the moment and I was curious how prevalent the course was amongst car loving people.

Haha they're indeed a rare species in eng. In first year I remember playing spot the girls in eng lectures... surprisingly tough game :P

But nah there's a few about though from time to time, though. Just when you think about the sheer number of guys, it's not a wonderful ratio xD.

Got dam, what high school? Sure the 8 guys weren't teachers? lol

full srs

year 11

160 odd chicks, 8 guys

few more appeared in year 12, think we had 11 in the end lol

went to tintern ;)

^Rest assured if there is a girl in engineering, I will get her. <3 Ric

What'd you go to Marter Christi or something lol?

Psychology had a massive girl to guy ratio...most classes were 3 or 4 guys and 25 girls. Had its good and bad. Most of the pretty ones had dropped out after 1st/2nd year.

I actually do a double with arts, so I get my dose of girls from there. Generally a pretty good ratio, 2-5 guys out of a 15-20 people tute etc. so far.

Yay for variety :P

Edit: Btw that's some hs you went to bro, dat ratio!

Jelly brah, wish I had the cohunas to get out of this but feels like to much to give up

It sounds like you have a pretty good/successful job though, good reason to stay. That being said, if you've had feelings of wanting to leave, it just gets worse and worse down the track. I feel like I've wasted the last 3-4 years of my life and the only thought I have is why didn't I do it sooner.

Yeh people would say I'm crazy if I turned my back on my current wicket, but I've really achieved what i set out to do and 8 years in the same gig at only 26 years old is a fair effort I think, just feel like there is more out there for me...

I hope lol

Lots of engineering/electrical types here huh? Good, will be looking for new recruits/graduates this year.

I have worked here as automation/electrical design engineer for last 10 years. Expanding at a healthy rate 55 employees. I have a department to grow.

what type of grads are you looking for?

im currently in the hunt for grad work for next year (am finishing my mech eng degree)

Then you gotta move on, it will only get worse. No point being in a good job if you're tired of it. I got a mate who is earning twice what I was and he hates his job; it rubs off on his personal life. Truly is the most depressing person you can hang out with. But he refuses to change jobs / try something different because of his own expectations of success and those of his parents! Selling his soul / prostituting himself for the big bucks and yeah, he might be well off for the future but he's wasted so many years of his youth not having a good time.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
