yea thats cos electrical engineering is poo Razz all you do is stare at oscilloscopes

yea i was at teh best college in the whole of aberdeen and aberdeenshire and it had its own engineering area probs about the area of two very big tescos and was quite af few floors. had its own car workshop in which you dismantled all the ruined cars out teh front and reassembled em. had about 70 lathes, mills, drills E.T.C in the mechanical block and the electrical part was like 6 storys high Razz

but then we were doing like an intro to engineering thing

If you're at RGU you'll find us electrical guys come in useful when you have a group project to do Wink

I don't know a Myles Gowen, sorry.

As I've never seen the Aberdeen engineering department I can't give you a balanced view but I'd recommend RGU.

RGU has a great employability rate. Engineering department is good as it has input from the industry and good facilities.

Regarding the teaching, one of the first modules I did required me to build a power supply (240V AC to 1-12V DC) then write a report and do a presentation on it.

My girlfriend who's doing chemical engineering (all engineering courses have the same 1st semester) at Aberdeen had an assignment where she was given the names of two engineers that lived in different times, then had to write 200 words on what they could have achieved if they had been able to work together.

I know which one of the above examples was more useful.

Timetabling and organisation are better at RGU.

My girlfriend use to go to RGU she didn't like the nutrition course she was doing and Aberdeen offers Chem Eng while RGU doesn't.

As my girlfriend just said to me:

'Aberdeen uni couldn't organise a children's tea party, well they could, but there would be no guests, no food and no tea.'

As I said, this view might be a bit biased but the organisation comments are from an Aberdeen uni student.
