u/Parking_Possession49: “How hard is physics in first year of university compared to grade 12 physics that you learn in high school? Is there anything new that you learn or is it just energy and momentum, forces, projectile motion and stuff?”

Jun 30, 2022 What courses are considered easy or difficult in the 1A term for Civil Engineering? 3 points, 5 comments

“Starting 1A this September, so just curious what courses people found easy or difficult in them. How long of times did you spend weekly, outside of class studying for these courses?”

u/CreepyWindows: “… CIVE 104 - Mechanics 1 - Half Weighted. Easy course. If you're interested in civil, you will probably find this course easy and interesting. CIVE115 - Linear Algebra - Half weighted. Has difficult concepts but is overall easy if you keep up. …”

u/UnsquabbledToast: “… cive104 - hella disorganized. do the practice problems, go to office hours, look at youtube tutorials, and you should be fine. cive115 - practice practice practice!! try the tutorial problems the day before, work on them in the tutorials with friends. …”

Apr 17, 2022 Waterloo or UofT for Civil Engineering 0 points, 25 comments

“I do not know which one to choose, I'm leaning towards UofT right now as Waterloo's coop program seems extremely exhausting”

u/IcyProfit03: “No one will give you an unbiased answer since this is the Waterloo subreddit. Do what's best for you in the end I will not lie, the Waterloo Engineering experience is stressful and the coop interview …”

u/IcyProfit03: “… for CIVE 104, basically skim the Easy/Useful ratings and there is generally some helpful comments there. …”

u/Intense_Stare: “… CIVE 104 Mechanics 1 (Rania Al-Hammoud) Summary: “Use a force balance dumbass” Joke course, you literally only use force summation and moment equation. The statics questions are easy, and you don't even have exams. …”

“I struggled in my 104 course but I understand the basics. My prof for 105 is wei chau xie and I'm not sure if I should be stressed. …”

u/ReplEH: “… CIVE 104 was the worst put together course and was honestly a waste of time. Wei-Chau is amazing and he will basically go through all the content you cover in CIVE 104 in the first week or two, but in a way that you actually understand the content. …”

Sep 10, 2020 Statics and Mechanics of Materials Textbook use 0 points, 4 comments

u/123joker123: “So this is the only textbook I got (for CIVE 104) because I usually like to have a physical copy while working with physics related problems. But after looking at my course syllabus it seems like most of our marking is based on projects and assignments. …”

u/guacamole_ball: “Who’s the author?”

u/guacamole_ball: “ya u wont need it for future courses, just return it. Civils use a different textbook for mechanics which can be used for cive104,105 and 204. Unless they changed the textbook this year, u wont be needing the textbook u hav”

“I'm going into Civil Engineering first year. Can someone give me a brief description of the professors, their personalities, or what they like, stuff like that?”

u/MeinGottWasZumTeufel: “… Rania al-Hammoud (CIVE104) - Really nice person, teaches alright. Didn't like some of her assignments, but it wasn't too bad. Burcu Tuncer Karabina (MATH116) - Didn't really like her since she made some mistakes, but she wasn't too bad overall. …”

Jul 14, 2019 Transferring between engineering programs 4 points, 5 comments

“I'm starting in the civil engineering program in September. But I feel like mechanical engineering is more of a passion for me. So I am considering switching to mech. …”

u/alt-goldgrun: “… Civil 1A: CHE102, CIVE115 (linear algebra), MATH116, CIVE100 (similar to ME100 I suppose?), CIVE104 (mechanics 1), ENGL 191/SPCOM191 (counts as a CSE, which can be counted for any engineering program) Mechanical and Civil 1A are extremely similar, so if you manage to transfer …”

u/nathan_tg_: “I actually believe I would have to do ME 100 still. And I don't think cive 104 is exactly equivalent to phys 115. Do you know what kind of grades I would need? And do you know if space in the program will be a problem?”

u/alt-goldgrun: “… my experience was that they are pretty relaxed about counting equivalents, and PHYS115 and CIVE104 are similar enough. And for ME100, there is at least one transfer to my class (mechatronics), where they transferred directly into my class after 1A, and took 1B with us. …”
