Engineering

I am going into 5th year and hav to make my subject choices. I didnt do metalwork for the junior cert but would like to do engineering for the leaving cert. Would i be able to do engineering without doing metalwork???

one of my friends didnt do engineering for the JC and got a B1 in the leaving in engineering.
have you done wouldwork?

I would really go for it as im doin engineering in the leaving i did metalwork in the jc too. The theory is really easy same thing comes up every year and the practical is pretty straight forward with just marking out pieces and filing them down! Theres a few things but u could learn it all during 5th year.

Yeah i done woodwork. Does that have anything to do with engineering?

Woodwork isn't the most useful subject for LC Engineering. Tech Graph, Technology and Metalwork on the other hand are pretty useful.

That said, you should have absolutely no issue with LC Engineering. The theory exam is ridiculously easy if you put even the tiniest amount of work in to it. As for the practical element, you need to be good at visualising designs and fabrication processes. Woodwork will help with that.

In short, go for it.

what a lot of people dont realise is theres quite a bit of theory involved, so if youve a good memory and your able to study properly then you should do grand

aslong as you have done a practical subject you should be fine

go for it man its easy compared to languages etc... the practicle is easy enough to get used to just do as much as possible
