Engineering without Specialist maths?

I'm just wondering how having to do math 1050 as a prep course in first semester interferes with your timetable moving forward?
Would it be better do to 1051 and 1052 at the same time in semester 2 and just study harder or do 1052 in summer?

I'd rather not do the summer semester as it would limit my chance to do an internship after my first year.

Any input is greatly appreciated

Best engineering major in 2027?

I'm planning on studying engineering at uni next year and I'm wondering what the general consensus is for the best majors for future salary and employment?

To put it bluntly, I am after a fairly high salary role with solid progression into management and am willing to sacrifice in order to get this (i.e. working rural or fifo),

My top choices are currently

  1. UQ civil engineering (mining major)
  2. UQ electrical engineering
  3. UQ Mechanical engineering

Any input is greatly appreciated

Bike boxes and lockers/showers?

Hey, I'm going to study at UQ next year and I plan on riding to campus on my road bike, it's fairly expensive so I'm just wondering how easy it is to secure a bike box and how safe they are?
And also is it possible/easy to get a permanent locker for the year where I can leave spare clothes and shoes?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Electrical or mining engineering in 2027?

Don't know if this is the right place for this post, but I'm just looking to gauge opinions on whether I should study electrical or mining engineering next year at university?

My dad is in mining so I know first hand how well paying that career can be, but with Australia investing so heavily in energy over the next few decades, I feel like electrical engineer salaries will get to similar levels of mining?

And that job security in electrical is likely to be more stable than mining right?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Misfire help

my 2016 330i (b48) has been showing signs of misfires the last few days, 2 days ago I heard a weird pop sort of noise when I started the car but haven't heard it since and today I just saw on bimmerlink it misfired, but there are no error codes when I scan it.
I changed the plugs and coils about 2 months ago as well, if anyone can let me know what I should do/look for that would be much appreciated
