General Question Engineering at Mac

Hey guys just wondering how Mac U's engineering program is for employment outcomes.

I've been tossing up a few engineering fields but I think I'll go electrical so any specific employment outcomes for that specifically would be much appreciated.

The main reason I want to come here is obviously the great campus, which I've visited many times because... I live only a short walk away from here. I live among the Macquarie Park apartments near Macquarie Centre so yeah.

For some context, I'm looking to transfer out of UNSW to here after first year, just because everything was a bit too much, and the trimesters just magnified those issues. I understand that UNSW is removing them soon, but I still think that I would not be able to pass electrical engineering at UNSW if I were to undertake it. Travel time to UNSW is probably around 1 and a half hours in total, whilst for Macquarie, it would be barely 10-20 minutes walk. I know some people will tell me to stay but I am rather serious about me not being able to pass UNSW electrical engineering, at least for a while. Trust me, I know my where my capabilities start and end, and I don't think I would pass UNSW's elec eng at all.

Any knowledge on the workload and whether it's even easier than UNSW will also be much appreciated.

I'm not too obsessed over the social life and the like, pretty much just the employment outcomes.
