Poly course help

How much difference is there between combined science and pure science for poly aeronautical engineering in terms of chances of admission and difficulty in studying aeronautical engineering topics
-
no difference.
-
Also how much harder is pure science compared to combined science

pure science has 2 times the number of topics.
-
LOL. science is science, what pure or combined science. isnt physics and chemistry science? I am wondering if there is impure science

zz he is talking about O level syllabus, where there is pure science with the full content and combined science with 50% of the content as pure science.

I believe they do not judge you by what science you took for your o levels.
The thing they judge you is by your L1R4/L1R2B2, i.e. your aggregrate.Difficult of not depends on your on well you studied in your secondary school.
I will say if you really want to take aeronautical engineering, make sure your physics and mathematics understanding is good, to the point that i recommended that you study pure science or pure physics or at least have a very strong foundation on physics if you intend to enter aeronautical engineering.
Aeronautical Engineering in Poly is basically a Diploma focusing on the Mechanical side of Engineering, just that they are teaching you aircraft structures and other aircraft systems.
The reason for the need of strong physics foundation is because most likely there will be lots of physics like thermofluids, pressure, bernullio's eqn(however it is spelt), kinematics, dynamics, energy etc. I have took the module physics and scored badly, the syllabus taught to me is the same as A level physics
I am not from aeronautical engineering, but i have took one of their modules called aeronautical engineering science/fundamentals of flight.
It was the hardest module ever! It requires me to learn other mathematics from elsewhere to solve part of the problem.
But overall, i believe aeronautical engineering will be a very interesting diploma to take, and what you learnt from this diploma will give you the knowledge to attempt the SAR 66 paper to become a licenced aircraft engineer
Note:
Please do not confuse Diploma in Aerospace Electronics and Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering. Many people have queries on the difference between the two.Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering is more on the mechanical/aircraft structure side. It is generally more mechanical, i am not very sure about the details as im not from aeronautical engineering.
Diploma in Aerospace Electronics teaches you generally the electronics side, like autopilot system, aircraft servo mechanisms, aircraft landing system, the gyroscopes, sensors, how the electronics and feedback help to keep the trim tabs and flaps at position that will keep the aircraft straight and leve, and everything electronics that warn the pilot.
And ya, both the course will not enable you to be a pilot, if you are interested in becoming a pilot, please take the Airline Pilot Transport Theory Course
Hope your idea of aeronautical engineering is right!

Thx for the replies but I thought thermofluids is more of chemistry?

thermofluids is more towards mathematics calculation with emphasis on physics of fluids in thermodynamic branch, which is part of physical science.In simple terms, it means it's about calculation, physics, and a little mathematics.
-
Yes, like what Darkness_hacker99 has said.
Basically you will study things like thermodynamics, fluid dynamics etc.If you want to know what will be taught, you can go to the school's website and check the 'syllabus'
Will be choosing Singapore Polytechnic to study Aeronautical Engineering?
-
I guess so after all jus about everyone says it's the best for engineering
-
Guess should be almost the same for other polys as well.
They have been teaching for decades already -
when you can't convince, confuse.

the beginning of flight begins in china around 400 b.c as the forerunner of balloons and glides.....
