I'm quite interested with the going on's at QUT. The Urban & Regional Planning degree and the Planning department had been shuffled from Built Environment faculty towards the bright suns of Science and Engineering.
To what purpose? well, I get a lot more emails from QUT about Engineering and Science related activities, nothing to do with planning. I delete them. In fact, I've set up a filter to delete them and here's how you do it. Generally words like "engineering students", "science students" are clear filter points as they are targeting those groups. Or you could set another filter to seek "planning students" which then go into another folder.It's pretty basic really. maybe the value of Planning is on shaky ground with the absorption of the old faculty, heck they took away drawing boards, drawing subjects and human scale appreciation. So they create their own filter, one that draws out the classic virtues of planning, truth and justice, and smack it down to it's bottom dollar value. Give it a rinse, see what's left, grind that and then restructure it like it's a science or engineering degree.
No wonder some people have a hard time under harsh conditions.
