i'm interested in the computer engineering course..... doin my stpm this year... was considering alot of engineering courses available...
should i do it privately or through local government funded uni's ?

i have just finished my y2s1 in computer engineering at utar. i can confirm that the course structure and syllabus pasted by forumer abc2005 in pdf format is 100% accurate.



yup, basic digital systems knowledge such as verilog codes and assembly codes.
there are also analog systems such as circuit theory and electric devices.
you cant hide from maths lol besides fourier series/transforms, there are laplace series/transform and Z transform.

Since you're in STPM now, you should plan for it. What you expect to study in computer engineering course?

Between private and government, if you have money, sure you can go for private, if not, then government is your only choice. I'm graduate of government uni. Since you're in STPM, the duration of course is same even you go for private or government.

For government uni, I think there're only few uni offer this course. UPM and UKM offer Computer and Communication Engineering, UTM and UMS offer Computer Engineering and UNIMAS offer Electronic and Computer Engineering. I'm not sure about UM now, 5 years ago, they didn't offer.

will my degree from a private UNI such as MMU be better than a degree from a local uni lets say UKM ?

I don't think there's difference on the degree...
The difference maybe is, you no need go for STPM if you study in MMU, but you have to spend 2 years for STPM if you want to study in local uni...

TARC also have computer engineering but it called microelectronics instead

The course nama actually is different from uni to uni. The important thing is the content and syllabus of the course.

I'm planning to do either Computer Science or Electronics & Computer systems engineering in Monash .... does anyone know if the elec & compu sys engineering is the "computer engineering" we're talking about?

I'm really confused here... I'm more into hardware than software.... they have given me 3 options.. which are computer science, elec & computer system engineering and software engineering...

I'm not sure about Monash. I'm graduate of elec and computer engineering. This course is more to electronic, I can say. The syllabus include digital, analog, basic programming, microelectronic, VLSI, signal processing, data communication, telecommunication, control system, microprocessor, microcontroller, embedded system design and so forth. Computer engineering actually studying about the microprocessor thing, and circuit of IC or PCB board...for my case, I study image processing and neural network as well.

Computer Science and software engineering is dealing with software and programming, nothing about hardware.

hmm i left 6 more months till i graduate but just diploma....
im still searching around for some local pri U...
budget around 50k... any recommendation???
more prefer hardware part....

If you're studying computer engineering diploma, maybe you can try MMU...There's computer engineering degree course, I think the fee is around 50k for whole course...I think MMU is quite good among private uni in M'sia.

You may try the site below, see if you can find what you're looking for.

thx alot mcloh.... and nice link ^^....
ok i search around but still cant find the syllabus ... i think i have to go down kl next week to get more detail about this....

MMU
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Electronics majoring in Computer K 0050 / KR 5197

majoring in computer means more into programming right???

Yes, you should find out the syllabus.
Electronic Engineering majoring in Computer, I don't think it's more into programming. It's more into electronic. Should be majoring in computer architecture, such as microprocessor, VLSI and so forth...
