hmm... i wanna ask something there, these 2 courses, which one of them have the good job prospect in the future?

h...Don't know...but i plan to take CCNA network + Computer science

Definitely you can forsee what the future is coming by...
but to say a few...
Computer Science teaches you the fundamental and traditional techniques.. which means what you learn here will not obsolete that quickly
stuff like logics, algorithm, efficiency, etc etc which can be applied throughout the development of prog language lately...
If programming language is touched perhaps they will teach you a few..
and ofcourse i think you will leanr networking too..but not in depth... so basically its general... and you have a wider job choice

i am not too sure about networking course, but it sounds specific to me.... i hope someone can elaborate on that.. but CS is an excellent choice

From what I can observe in the industry now, more of our partner companies are looking at networking skilled I.T. Pros.

Like what Tm89 says, I do agree, Computer Science let you know more about the basics of the I.T. and the knowledge can be applied throughout your career. As for networking, this is more like a major. Meaning, you can choose to be more tactful in this area.

Today, the I.T. industry is all talking about how to get connected with each other, so in my opinion, having networking skill is really an advantage.

Nice Topic dude..

in my point of view , CS seems to be a wise choice bcaz u'd have wider range of jobs (which also includes Networking related field)


So after u graduate in CS,u can work in Networking related field , then with enough experience u can apply for bigger post in Networking related field.

Companies will look for experience rather than type of degree

Im planning to take CS At UTAR(Cheaper) but im quite worried ever since i heard that CS in Perak Campus is not Accredited(Someone please confirm this)

samliang,

Both of them are WRONG for you. If you LIKE IT and / or Networking, you will spend time learning about them even without taking a course. If you DO NOT LIKE IT / Computer Science / Networking, why do you WASTE your time on things that you do not like??

They will be LOUSY JOB PROSPECT for YOU since you do not like those area and you will do a BAD job.

Dreamer

the problem is i cant even see what is going to happen on me in the future. But, now i am taking foundation in IT, so the problem is after i complete my foundation i dunno which course among the 2 i should take, and i am from ART stream.. anyone can help me out here ??

hahhahaha i'm also same. stuck between choosing either foundation in computer science, or foundation in ICT. samliang, if you sure abt your foundation you can slowly think about your degree/ course later.

so u are enrolling to which college ?? and wat is the difference between foundation in computer science and foundation in SCT ??

and wat is the core subjects for computer science and networking ?

if I were you, I would just get a Computer Science degree. There is no point being so specialised in your Bachelor degree. The reason why so many people have trouble finding a job is that they end up with a qualification that is too specialised, but they don't have the fundamentals.

I'm not going to start on the while Computer Science vs IT debate here, but suffice to say, it is better knowing a little bit of everything rather than a lot of one thing.

pinjam tread a while
UTAR got oni science foundation rite?
got specific course for IT during foundation meh?

i thought cs is physics heavy, and a good result in pre-u physics is a prerequisite?........

is CS physic heavy? sounds fun........

CS is physics heavy? can somebody confirm lol.

i heard a lot of ppl taking CS and graduated.....so, really that hard meh CS?

Even at it's purest form (which does not exist in Malaysia), Computer Science is not really Physics heavy. With the exception of the traditional "pillars" of Computer Science (MIT, UC Berkley, CMU), not many universities need Physics as a pre-requisite for Computer Science.

That said, more universities do recommend some form of Science subject (Biology, Chemistry), as the skills you learn (logical thinking, hypothesis formation, result measurement) do help in contributing to a Computer Science degree. Certainly a grasp of Physics would probably make understanding the theoretical side easier.

But certainly, math is a must.

which IT course require physic? i mean heavy physic, those course which alot of ppl cannot tahan 1?

Anyone took Computer Science here? and i dun have any science background here ... so is it suitable for me ?

"Jack of all trades, master of none" vs "over-specialization leads to extinction" situation.

Usually no, unless your major requires it i.e. CS major in Computational Engineering like in NUS.

How's your discrete math and logic skills?

i am still in foundation le ... any advise here?
