Hi all..
i got offer from both university in electrical engineering.Just want to ask for opinion which one is more good in
a)Facility
b)Living cost
c)Credit transfer if applicable
d)Anything else u want to add

here is the offer

1) Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia
Location:Parit raja batu pahat
Course:Sarjana Muda Kejuruteraan Elektrik
With hostel

2) Universiti Teknologi Mara
Location: Shah Alam
Course:Sarjana Muda Kejuruteraan Elektronik
Without hostel

I am a diploma holder from polytechnic in Mechatronics Engineering.So the credit transfer from diploma is very important for me.
all opinion are welcome ..thanks

Shah Alam has higher living cost...trust me....
me myself study in UTHM....
got many facility close to it...
around Parit Raja got banks, restaurant and all that....

what course u doing in UTHM?
any info regarding credit transfer from polytechnic student?

about the credit transfers for poly student, i think can get a lot of exemption....
i know from some of my friends from poly.....

i took diploma in mechanical engineering....
final year already but will continue Degree there....

For living cost, you should know the answer already. Things are cheaper around UTHM, plus hostel provided as you mentioned. If you want to rent houses around Shah Alam, it's going to dry your wallet.

UTHM is just some 30-40 minutes away from my hometown too, lol.

uitm shah alam ftw.
closer to kl, cheap fees, ok facilities.
and credit transfer is not a problem iinm.
i dont really know bout uthm.

i suggest you consult both uni faculty regarding the credit exemption

when im entering utm lots of my friends having problems to transfer credit due to certain problems. eg lack of credit hours (especially poly dudes)

overall it can impact your total semester

In UUM, it's non-poly people that are having trouble, and I'm one of them. Sad cannot transfer. Poly-bias.

note that the electrical engineering and electronics engineering are different.
they study different subjects inside.

yes the credit exemption is my problem now..
uthm i think no worries about the exemption..only uitm i heard poly student cannot get exemption
living cost as i assume uitm will cost more eventhough the fees are cheap
any info regarding food price around uthm?

yes i already noted that..both are different but not much different since its stil in E&E engineering
and i dont mind learning electrical or electronics

i would say UTHM would be a better choice compared to UiTM as UTHM is a technical university where their programmes are practical experience orientated.

All the best to you

haha, they study similar subjects in first and second year.
but third and fourth year they start to separate and study different subjects.

is UTHM still use 40% final and 60% carry mark?
any info?

so..it's all about credit transfers huh?

yes..

hi if there are anybody around.. senior / uthm grad report in AGAIn

any reviews bout diploma in mechanical engineering? i just got the offer. by doing tis diploma i can skip the 1st yr of mechanical engineering degree right?

Can anyone tell me the lecturer there good? The education there good? I have being offered for mechanical engineering,is it ok?

hi, i just receive an offer from uthm , but the course is pengurusan teknologi(pengeluaran dan operasi) , so, if there is any senior here, pls do reply, i just wanted to know about the course and the lecturer. Hows the environment at uthm and are they places to relax(lol i mean leisure thing , study need relax too right?) thank you

no relaxation place. UTHM is near to batu pahat. Ur only entertaintment will be Batu pahat, The store. Jb is too far from there
