Anyone can help me, provide info for:
Diploma in Building Services Engineering. (part time study at Kuala Lumpur/Selangor) either local u or private u or kolej or politeknik.
Thanks...

Hi, I hope you don't mind some advertising, but I'm offering some programming tutoring online. Might come in handy for Engineering students for have programming modules/electives. Do PM me if you're interested

I'm studying EE at UM.. anyone has questions do ask me.

Which year? Which stream, for UTM there are Electrical, Electronic and Mechatronic? How is the facility? What is the minimum cgpa to qualify?

UM theres only electrical. Im in 3rd year. Facility wise i think its fine
I got 4As for my Alevels.. 90% of my classmates got straight As in SPM and i think mostly got 4.0 in matrics. I dont really care about facility cause even if another uni facility is better, um is really hard to get into so our grads have quality

U got in via UPU or Direct-entry paying higher fees?

upu

What is upu

Unit Pusat Universiti or in English I called it as University Placement Unit for Diploma / SPM / STPM / Pre-U Diplomas. One of the main channels to enroll into Gov. uni.



This division was known as the University Placement Unit (UPU) from 1972 to 10 October 1995.

From 10 October 1995 to 31 December 2004 UPU was upgraded and known as the IPT Student Admission Management Division (BPKP IPT), Department of Higher Education.

From 01 January 2005, this division was rebranded and known as the Student Admission Management Division (BPKP).

Student Admission Management Division (BPKP), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education Malaysia is responsible for managing and coordinating student admission to Public Higher Education Institutions (Public Universities, Polytechnics, Community Colleges and Public Skills Training Institutes). This change is in line with the restructuring of the organizational structure of the Ministry of Higher Education on 01 January 2005.

Starting in 2019, BPKP is once again rebranded as the IPTA Student Admission Division. Student Admission Management Division (BPKP), Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education Malaysia is responsible for managing and coordinating student admission to Public Higher Education Institutions (Public Universities, Polytechnics, Community Colleges and Public Skills Training Institutes). This change is in line with the restructuring of the organizational structure of the Ministry of Higher Education on 01 January 2005.

Hello, I wanna ask, if anyone have info on universities that provide part time chemical engineering degree courses, from what I can gather

1. UTMSpace

Used to offer chemical engineering degree, but i think they discontinue due to low demand, or insufficient number of applicants so they are unable to start the course..

They do offer other engineering courses though

2. UNIKL Micet

They do offer Chem. Eng, but specialize in process and another is food

I tried searching and googling but can only find these 2...

For other engineering discipline, I know UTEM offers Mech. Eng only..

UTEM offers several other engineering programmes, not just ME. I suggest you check its website.

What future does electrical engineers have in this country ?

Hi, I'm 24 this year and curre ntly in 3rd year studying electrical engineering specializing in communications. Lately, I'm very disinterested in the course and I feel future outlook for engineers is bleak with fresh graduate unemployment is high. So any electrical engineers here can share your trajectory after graduation and do you enjoy it as a career because I'm thinking switching to finance after graduation. I feel like courses such as accounting and finance has greater ROI compared to engineering.

Tldr: Dissatisfied electrical eng. student want to know what future holds in engineering career.

Either you works in a major player company like Broadcom for manufacturing wireless technologies.
Else end up in Telco (Maxis/Digi/Celcom/UMobile/Webe™) or end up in Telecommunication Equipment Provider like Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE, else work in the kuli subcontractor field.

Please remember to register as an Electrical Engineer when you graduate so you can work in both Electrical and Electronics field.
I personally went to Huawei for Telco C project office for my internship, really great exposure on how non-technical things were.
No need to everyday bang head on monitor, why things doesn't work. Pay is good for Freshgrad also starting at RM 4k.

Anyhow, go transition yourself to become a Data Scientist / Machine Learning / AI expert, this field is relatively new. Try to make yourself familiar with Python. Else, IC design aren't going away anytime soon.

Go for IPTA, never go for midtier University for Engineering as their facilities isn't complete.

I would not say the electrical field is good or bad, it really depends on what kind of company you join and what kind of superior you under. To my experience, don't look down those small companies, which you can learn more and faster than you in a big organisation where you only do a part of overall function, but make sure you have a good supervisor to lead you. I believe it apply to most of the industries.

Hello there, since you're mentioning that you are specializing in communications, I would assume you are leaning more towards electronics especially RF stuffs. I would say your future are bright indeed if you willing to step down in Penang.

For RF communications, there are a few big MNCs that you can pursue such as Keysight and National instrument. These company are pioneer in creating and manufacturing electronic test and measurement equipment. They are the one that supply equipment that measure and characterize your devices with LTE or 5G. They are also the key players in 3GPP organization that defines 3G, 4G and 5G standards.

Besides RF if you are willing to branch out, you can learn more about field-programmable gate array (FPGA), VLSI, Verilog and stuff and you can pursue your career in IC design in maybe Intel, AMD, Western Digital, Micron, Nexperia etc..

Still not convincing enough? Learn more about computer machine vision in your uni and land yourself a career in Vitrox, Cortex robotics, Aemulus etc. They supply equipment to inspect IC or PCB end product. As the world electronic demand increasing every day, so does company that makes inspection system

You like hardware design? You can approach Jabil or Plexus where they are the ODM of some audio product that u can see in the market and medical equipment.

There are even more big RF companies that I did not mention above. If your uni allows you to take elective subject in your 4th years (i.e. assuming you are in a 4 years course), proceed to take machine vision, and IC design related subject.

tldr: Future is bright

Anyone who are clueless and not comfortable to discuss in the public can PM me as well.

Thanks for a very insightful info, will share out.

Nexperia is a company that I never heard of.

Mind explaining your background, and what you do?
Personally I'm graduating in April, gonna find a job. But then not sure what to pick between Electronics route or Electrical route.

Personally I don't dare to be under those technical maintenance route for Electrical. Because I'm worried of being shocked to death by electricity. And I few bad encounters in university projects that nearly fried my laptop, and zapped myself with 120V dc. hahaha.
Due to being really stupid on the dangers of electricity

Basically I don't think I live long working as an Electrical Engineer unless I don't physically touch live objects.

Hi, I just graduated as EE engineer on July 2020 and managed to secure a job in O&G (very rare, but possible)

My dilemma is probably a bit different from you as I am majoring in power system. Tbh, i think communication (I think it falls under electronics category) has a wide range of opportunity as opposed to electrical. Electronic, particularly communication is constantly expanding and improving, take Huawei for example. If dont feel like entering telco company, I think Intel (semicon) is a good run too. In fact, a lot of opportunity in Singapore offering electronics job over electrical.

Im not sure how you value disinterest in the course as in due to ROI or the works/skills that are needed as a communication engineer but I wish you all the best.
I have no comments on accounting/finance as I have no experience on it.

TLDR: I think electronics have a good future. No comments on accounting/finance.

Nexperia is a company that produce diodes, FETs, IO switches etc... hence u must be familiar VLSI, IC simulation tools layout tools and modeling yada yada

I graduated from a not so well known third tier university in Malaysia with degree in E&E engineering and landed myself a good job in one of the fortune 500 company in Penang. I mostly deal with hardware digital design and I'm currently happy with my job

If you were to ask me I would suggest you to go for electronics route as I'm an electronic engineer myself and yes I'm bias. I personally believe that electronic industry are quite resilient (i.e. not 100% tho) to pandemic as the demand are growing everyday. You see, the demand are so great that that now we are having a worldwide material shortage to produce ICs and it affects almost every IC packaging company.

ABF substrate shortage leads to low shipment of CPU and GPU

On top of that most of my friend that landed themselves in Penang with electronic company do not experience pay cut during this pandemic period and indeed its a blessing to us. A friend of mine working in Intel are currently working from home remotely at KL since march 2020 and still counting.

Since you are graduating in April, did you secured a job with the company that you previously/currently intern in? You can always share more about your interest, FYP and the subject you took in Uni and we can discuss which company that you can give it a try to apply for jobs however there are no guarantee.

Another thing to take note is that you might not ended up with the company you like/interested but in another way you can always grow your interest if you're willing to. Say for example I personally liked Intel very much and keen to join them after graduate however I did not ended up there. I ended up with my current company and I'm still happy with my employment
