If you have decided to enter Monash University Chemical Engineering Degree, then go for MUFY

This save your time

SPM leaver here, having a tough time choosing between engineering or comp. science hmm.gif

I fear i would be less interested afterwards. well i like gadgets, creating new things and innovation, as i saw mech. eng and electronic eng. projects which were really cool while comp science i guess you can learn to make apps and program robots or something?

im pretty indecisive and always change my mind easily sad.gif

If you prefer hardware like interaction on electronics stuff, then E&E is a good choice

Hey, what do you think about engineering courses at UTAR? Is it good in terms of reputation and employability? UTAR actually is one of the choices i have given that their tuition fee is really affordable compared to other unis. I went for an interview at UTP for chemical engineering course but I overheard of their mentioned they only picking 5 candidates for this intake. So i am so worried right now and I started to look for another university to pursue my degree. I am thinking about UCSI too for their chemical engineering course but their fee is double of UTAR's fee. Honestly i would prefer to opt for UCSI because of UTAR's chinese-speaking environment but in terms of quality of the course which oene do you think is better?

Quality wise, UTAR is better than UCSI.

However, you need to familiar with UTAR's chinese-speaking environment as per you said

1) Choose an established university with good alumni network. Ensure the choosen university or chosen programme won't close down, change name or being merged by other university in your life long career. It is embarrassed to look for a job by introducing your uni. and programme, which is being closed down.
2) Check the lecturer qualification and research outcome in the university. Good university will attract teachers with good reputation.
3) Ensure your programme is accreditated. Accrediated engineering programme is being rigorously audited by MQA and BEM. Your syllabus are generally established before your entrance. The programme has clear PEO (programme education objectives) and PO (programme objectives). All subjects you study are to satisfy PEO and PO. This programme should be internationally linked to Washington Accord and your credit hours are able to be transfered to most of the universities in developed countries.
4) Purchase education programme as an investment. Study what the community needs and you like. Then build up your further interests during the study. You will get rewards in term of salary and recognition from the community. Recognition makes your interests growing. Don't get your first job irreleavant to your study. If so, you dont need to invest so much for the chosen programme.
5) Life is an accumulation. Most students study the same thing s in SPM and STPM. Big career choice comes twice in life on chosing right first programme and first job. Choose a right programme to determine your future accumulation particularly your first job. Then bright future belongs to you!

I am thinking about going for the ME May intake program. These are few things which worries me because I don't speak/communicate in Mandarin, I am an Indian, I don't have any problem to mingle with my Chinese speaking peers actually as most of my friends in my secondary school used to be Chinese  smile.gif . But still there is a dilemma inside that I will be discriminated or what and how are the lecturers like?  sweat.gif, not trying to sound racist so please don't misunderstand me. I am going for UTAR because it will be convenient for me, fees wise are reasonable and standard of studies are quite good- from what I heard so far. What do you all think?

I have indian and african friends during my uni life. So, dont worry about it

Try to enjoy yourself in societies and make new friends biggrin.gif

Lecturers some are good, some are not. This happens in every uni.

Be sure to participate the orientation week for Peer Mentionring Program (PMP), because senior will provide some guide on uni life smile.gif

So I decided to join Nottingham Malaysia, but their Bachelor in Engineering with honours is only 3 years whereas other uni finish it in 4 years.

I would like to know if anybody knows how Nottingham manage to finish it in 3 years? and also the pros and cons of finishing your degree in 3 years instead of 4.

Thanks

btw, I picked mechatronic engineering... lol

Hi,

I'm currently still taking my SPM, but it's never too late to prepare for the future.

The courses I have in mind now is Mechanical, Electronics and Electrical Engineering. So wanna ask sifus here, what does these 3 branches of engineers actually do in their job? I've googled but still kinda cloudy about it. And what about the salaries? I know we shouldn't think about money when choosing career but it's great to earn money while doing the things you like. The course I'm considering now is E&E, as it seems like it has more job opportunities than electrical or electronics alone, am I wrong??

Personally I actually like software more than hardware, so I wouldn't choose Mechanical until I'm absolutely clear of what it's about. Do check out my video from the link in my signature, moving parts are built by my friend and the programming part is done by me  blush.gif

If you choose E&E, you will also need to choose either Electronic or Electrical

If you like software more than hardware, Electronic Engineering will be a good choice, which requires integration between software and hardware.

Hi!!!
I am a new member here.

I am interested to take Electrical and Electronic Engineering course.

Can someone here(especially as an undergraduate of E&E) to brief me about what am I going to study at E&E? I need some guide here. I need it badly. Is there project work for every semester or every year? Giving the flow of the entire life in university will be greatly and  really appreciated. If it is possible please compile it with which university you are in will be more informative.

I had heard some rumors from my friend's seniors claiming that it is not an easy course compared to chemical engineering a couple of days ago. I still doubt that what he tell me is true.

I can give some introduction for UTAR E&E.

There is project work for every semester. UTAR have 3 semesters every year. Workload is high compared to other private university, but u learn more compared to other uni graduates.

E&E field keep on evolving every few months, u need to learn the new stuffs as much as possible to cope with latest technologies changes.

UTAR Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Environmental Engineering

The programme is an interdisciplinary discipline with a combination of civil engineering and chemical engineering. The programme aims to produce environmental engineer who will be successful in modern engineering practice, intergrate into the local and global workforce, and contribute to the economy of Malaysia and nation. The basic mission of the programme is to provide the fundamental intellectual knowledge, when supplemented by professional experience that will provide the technical and interpersonal skills required to conceive, plan, design, and implement the systems needed to provide and ensure environmental protection for human health and the sustainability of our natural ecosystem.

Environmental engineers possess a strong commitment to the environment and they enjoy a career that allows them to improve it. The most successful environmental engineers have background in mathematics and science and are detail-oriented. Environmental engineers make significant contributions in the areas of civil, structural and waste resource engineering. Upon graduation environmental engineers will know how to communicate with engineering knowledge in a variety of problem areas in the engineering industry.

Professional in this fled work on issue like wastewater treatment, toxic materials control and air quality control. Duties vary by project and can include collecting and analysing data, performing quality control checks, evaluating and devising solution for environmental hazards. Environmental engineers will be communicating with municipalities, urban and rural communities and even be involved with water resource management in agriculture. They even will be an industry leader in implementing engineering and environmental policies and procedures.
