Yup. Because USM is APEX status need different application. My advice is better you choose USM application and prepare UPU too just in case.

QUOTE(CallMeBin @ Feb 18 2014, 09:27 PM) PIN for USM can be bought in BSN too ? Normally people get USM will not choose UPU anymore. Because you choose distinct choice in USM.Alright. If I got chosen to USM, do I still have the chance to choose UPU ? (in case I reject the offer) You need go through a test and interview for USM. I'm not sure where to get the pin. Sorry about this. |

QUOTE(Bean17 @ Feb 19 2014, 05:25 PM) Hi there. I'm new to this forum. First, you need see those universities of private or public is accredited by BEM.Okay , i know this is a stupid question but Im actually wondering whats the difference between a bachelor degree in mechanical eng from a private uni , for instance UTAR and the one from our public university ? Will the one from public uni have the edge compared to that of private uni? Before u guys start shooting at me , i just want to inform that i have tried my very best googling this topic. Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my question http://www.bem.org.my/v3/listofaccreditedprogrammes.html Check the link above. If the engineering course is not accredited mean it's worth nothing. Public university academic fee is very cheap compared to private. RM1.2k for every sem included hostel in USM engineering because most of the academic fee supported by government. For career wise, I think almost the same. Just certain company prefer certain university. That's all. |

QUOTE(Bean17 @ Feb 20 2014, 12:48 AM) Hey , thanks. what a prompt reply! Hi,Yeah , i know bout the BEM from reading this thread okay , just take an example , for utar http://www.eac.org.my/web/document/list%20...12.2012)%20.pdf there is sth that confuse me about the With Effect From 2009 (Graduate Year) it is accredited by BEM for the latest gradute year which is 2013 - 2014. so i wonder how can we know that our graduate year will also be accredited by the BEM ? hmm, do u mind elaborate more about the 'certain company prefer certain university' statement ? Thank you very much and hope that u don mind i ask so many questions at one time <<there is sth that confuse me about the With Effect From 2009 (Graduate Year) it is accredited by BEM for the latest gradute year which is 2013 - 2014.>> W.E.F 2009 - mean starting from 2009 accreditation on engineering course based on graduate year. BEM will come your university and accredited your course. If fail, then gg. As simple as that. Just before this, they come early.. Now change to come late to accredited the course. Before 2009 eg. 2006-2008, accreditation based on intakes years (see the pdf again). Meaning that if university get accreditation on 2007, your intake year also 2007.. Mean you will graduate safely without worry anything. <<hmm, do u mind elaborate more about the 'certain company prefer certain university' statement ? >> For example Intel do like to recruit UTM students because their study syllabus is preferable by Intel. Some engineering like Mineral & Resources from USM have very high demand from those mining company etc because other universities unable to provide such graduates. |

So i suppose ure a public uni graduate , am i rite? would u mind to tel me what field r u in? Last but not least , thank you again =] EAC accreditation is to ensure that graduates of the accredited engineering programmes satisfy the minimum academic requirements for registration as a graduate engineer with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and for admission to graduate membership of IEM. Why EAC Accreditation is important? Accreditation helps students and their parents to choose quality college programmes. Accreditation enables employers to recruit graduates they know are well-prepared. Accreditation gives colleges and universities a structured mechanism to assess, evaluate, and improve the quality of their programs. I'm graduated from USM, engineering. |

QUOTE(Bean17 @ Feb 20 2014, 02:53 PM) Their first aim < Accreditation helps students and their parents to choose quality college programmes > and the following FAQ sound a bit controversial for me. It's like if ur course fails to get accredited , thats it u , go dai. You see those universities have good track records will be fine. Mostly, they know how to pass the accreditation.FAQ No 16. If a student enrolled in any accredited programme, but later on during the programme the accreditation status is withdrawn, then what will be the status of the degree that a student gained? Accreditation with the BEM is voluntary. However, MQA requires all programmes in Malaysia to be accredited. If it happens that the programme is not accredited, there is not much recourse except the graduate may sue the University for not maintaining the standard to such an extent that accreditation is withdrawn. That is why it is the best that you look for universities with good track records. |

QUOTE(Bean17 @ Feb 28 2014, 01:04 PM) Hi , few questions here.. <<So whats there for the fresh graduates?>>First and foremost , it is about that career prospect in the mech.eng field. Ihave checked the employability of mechanical engineer thru the newspaper and saw most of them require a minimum of three to four years experience in the related field . So whats there for the fresh graduates? Is it the internship programme? Can u enlighten me on this internship matter since i do not know anyone who had studied eng in a uni bfore in my 'real' life. Also , for mech eng, can u recommend me afew of the unis which are reputable of their edu qualiities? Both public and private. Am i correct that its the usm or utm for the public unis? Btw, have u ever heard of Heriot Watt uni malaysia campus? I contacted them after reading their ads in the star. According to their 'employee'(i used whatsapp) , they are yet to be accredited by the bem and its the rocedure of every new uni. She also said the current year one will only receive the provisional accreditation tilll their graduate year only will they receive the full recognition. Is it true and r they reputable for their quality of edu ? Im really sorry for this long post and once again distrb u . I just want to make sure which one is the best route/move as im not from a well to do family. I have a very deep interest in engineering ,even a 'simple' steam engine will intrigue me alot of how it works. Yup, there are job for freshie too, just apply those 1 year exp or fresh grad job <<Is it the internship programme? >> Internship is industrial training before you graduate from University, normally you will go for internship during end of 3rd year. Engineering need to study for 4 years. You will apply a job and work around 3months, some university 6 months and exposed to engineering working environment. <<for mech eng, can u recommend me afew of the unis which are reputable of their edu qualiities?>> USM, UM - You can get in using A level / STPM / Matrix https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=3871210 To be safe, cgpa around >3.7 to 4.0 in STPM will get you there. << Am i correct that its the usm or utm for the public unis? >> Yup <<Btw, have u ever heard of Heriot Watt uni malaysia campus?>> Never heard of, and if they have yet accredited by BEM, just forget about this choice. |

QUOTE(EricYong! @ Mar 4 2014, 01:39 PM) Can anybody tell me what's the difference between UNMC's 4 years Master engineering programme and other engineering programme offered by other uni like UTP, UTM etc where getting a bachelor needs 4 years? Every engineering to be accredited by Board of Engineering Malaysia need to study at least 4 years.For nottingham, http://www.eac.org.my/web/document/list%20...10.12.2013).pdf Only master degree was accredited by BEM. You will get master at the end of study. 3 years course, you can get bachelor degree, but not accredited by BEM. So, you need to take 4 years course like Master. Whereas, other uni, you will get a bachelor degree. It's same approach, but 1 get master in UNMC and 1 get bachelor in other uni. |

QUOTE(EricYong! @ Mar 4 2014, 02:10 PM) Which means a BEng and MEng from USM has 2 certs, whereas UNMC's BEng/MEng has only 1 cert which is master? Engineering course must need 4 years, requirement stated by BEM.But why other unis need another extra year to get BEng? Modules different? So, UNMC's bachelor 3 years is not accredited by BEM which is a kind of syok sendiri cert. But as long as the engineering is 4 years then BEM may be approve the course. Like MEng of UNMC. UNMC is like a shortcut course only. If your course don't have accreditation from BEM, in the future you can't apply for professional engineer. You cert is same like those non-engineering general cert only if no accreditation. For master in engineering like those USM, there are 2 approach to get it, via research or study. Yup, USM have 2 different certs for MEng and BEng. Edit: For degree which is not recognised (e.g. 3 years programme) need to be top up with a master degree by instruction from accredited university.

QUOTE(EricYong! @ Mar 4 2014, 02:42 PM) So, is a BEng (4 years) from USM/UTP or MEng (4 years) from UNMC better based on employment after graduate? I stay as neutral on this subjective question.It's merely based on the quality of students on future employment matters.

QUOTE(HillYap96 @ Apr 1 2014, 05:10 PM) Engineering Diploma holders of the School are exempted from relevant papers in the BEM/IEM Examination, what does this mean? QUOTE The IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations is for assessment of candidates for admission to Graduate membership of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia. This Graduate Examination is organised by The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and supported by the Board of Engineers, Malaysia. The IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations is conducted solely to comply with the requirements for Graduate membership of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and hence to registration as Graduate Engineers with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia. The objective of holding the IEM/BEM Graduate Examinations is to provide an opportunity for Malaysians to achieve professional status through local professional examinations. Meaning that, students do not need to take this examination from that school. The reason maybe you will continue the study for degree, and the degree is accredited by BEM. |

QUOTE(walaua94 @ Apr 30 2014, 05:44 PM) Hi, here to ask some may-off-topic questions, recently im a STPM leaver and waiting for IPTA intake... i'm interested in engineer (civil the most), Just ask To secure your place in civil engineering even in top IPTA universities, you only need around 3.5-3.7 cgpa in STPM.1. If i complete my study with architecture in IPTA, can i study civil engineer (degree) again in IPTA? (no money to IPTS) 2. If can, which route shuld i go to the admissions? Adult class? Which cert it refer to? Does it still need my old STPM result? 3. Can i take major + minor or double major or double degree in IPTA? (Heard from others is no.) Just ask these because scared cannot get civil engineer course in IPTA. =( heard competitive in civil without 4 flat. Civil engineering is one of the lowest cgpa needed in Engineering among other engineering like Electrical, Chemical, Electronics, Aerospace etc. Some questions hard to answer because different universities may have different rules. For example, USM do not have major, minor in engineering faculty. |

My english teacher told me i should go for writing but i love physics and math more than english, can anyone help me? Take your first choice, computer hardware engineering.i m a form 5 student now excel in physics, chemistry, english, add math (only in homework) and ICT Automotive is promising but I don't see that is what you want, so, just ignore that choice.
