hi,

yea, you can do that, but make sure your diploma ( maybe 2 years) will make more sense in uni , i mean, if you study 2 years of diploma in Tarc, and Utar requires you to continue engineering at second year, then you rugi one year.

To be frank, its quite important to make sure the course you study are accredited by BEM, but if you plan to work in other country, obviously they recognize your external degree rather than local uni degree. But for peace of mind, you need to make sure of the accreditation to work locally, like those MNC.

But, why dont you call Intel HR, and then tell them you're from which course, which UK uni, ( from Tarc courses for example), and ask them if they recognize it? easier right? ^^

Mind tell me more bout how an civil engineer may qualified to open his own firm? and how long it takes to become an IR?

can anybody briefly explain what is manufacturing engineer? thx..

One question i want to ask about engineering. Let say if u take an engineering course at UTar which is not accredited by Board of Engineers Malaysia, what are the disadvantages?

i tot utar is accredited by board of engineers malaysia? correct me if im wrong.

You just need to spend five minutes to get an answer for your question.

At first, I thought about taking pharmacy...However, after I went to IMU open day and half a mini tour on pharmacy learning place....It seems I gonna do the same routine everyday in the lab .Then I start to notice that I hate lab work ...

Then I start to thought about Engineering.So, I wen to take career test in counseling centre. But I found out my 'Realistic' is terrible....<--not suit for engineering, that what the counselor say. The test show me I show go for 'Law' but my English and memorizing skills is terrible >.<.

But then, I go ask my physic teacher,she used to be working in mechanical engineering field. She said that you don't really need to use hand to do. Just use your brain to think to solve the problem. This enlighten me to pursue mechanical engineering.

Do u guys really think I should go for it?

My AS grade : math A Physic A Chem A Bio B

xShinji,

Read the first 3 pages of this thread to get an idea whether you are suitable for engineering. If you are TOO LAZY to do this, you are DEFINITELY not suitable for engineering.

Dreamer

sry >.> ....just want to confirm my future career.(NTU application time closed soon)Since I actually thought never thought on engineering field b4(Influence by family to take medicine field)

Read up about the whole thread. Din't know that MechanicalEng has so much advantage. I guess I just need to set up a resolve.

Hai!!!!
I am a STPM leaver!!!

Have anyone heard of biomedical engineering???

I need some comments about this field for future???
Is it will be a good course to study in Malaysia???

what is the difference betwen electrical, electronic and electrical & electronic engineering? i see most of the employer looking for electrical engineering degree holder rather than electronic engineering degree holder. what are the pros and cons of these courses? thnx

I'm interested in materials engineering. Can anyone tell me more about it and maybe share some experience? thanks a lot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_engineering


Well, I'm not a materials engineer, but one of my classes this sem is a materials engineering course. what im learning about is basically a lot about the structures of materials on different scales, and how properties are affected by different factors, such as rate of cooling and such. personally, not exactly my cup of tea, the materials part. reminded me a bit about chemistry minus the reactions.

love to know too. and please, don't give me some wiki links, want some personal experience and opinions please.
thanks.

Want something that initiates your fun to engineering?

http://www.dyson.co.uk/

this company already in malaysia for more than 10 years and going strong. Currently they are hiring.

http://my.jobstreet.com/jobs/2010/3/d/10/992112.htm?fr=J

search more for dyson product in google. And who says normal engineer cannot make money? if you experienced 3-4 year, can go to 4-5K. and of course this is electrical company.You can get more if you go to Offshore and alot more.

PM me if you interested and give your resume. (haha..i make advertisement here-but still it's related)


*don't you like the new ideas and make it real?
**sorry to say,engineer is born to make things real.

2) Problem arise when you appy for IR, or goverment sector..then this is serious matter.

Added on March 13, 2010, 2:37 amSince no one answering al the questions, then i like to answer,please free to add, or shoot if you want..haha..i answer what i can. For sure, there alot of people out there can answer, but i am the one who writing, so just add any points.

1) I'm interested in materials engineering. Can anyone tell me more about it and maybe share some experience? thanks a lot.

Material engineering more to determine material, characteristic and properties for all material. Hopefully, you will study and propose the best material for using in specific condition. Eg, what is the material for you car bumper? why? can it change to other materials? why? it keep u going bebeh

2)what is the difference betwen electrical, electronic and electrical & electronic engineering? i see most of the employer looking for electrical engineering degree holder rather than electronic engineering degree holder. what are the pros and cons of these courses? thnx

electrical-general,high power current
electronic- for electronic and samll current such TV, radio

Pro-wether you take electrical or electronic, you taking a specific courses, better take both so you can work at both areas.

Seriously, that the only surface infor i can give, hey electrical engineer answer this please!

3) Have anyone heard of biomedical engineering??? I need some comments about this field for future???
Is it will be a good course to study in Malaysia???

Again, this is very specific course. But still, part of the study (maybe 3 out of 5 years ) contain same content as other electrical engineering.
They just added up with some courses specific with medical compliances.
Good course? Hmm..right now ,not a very high chances for vacancies, but since this is rare, you can get alot with this certificates if you working at the right place-example, philip medial. Never heard of it? google.

4)Mind tell me more bout how an civil engineer may qualified to open his own firm? and how long it takes to become an IR?
-to be qualified open own firm-no problem. registered then open a company loo
-how long to become IR-this is the best part.
you need approximately 3 years. Start from registration and then monitored for 2 year with requirement to attend some courses by IEM.
-I think this topic has been discussed in lowyat. Check!



ok..any question? google before you asked.
Thanks

u said it is better to study electrical and electronic engineering rather than electrical or electronic engineering alone? i heard ppl said it is better to study a specified course becuase if u study a combined course like mechatronic engineering, u r actually studying mechnical and electronic engineering together with a same amount of time if u study a specified course. as a result u only learn 50% of each topic. is the same concept apply to electrical and electronic engineering? correct me if im wrong.
another thing is, if i study electronic engineering in utar which is accredited by the BEM, after i graduate in utar i have to register with bem only then im qualified by bem or take exam or non of above?

UTAR is accredited by BEM. FYI, all professional courses like engineer, must be accredited by BEM or u can't practice engineering in Malaysia.
http://www.bem.org.my/v3/listofaccreditedprogrammes.html >>> see UTAR

For Zict reply, I think he meant JPA, if u want to work for government, ur courses must be accredited by JPA. Do check their website to see your programme is accredited or not.

hi all sifus here, just got my SPM results few days ago and I got A- for physics, B for chemistry and B+ for additional maths. the question is, do you think I could handle the challenges in studying engineering? my parents afraid that I can't survive with the maths thingy in engineering. i really love playing with computer, engine and all those techno things so pls advise. thanks

ya, im afraid i cant handle the maths or physics too.

What kind of engineering are you planning to study?
If you're worried about your maths then i suggest you take a general pre-u qualification(A Level or SAM and etcs) and see your options there if you can handle the physics and the maths part of pre-u, pay particular attention to calculus. Heaps of them in engineering.
