for the admission of MSc in Nuclear engineering, the pre-req is u must hv B degree either in engineering or science...I think B.Eng Chem Eng n B.Sc. are Physics is the best to consider for ur Bacheor degree if u r interested in nuclear engineering..

I'm planning for MSc. Nuclear Engineering as well, but maybe not in the near future..I'm still collecting information on nuclear engineering grad schs frm all over th world and how to gain admission to univ oversea...

Biotech seems to be expanding now in Malaysia with the establishment of the Biotech Corp, but maybe the prospect is better in down south..

Have you considered ALAM?

www.alam.edu.my

1st hand "EXPERIENCE'' of what what have been STUDIED???? maybe you should ask more about 1st hand experience of chemical engineers at work like what different engineers in different industry typically do? do they go offshore? what's they do everyday in chemical processing plant? what kind of industry required chemical engineers? Do they design reactor? do they study chemical reaction? or both? and how does chemical engineering different from pure chemistry and what's the difference with industrial chemistry?...that would be more interesting besides frm merely knowing what's the syllabus of bachelors in chemical engineering.

Perhaps the most popular industry among Chemical Engineers is Oil and Gas..I'm not sure with the upstream industry (drilling, exploration and etc), in the downstream industry (petroleum refinery, petro-chemical product production) there are more requirement for chemical engineers, besides oil and gas, chem engineers can also go to food industries, chemical production plant, bio chemicals, waste management, some of chem eng graduate involve the design of chemical production plant system like process flow, piping system, pumping, chemical reactor, and system for other process like evaporation, distillation and extraction etc etc..

As a chemical engineer, you can also take part in research position especially in advance material development, nanotech and etc. But, this research mostly still under nanotechnology, material engineering and chemistry. maybe Chemical engineers might concentrate more on the production.

Chemical engineers' demand is increasing with the growing trend of industry. So, if u think of chemical reaction in large scale production point of view, like to think of the process method of the series of reaction, Chemical engineering's right for u.

I'd suggest you to do more homework on what's the difference between chemist and chemical engineers.

Still involve physics...like thermodynamics

Post-PMR education start to be a bit flawed. Good PMR scorer get into science stream whether they have technical or scientific passion, and those who didn't do very well in PMR get into art stream even most are technically and vocationally inclined. They can go to tech and vocational school, but then the school is quite limited compared to daily sch....

Some of those who studied science stream continue their study either in social science and business. And some of those from art stream might wanna forget about science and technical and do well in SPM so that they can get to study in university, but surely in social science and business. But then most of those I know who perform so poor or those who don't like social science, literature and art continue their study in cert or diploma level and then further their study in B.Eng.

KPM seriously need to look again the edu system....

It's a normal path for those who are not academically inclined yet technically inclined student (must consider asperger and dyslexic students who may not be very good in academic but having srong obsession in specific subjects or skill especially technical skills) who don't have privilege to study physics and chemistry just because they didn't do well in PMR. ( Don't forget that in Malaysia, studying science is a privilege of high prestige even for those who have no scientific and technical passion)

So, what else can they do to pursue technical career when they don't have chance to study Physics and Chemistry. Remember that, in malaysia, there are not many technical and vocational school. So, maybe these not so bright student study art without having passion in art and literature for their SPM, and then taking diploma or certificate in engineering or technology after SPM. Most of them start their career using diplo,ma and cert as technicians, and some who are committed might take extra effort to study B.Eng. or B.Tech. or B.Sc. after gaining few years of technical experience.

Don't blame those engineers who didn't have privilege to study phys and Chem during school, sadly even some of those who study Phys, and Chem in secondary level also decided to "renounce" from scientific and technical field by choosing to study form 6 art and then continue their study in the field of social science, humanities, law, finance, or any non-tech degree course just after their SPM eventhough some are very good in their Phys and Chem. Is it a waste????


So, I think there shd be a policy change in term of science/art class placement. Either KPM make it compulsory for form 4 students to take at least Phys, Chem, Add Maths + Biology/Engineering drawing/engineering studies during SPM

OR

Ensure ONLY those with real technical, scientific passion and attitude enter the science stream.
