Because I only thinking about electrical and electronic or robotic.This 2 will be my interest! try mechatronics..... I did mine for diploma.... but msia didnt offer degree so I major in mechanical..... mechatronics.... you`ll study computer programme, basic E&E, mechanical(heat, stress, fluid etc), control system(PLC etc), pneumatic&hydraulic system, design concept, material science etc...... but in the end.... in ends up where you want to be.. up stream or downstream or engineering? which mean design/manufacturing/practical/field stage?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,703 posts Joined: May 2007 From: where you need wings and awakened to reach	ya.... During my time in UK, then I realise that msia stressed too much.. I mean too much in academic scores which didnt really bother at all... ya... it matter when you are interviewing for a job... but who cares if you score A or not in the job site.... ahaha... What they care is what you know and how you deal with it.. with IQ and EQ... you cant be genius in the job site whereby all the people hates you I mean what`s the point of scoring A`s in thermodynamic but cant solve easy practical problem faced when repairing AC/refrigeration unit. that is why BEM is promoting PDP(professional development programe) Imagine that a certified programmer is stucked with using window 95 in the year 2011... get what I mean? and asking people to use windows 95 in new PC whereby stating that window Vista/window 7 is not feasible ans still new well, you take the shot....... and engineering is like all professional field... medicine, pharmacy, law...

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,703 posts Joined: May 2007 From: where you need wings and awakened to reach	yes.... when you have more practical than theory n concept, your standards equals to technician rather than engineer..... :/ but then... as it is with other field, engineering field is a fancy world out there.... you can be involve with concrete field and the world is just big... and steel... structural steel or reinforcing steel.... engineering about water, HVAC... the world is just too big... just depends on which are you want to be in at....

Added on August 23, 2011, 9:52 am QUOTE(chip92 @ Aug 21 2011, 02:32 AM) I totally disagree with you. Not any Tom d* and Harry can take up engineering my dear. Its not some salesman job which you can pick up in a day. Engineering requires high analytical thinking skills which is acquired from learning subjects such as chemistry, math and especially especially physic. If you do not even have the foundation of these cores how are you able to take up engineering ?? Just because you have LOTS of interest in engineering but you dont even have the foundation, how can you take up that course. Its really naive of you to say that. No offense. Think about it... I can say that i have interest in medicine but if i do not even have knowledge of biology or chemistry, how am i gonna survive that course in uni. You may say that with strong efforts brings you a long way IF ONLY IF your efforts are to learn the core science subjects. You definitely need to have the basics of chemistry and physics for engineering . Otherwise don't even do engineering. Just curious, So your lecturer holds a masters and only became a lecturer ?? Cant he apply his knowledge as an engineer to do research and all. Or is he just an ordinary teacher. What a waste. See what i mean by no foundation Yes and No.... Everyone can be interested in technical, but do not possess a degree from a fancy University. Just go to any job site, I can ASSURE you that if you compare a fresh grade who has a master compared to an uncle whom worked decades in job site and have no diploma or degree, but constant exposure to technicallity will be mroe competant compared to the fresh grad Added on August 23, 2011, 10:04 am QUOTE(BillySteel @ Aug 22 2011, 12:03 AM) Got to disagree with your statement there. Actually any Tom,d* and Harry can be an engineer provided they understand the fundamentals involved for a working mechanism. If they don't they aren't and cant be engineers! Say example a batik maker has knowledge of chemical process (example using colour dyes) and can be called an engineer also. But the only difference is he doesn't own a paper saying he is certified! Agreed.... P/S I am dealing with building materials and sometime in my job scope, I need to communicatewith Engineers from Contractor, Consultant etc and some with the degree arent so competant as their name card hold This post has been edited by Awakened_Angel: Aug 23 2011, 10:04 AM
