Hi there. I'm new to this forum.
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

Hey , thanks. what a prompt reply!

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

I tot i misunderstood that wef meaning previously...
For what reason they would have this kind of system in place T.T

isnt it the bem accreditation initial purpose is to make sure no students will enroll into the not recognized courses? So now with that being said , is it no private unis will not hv to 'worry' and all will be a bit 'risky' now?

I really gg now , dono how to choose.

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 =]

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.

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accreditation status is withdrawn, then what will be the status of the degree that a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such an extent that accreditation is withdrawn.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.

haha , okay . Thanks for your info

I'll think about everything again from now until i get my spm result ,
still looking for direction in the middle of the ocean

btw , you dont like ur engineering job? i saw that u said u jumped from an eng to become an app developer .

oh well, learned sth today

hope u all the best and btw , u re developing games ?

Hi , few questions here..

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.

A-level is quite hard to get into IPTAs , am i correct ... ?
Actually i was planning to get a scholarship to study A-level and then apply for NUS / maybe NTU , but it all subjects to if i get my scholarship for a-level. Should have taken my tenth subject. 9As will only eligible for 50% scholarship -.-

Dont like STPM cos the pa. im sure things happened during my spm like memorizing , cramming all facts will be happened all over again in my STPM. so trying to avoid it.

Btw , u develop mostly iOS apps ?

Hi guys ,

I just saw you guys mentioning the minimum STPM CGPA to enter some of the engineering courses , but how about the CCA part?

Since I wasn't really that active during Form 1 to 3 , so my koko grade wasn't that high for SPM. The most i can get is a B for STPM

Will my chances still be high to enter the competitive engineering course providing if I hit the CGPA for STPM but only with a koko grade of B?

Hmm , after a thorough research , I've changed my mind and it's Chemical Engineering.

Thanks.

Anyone cares to shed some lights?
