Intergration and differentiation is the two topic that are quite easy for me..
Think I can manage that.
What are the requirement to pursue this course? How many A's
Which universities do you recommend? Uitm or UTM?
*
No, SPM level intergration and differentiation shouldn't be used to compare. Its like comparing primary1 maths to SPM maths. Yes that drastic.

Do A-Level/STPM maths first, then decide

Anything is as hard as you want it to be, just think positive(trust me its not some BS successful people tell you).

IMHO there will be no future for any nuclear tech in Malaysia, same went for Aerospace program *ahem*. Firstly we don't have the resources, time, money, skills, support for a nuke program. Coupled by 'Islamphobic' by America (only Muslim country I know off has nuclear is IRAN) will definitely rule out Indonesia. Singapore would rather spend their resources on more water purification plants (to reduce dependency on Malaysian water) and don't have the land.

Telecommunications engineering (if I'm not mistaken Maxis wanted to give scholarship to student) but if we have Telco's definately we need telecom engineers right?

Pakistan has an armed and ready nuclear weapons arsenal.

Besides, nuclear tech has many applications way beyond military use eg. medicine and materials

i meant in secondary now , i have huge troubles with addmath , my addmath grades are very bad

Having trouble because difficulty understanding the content or disliking the subject?

If it the latter, perhaps you should look into other things. If it is the former, all is not lost, just work harder! rclxms.gif

Yes u should if u have a heart for it. Engineering is not 100% utilizing addmath. I did civil & went to learn about numerical analysis, those engineering maths (fourier series etc). In the end none of those is really practically used. 1 thing for sure is..unit conversion..must master that!
*
Fourier series deal with dynamic systems, of course you wont use often civil. Your structures are not suppose to move! biggrin.gif

Told you its easy to score in polytechnic so I'm not  struggling at all  whistling.gif ........Fun? yes when it comes to problem solving rolleyes.gif ...but really sucks when it comes to programming or some software... laugh.gif

at my final project, I realize programming is really important....that's why taught engineering may not for me....some part of me dont want to let it go but some part of me said I should just take it easy and change to much easier course like business management..... tongue.gif

You can always choose to further your studies in less programming intensive engineering fields. Though there aren't many options for that in E&E.

Electric and Electronic - settle the code for program in microchip to decide when it should turn on and off (computer related)

But I thought coding is done by computer sc grads?
NO?

The physical implications of the code and its decision making, for example, in a manufacturing plant would be out of the scope of computer science.

hi,
this means it involve a little bit of computer science...or the network in this course is a different one?
this course sounds interesting to me and i feel the evolution is going to be great.

Well, digital telecommunication needs to be interpreted by computers so you might say so. There will be alot of
protocols that you'll need to learn AND code. Fancy coding the TCP header? biggrin.gif

Quick question: I did not take Further Maths in A-Levels. So I guess Engineering is out? Or are there specific courses which the non-FM taker should stay away from?
*
Nope, engineering does not require further maths background.

Sure it helps, but the gap between the first engineering math unit you will learn in uni to A-level Math isn't that huge. Many will cope just fine.
Myself, I'm doing electrical engineering now, I didn't have further maths in A-levels and found no problem whatsoever.
There are other engineering content which will cause more problem.

Actually I'm ok with all those choices, but to be honest I love Automotive since bikes & cars are my passion. Just want a clearer picture of what my future is going to be if I take one of them.
Yeah, you're right since i mixed up with those terms used by my uni (and the form i'm going to fill is called 'Majoring Form'). About the electronics, I don't think it's purely about E&E. I've browsed through the sillibus, and among of them is :

- Operating Systems
- Digital Logic Design
- Multimedia Technology
- Computer Architecture and Design
- VLSI Design

So, it's kinda mixture of computer, IT, electronics and a lil bit of communication. In my uni, all 1st year engineering students will took the same subjects for 2 semesters (general engineering subjects - calculus, statics, dynamics, etc), and for the next 6 semesters are specific subjects according to one's majoring (one of above plus other 3-4 majoring). The problem about mechanical in my uni is, it's too specific (either automotive or aerospace) and not pure mechanical. I think the job field wouldn't be wide enough compared to pure mechanical one.
*
A common difference between Electronics and E&E courses are that Electronic courses usually omit Power subjects. So naturally you'll go deeper into computer engineering.

Specific subjects wouldn't really matter much because it is expected that the basic theory you would definitely learn (probably in year2) would lay a good foundation for you to learn other parts of the discipline

From my understanding of electrical power, you'll be learning more on the regulation, controls and distribution of the energy instead of generating it. If you're interest is in renewable energy, mechanical engineering should be the right choice.

Ah, yes the seemingly naive thought. I share that thought as well tongue.gif The world would be better off with more engineers. If only more people actually focused on developing human knowledge rather than accumulate wealth.

PS. I'm studying Electrical and computer systems engineering. I chose to omit all power engineering electives tongue.gif

What are the reasons that make you think it is not what you want?
