uh, first i wanted to enrol in TARC at E&E, but thru the members in TARC thread, they said TARC E&E course is not accredited or qualified by BEM. so it make me a little bit concerns. any advice? thnx
If you are doing EE, i dont think the accreditation of BEM is that important (relatively) compared to civil eng.
The most important accreditation you should be paying attention is MQA. I have heard of EE graduates from tarc still manage to find job in malaysia as well as singapore.
The qualification of BEM is for the professional status only such as CEng (charted Engineer) and if you are not aiming for CEng that it should not concern you.
Since most of the EE engineers in the market do not have the status and yet still surviving.
In addition, most of the EE course in the private colleges (especially twinning with UK university) is not accredited by BEM either because they only offer 3 years honour degree.
(BEM requirement needs 4 years of degree studies)
To fulfill this requirement, some uk uni come out with EE course know as MEng which is a 4 years degree course.
(MEng is Masters in Engineering but it is considered as undergraduate studies, not post grad).
So it really depends on how heavy you weight the accreditation from BEM.
I personally dont really care about it actually, so do my seniors.
(pls correct me if i m wrong in this matter)
