i hav been offer d scholarship
bt study engineering in taylor is not in d list of BEM.. should i go on?
Taylor's own Engineering programs is still and that is one of the reasons why it is not yet accredited by BEM.It only started after Taylor's gained University College status in 2006 which they stooped their twinning program around that time and started their own degree.
We do have MQA accreditation and even though is not yet accredited is recognized by EAC and BEM.
We have provisional recognition and is confident that once all the requirements for accreditation are there to be evaluated we will get the full accreditation.
But generally Taylor's Engineering programs are quite good and the syllabus closely follows that of their partner university, University of Birmingham and the University of Sheffield though a few years back after gaining University College status Taylor's started to offer their own degree while still allowing students to transfer to their partner universities now through articulation agreements =)
75% of their lecturers are PhD holders and they have even been given approval by MOHE and MQA and have started their own PhD in Engineering program recently ^^
Our Taylor’s Industrial Advisory Committee (TIAC), comprising senior management personnel from various engineering fields, meet regularly to help review our curriculum and ensure that our students’ learning outcomes are aligned with the industry’s needs and expectations of today’s engineering graduates.
The School has been accepted as an official collaborator in the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) Initiative alongside great institutions, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor's is the first and only Malaysian institution that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.
Taylor's has also gotten the 1st runner up among private colleges for the popularity of their engineering course and 1st overall for the year 2009 in a recent survey.
Anyway BEM recognition is not really that important right now unless you want to work with government related companies,you want the Ir. title or it's civil engineering. ^^

which hostel is better?
MY PLACE APARTMENT OR PANGSAPURI APARTMENT?
those two are the only ones that are near to Taylors Subang Jaya..
but I haven't got a chance to see it directly as I'm an international student.
So may I please ask for opinions regarding these two apartments.
like the facilities n stuff.
Thank you!

Well pretty much both of them are same in terms of facilities.
My Place is nearer to go to the main TCSJ where CAL and SAM would be at while Pangsapuri would be closer to the previous TBS building where CPU is now located.But both is actually close enough that you can ignore those factor.It only comes in handy when you got to rush back home or to class for something just 1 or 2 minutes difference ahaha XD
Well in my opinion MyPlace's location is a bit more convenient as it is surrounded by shops rather than Pangsapuri which is surrounded by houses.
So people being lazy it's easier to get to some shops especially at night or something there's a few shops nearer to MyPlace where there might be people around the shop lots rather than walking through the roads alone at night even if it is just three,four minutes walk away.
MyPlace is also conveniently located next to the famous Asia Cafe.It's basicly a food court with a very wide variety of choices and it's closer to banks too ^^
Both are quite close to TCSJ and facilities wise both is about the same but MyPlace in my opinion has a bit more convenient location ^^
