hi jimmytan912,

first of all.. congratulation in getting a placement in a public uni..

i have something to add on IvanWong1989's reply..

ur first yr in manufacturing engg wil b on d vy fundamentals of engg.. which is maths and physics.. if u r an stpm student, i dont think u wil haf any problem in most of d subjects..

2nd yr wil go deeper into d core of engg.. u wil b studying mostly on material properties and also on design.. all in all.. 2nd yr wil b interesting..

when u enter 3rd yr.. dats whr d specialisation comes in.. manufacturing engg in d industry is synonym for production management and quality control, as well as on machine design and instrumentation.. 3rd yr wil b a lot more technical compared to d previous years..

by d time u enter into ur final year, u wil know exactly wat is ur interest.. dats whr ur final yr project (fyp) destination wil b.. fyp wil b more on hands on and independent work.. u wil spend most of ur time doing ur fyp.. besides dat, u get to choose subjects u wish to study.. they r called elective subjects.. strictly speaking, dis subjects wil likely to determine ur career path.. so u r advised to choose wisely..

dats all i can assist u in.. if u haf any other queries.. u can PM me.. i wil try my best to clear ur doubts.. or mayb i can intro some manufacturing engg students from my batch.. until then.. all d best..!

To:exquisite_markas and Ivan Wong..
U both are really helpful.. Thanks for u information...
Nice to meet u both...
u both still studying in unimap? uni life there ok? Teacher ok? Haha

hi thr.. nice knowing u too..

i juz finished my 4th yr in unimap.. i was doing mechanical engg.. now i m waiting for my convocation come september..

i m nt sure about manufacturing engg lecturers.. but from wat i heard from my frens.. d lecturers thr are vy helpful.. i dont think lecturers wil b an issue.. dont worry too much..

Hi all , I just received offer from UniMAP , they were offered me Polymer Enginering . But the way , I overcome some problem , can someone help me ?

1) When I try to press the bloody "setuju" button . It is still remain the same after I press the setuju button and refresh the page . Anyone have this problem ?

2) After I keep spamming on that setuju button and printed all the documents including offer letter , I refresh the page again . Suddenly this thing pops out as below :


Dukacita dimaklumkan bahawa anda TIDAK BERJAYA
dalam permohonan kemasukan ke UniMAP bagi
Program Pengajian Lepasan STPM/Setaraf bagi Sesi Akademik 2011/2012.

Now I'm accepted or rejected ? =__= I already have the offer letter .


3) The hostels we can choose by our own or arrange by UniMAP ?

Thanks for the help

hi xflazex..

i m here to answer question 3..

in unimap.. u wil b staying in d hostel throughout ur course duration.. dis means dat u need not to go out and hunt for a room.. saves u time as well as money..

since unimap is providing hostel (we cal it kolej kediaman) to everyone.. we just cant simply choose d hostel we want and stay in it.. hostel location wil b pre-arranged.. one entire course wil b staying in one kolej kediaman.. dis is to greatly ease communications between coursemates.. also, which kolej kediaman will u b staying in wil depends on d location of ur lecture rooms and labs..

housemates (those staying wif u in d same house) are arranged by d officers-in-charge.. but, u can choose ur roomate (d one who is in d same room wif u)..

unimap has both terrace house and flat-like type of kolej kediaman.. a little on my experience.. i have stayed in both terrace house and d flat-like kolej kediaman throughout my course duration.. and i stil prefer d flat-like type.. n i duno why..

dont b too worry my fren.. everything wil turn out fine..

i sincerely wish u all d best in solving question 1 and 2.. i m sorry i cant help..

Problem 1 and 2 are the error of the webpage , now everything become normal back . But the way , the hostel will provide us what facilities ?

erm... perhaps wait for sum people in that course stumble upon here to explain?? lolx... i try see portal see what subjects u will be taking..... though pls research on urself too whut this course is about. The uni was a distributed campus concept. meaning the whole perlis area got our facilities. nowadays, main campus is being built, so depends whether ur course facilities are outside of main campus or inside. Either way, hostels are spread accross perlis, new comers SHOULD be going to the flats styled hostels.... i'm in taman semarak.. terrace house hostels..

erm... welcome. erm.. uni life for me it's quite okay ah... no cinema, no big shopping complex, no karaoke... lolx..no mcd......BUT nt a problem. sewa kereta go 45 minits sumtimes one day trip to kedah to play. ^^
i live in kuala perlis.. so chinese food nt a problem for me ler...
Lecturers...... haha... as always, thr will be those that are extremely good while those that can make u slp to those that simply wun giv marks to students. haha... banyak orng banyak ragam mah.

i finished 2 years, still have 2 years more to go.

eh... u senior hor. ^^ hihi./.... i junior ler... hehe...

lolx.... hostel.... erm...iron... iron board.... boiler.... bed... mattress... almari.... haha. that's all.
u are nt allowed to use ur own boiler, or any high watt stuff.... lolx....
(though i do recommend among ur rummates.... one of u bring a water boiler for ur own use... cz the house boiler very often becomes dirty..... haha...)

err i wanna say tat.. got mini Kbox and MANY KFC at perlis =P

oh ! i forgot!! ya, the mini kbox! ^^

haven go b4 though...


ya.. kfc is everywhr.... zzzz but no mcd...

pizza hut aso gt. hahax

hi..

nice to meet u.. i m from mechanical engg..

do keep a close eye on ur cgpa.. its vy important to maintain it as high as possible.. when u come out and seek for employment.. d first thing they look into is ur cgpa.. and even if u r being called for an interview.. they wil also comment on ur cgpa as well..

This post has been edited by exquisite_markas: Jul 16 2011, 11:41 AM

sigh.... last sem my gpa fell very teruk arh....

sigh.....

now my cgpa hover around 3.49....zzzzzzzzz
hopefully wun go lower....

Oh senior ~ i wanna ask.. Dean letter got use when graduate? the letter we get when we able to maintain our cgpa 3.5 / above ~

when i first came to unimap during d 2007/2008 intake.. perlis was literally a ghost town.. yes, thr was kfc's and pizza hut.. but thr was no dis so-called kbox.. entertainment was realy scarce in perlis.. d only entertainment at night was d beach side in kperlis.. n believe me.. u wont want to go thr after d first time..

as i m from ipoh, when i was first thr in perlis.. i was really shocked.. thr was no entertainment of any kind.. but now that i hav graduated, i believe this was a blessing in disguise.. no entertainment made me spend more time on my studies.. yes.. jokes aside.. i m dead serious about dat..

honestly.. u realy need to work out on ur cgpa then.. most of d subjects wil get tougher as u progress higher.. set urself a target for every sem.. n work towards dat target..

yes.. d dean letters dat u receive every sem r definately of good use.. when u go and look for jobs after u graduate.. ur potential employers wil look at ur credentials.. n if more than one candidate apply for d same job, it might b d deciding factor.. it wil not guarantee u employment dats for sure.. but u wil stand a higher chance to b called for an interview..

dean letter (or we usually call it dean list) is a indication of ur performance.. d best is to get it every semester.. dis shows dat u r capable of maintaining ur cgpa above 3.50, which is a healthy score..

keep all ur dean lists in a cool, safe place.. it wil b another feather on ur hat when u graduate later..

School: School of Mechatronic Engineering
Course: Mechanical Engineering
Intake: 2007/2008
Graduation: September 2011

thx ~ i still left 4 sem to go ~ now i able to get for the 1st 2 sem ~ gotta hard work more since the following sem is gonna be tougher ~

hi DesireeV..

first of all.. congratulation in getting a placement in a public university.. secondly, i m sorry dat they haf given u stg which u didnt ask for..

i do haf quite a number of frens who were in d same situation as u r in now.. i recalled one who did her stpm biology, and she was offered to do metalurgical engg in unimap.. well, she was obviously frightened and clueless when she got dat offer.. but yet she took up d offer..

yes, d first few months was quite a struggle for her.. but as time passed by, she slowly picked up n she was doing well in d next semester.. dont worry.. u wil nt b alone thr.. u wil haf vy helpful lecturers whom are always ready to help u out.. on top of dat.. u wil haf lots of helpful coursemates..

bb100 a.k.a. panglima perang in d mechanical engg program.. meaning, top student.. pm him if u haf any doubts about ur course.. he definately can help..

Hi jujunior......

Work a little harder and you might actually end up with a First Class Honours.

This will further polish up UniMAP's name.
