im bek.. bwahahaa...
erm.... kay..... mechi... haha... nice... u will look at gears, reduction gears... statics... thermo.... fluids.... and etc etc..
solidworks and autocad will be ur 2 main software...
finite element analysis software(ABACUS) i forgot whether ur seniors gt use or not.. lolx
i assume u hav googled what mechi eng is all about yah.. haha
life here ok arh... gt the store, and those mini markets for ur basic needs... gt kfc, pizza, but sadly no mcd... karaoke just open for a year adi... but till now i din go..
gt bowling place... haha. yah i forgot to mention this. gt BOWLING. lolx
cinema have to sewa kereta with frens to go alor star thr lu. just 45 minits away.... haha... and alorstar alot alot things. lolx...
MY life mostly is LAN parties.. lolx... dota/starcraft/warcraft mini games etc etc.. lolx and joining robocon competition and run the robotics club....(but honestly hard to find interested people... so this year we skipped cz nt enuf people interested. sigh..)
main campus for ur course built adi..haha.. we hav been attending for 1 year adi. loxl. so now worries lari sini lari sana.. but still frm ur hostel to main campus sit bus an hour loh. lolx...

hi thr freakfingers12..
i guess IvanWong1989 has a bit of a misconception about mechanical engg thr..
on one hand, he is rite.. mechanical engg does deal with statics and thermodynamics and fluid.. dats d basic of almost all d engg courses..
on d other hand, mechanical engg in unimap is more than dat.. gears and reduction gears r not too accurate, if u ask me.. unimap's mechanical engg course, during my time, stresses more on d knowledge of all engineering fundamentals (statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer..) on other complex engineering applications.. dis include modelling, design, simulations and analysis..
u wil also b learning high-end softwares during ur course.. solidworks and autocad are two main modelling softwares which r utilised throughout ur study.. besides dat, u wil also learn how to use design and simulation softwares..
simulation is one of d major stream in mechanical engg.. think of a vehicle crash-testing scene in perodua.. it wil b vy costly if u r to bang a myvi or a viva against a wall, to see how d impact force is exerted on d driver and passengers.. wat if u r to bang a dozen of myvi's and viva's on different wall surfaces, or wif differently aged drivers.. perodua wil go bankrupt in a fortnight..
dats whr simulations come in.. first u haf to model all ur test subjects (d myvi, d driver in d driver's seat, and its passengers, and also d wall).. then u set all d necessary test conditions and properties.. n u r all set to literally bang ur myvi against d wall.. all test conditions n properties r simply variables.. u can change it as many times as u like..
d best thing about simulation is dat, u can get very realistic and accurate results, without a few dozen of twisted myvi's and viva's in perodua's backyard waiting to be scraped.. it indeed saves cost..
does d above interest you, all mechanical engineers wannabes..? if it does, then u r in for a treat..!

for all mechanical, mechatronic and biomedical electronics engg newcomers, dis is how our school looks like.. yes, we do call it school.. in bm, it wil b pusat pengajian kejurutaraan (PPK).. n dis is d arial view of d school of mechatronic's (ppk mekatronik) building.. and believe me, its big..!
[attachmentid=2335779]
dis is one of d labs in our school.. dis is d mechanical engg's solid mechanic and vibration lab..
[attachmentid=2335788]
dis is d school's cafeteria.. d food is nice, and its at a very affordable price.. d boss is vy friendly too..
Thanks for all the feedback. Reading through all pages again, and since I was busy in the afternoon, I only had time to reply now. But please be noted, your comments are really appreciated.
That really sounds interesting, I see myself simulating a murder scene since young, since I started watching CSI. Lol. Really cool to hear that.
And nice pics, looks and feels cosy. No wonder all you seniors love the uni so much. haha...
because got newbies like me..

And also because of the seniors who are always prepared to help. Lol.
