Cool, theres a thread here. Just read through all 4 pages.
I got Mechanical Engineering
Sept 2011 intake.

Seems like people here don't have any problem achieving 3.5 CGPA la. Terel sial... How did you guys do it? Life there, go class come back study only? No entertainment, watch movies whatsoever?

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,im from penang...
i gonna study at unimap soon...i will take biomedic engineering...any comment for this course?
and i wanna know anything is illegal?so that i wo9nt bring it...
thanks....

im gonna enter unimap for polymer engineer.....this subject does it related to chem or will it touches physic??

 PENEMPATAN_PELAJAR_LAMA_SIDANG_AKADEMIK_201120152.pdf ( 32.28k ) Number of downloads: 58


this states whr we old guys will live.. year 2-4..

my guess is newcomers will be wang ulu flat hostel...

posting up the few pictures i took....


my house for first 2 sem... haha.. i lived in the master bedroom...own toilet



robotics room.. in a very very messy state... joined robocon in my first year... but unfortunately... we nt experience enuf... lost.. haha


erm... a restaurant in kuala perlis... thr gt 3 major restaurants for eating dinner.. haha... 2 is halal, one is not..
i am taking pic. so nt inside our makan besar before end sem.. i forgot when... everysem we have...



our classroom... for our school of mechatronics, we got 1 lecture hall. and many classrooms. labs i din count how many..zzzz




only pic of campus outside i have.. sigh.. din take much photo.. haha. in the morning will kabus everywhr. zzzz

Added on July 17, 2011, 11:15 pmhaha.. biomedic normally the trend is 90%gurls.... 10% guys.. lolx... this course u will learn mostly about human biology things... my rummate in 2nd year he took subjects like analysis of the human physiology, electric circuit, microcontroller programming(this just to expose, nt really core subject), more bio stuff like human bone hardness, pacemakers and wth i duno.. lolx.. i myself hav no love for bio.. hahax....

illegal? erm.. water heater... haha... and any other electrical appliance that sucks electricity.. but table fan they let u bring. haha.. i bought one cz the weather too hot..
water heater erm... dun bring thr... wait evlithing settle first then go buy sendiri thr.... hide it lor... although unimap gt provide seterika iron board and water boiler... the water boiler is shared by whole house.. if u nt lucky.. housemates wun clean the thing afta use... so will get dirty... my solution... smuggle in a water boiler share wit oli ur rummates. haha.

.. i hav no clue.... sorry nt many frens i knw that is in this course... perhaps u can google it?

@ivan.. one person one room a? woo.. nice le..
but seriously why lecture is conducted in such a small class? didnt really expect so small.. sure not comfortable with the chair bcz the place is like so small for us to write notes and sure front row make behind row cant see.. sigh~
ivan,thx u very much for posting so much photos..
can i ask for more?
btw u haven't ans my previous post..

icic...thanks for information...
and i wanna ask that first year we will live in hostel then the following years we still need stay in the hostel?or can rent house at outside or what?
oh ya...and also i wanna sign up broadband..perlis thr use which broadband better?

wahhh tenkiu la senpai~ looks nice...

another Qs: in computer network engineering how many ratio of boys to girls? and is the lecture hall far from housing area?

^ this post?? haha... erm.. pictures of campus.. i din take much.. sigh....

erm... that house my master bedroom 3 person.. haha... but still good aso.. gt own toilet.hehehe..

if u all newcomers going to wang ulu flat... should be 3 rooms, eac rum gt 2 person. haha

erm.. actuallly cz our batch the population boomed... haha... so many people... so split into 3 groups... also lidat adi.. better than no split group.. zzz cant breathe.. lolx.. but it's ok... enuf spce actually... and the classrum feel makes it easier to ask lecturer stuff.... i personally no likey too big lecture halls... cant ask the lecturers cz they so far away... and dun wory about stuffyness..... the aircond is super cold... untill all wearing jaket....

erm... distributed is last time... now they are slowly going to main campus... most of the courses should be going to to main campus di.. haha... but actually.. tell u personally.... i prefer distributed... cz when class breakthat time can go to the mak cik roadside stall eat yummy things.. haha...
in main campus... food er.... nt to say bad.. just nt much choice.. lolx...

---

Added on July 17, 2011, 11:41 pmerm.... unimap SHOULD still provide us all 4 years full hostel.... thr still enuf place... haha....
but a few years later.. when too many students.. nt sure le... so we are lucky ones that still get to stay in hostel 4 years, save on rent. hehe....

erm... assuming u all living in wang ulu .... computer campus is at kg. wai.. so .... bout 30 minits bus ride... haha...

all ur seniors in computer courses live at kg.wai.. so they dun even need to go out... just walk oli can di.. lolx....


This post has been edited by IvanWong1989: Jul 17 2011, 11:41 PM

then if after 1st year,2nd yr start duwan stay at hostel they will allow us to move out hostel?
and about the broadband...which one nicer in perlis?
the campus of biomedic eng will very far apart from hostel?

our chinese festival.. i forgot whut it is.. duno mandarin.. but i took part in sign language performance.. lolx... but sadly no pc..


btw.. one and only campus pic....

---

Added on July 17, 2011, 11:59 pmerm.. u still need to pay rm 400 everysem... in short u can move out.. but u still hav to pay.. haha
actuall in perlis nt much place to sewa place lah... so dun need think this option.. haha..


i use celcom.... some use maxis.... lolx.... digi p1 al those wun reach till ur hostel.. haha...


school lines sucks at peak hours,,,,....

so dun expect much....


biomedic is same at main campus... haha....

biomedic/mechanical/mechatronic all under same faculty... maybe u can even see me... lolx...

CNY? haha..
btw if my fren taking mechanical while i taking mechatronics,does that mean we have to stay in different hostel?
and how about the wifi or internet in hostel? smooth or ahem..

got wifi in main campus only?

and what about unifi/streamyx? got anybody use?

How about manufacturing? Far away from our hostel? Any senior on this course? ^^

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..!


dis is one of d labs in our school.. dis is d mechanical engg's solid mechanic and vibration lab..


dis is d school's cafeteria.. d food is nice, and its at a very affordable price.. d boss is vy friendly too..

hi jimmytan912..

d school of manufacturing engg and d school of mechatronic engg is juz side by side.. we r d first two schools to b relocated to d new campus in kampus ulu pauh..

if u r staying in wang ulu (n most probably, u will), it wil take arnd 50mins to reach d campus.. dont worry, bus is always provided.. and if u r staying in kuala perlis, it wil take not more than 40mins to reach..

it depends on wat time ur lecture starts on dat day.. first lecture wil b at 8am.. for myself, i wil get up at 6am (if my lecture is at 8am).. get myself ready and i wil walk out to d pick-up point before 7am.. d first bus wil start to leave at 7am.. make sure dat u get urself ready by 7:30am.. coz d last bus wil move at 7:30am for d 8am class..

well, dis is only applicable to mechanical, mechatronic, biomedical electronics, manufacturing and product design engg students..

sorry eh markas.. haha.... i din knw much... thx for claryfying.. heheh.. ^^
btw.. the pics of the campus yeng!

Added on July 18, 2011, 1:02 amerm..... newcomers should all be placed at wang ulu... if im nt mistaken.... they prefer to put same course roommates together.. haha...

wifi at main campus is flying cz nt 100% people go thr use.... but at hostel... it ... *cough*.. gets frustrating...
ours use those lan cables...

wifi at main campus...
hostel will be lan cables...

unifi/streamyx.. erm... nt that i knw of... so far din see people use.. haha..

---

Added on July 18, 2011, 1:14 amfor those taking mechatronics...

expect going more into electronics and digital control systems...

also another major part will be microcontrollers.... haha...

simulation software we use alot.. haha.... nt compulsory... but generally it makes understanding easier..

and expect no shortcut in projects.... the lecturers duwan simulation only projects..

they want real physically built stuff.... kinda jealous biomedic din need spend $ build those stuff. lolx..

yes... need $ to execute those projects..


so far my first year electronics project includes auto lamp post light controller using hysteresis then some c programming ..

2nd year projects ate my money.. lolx.. auto car park colour cards...zzz whole thing took rm 500+..zzzzzzzzzz

3rd year.. haha... i haven gone through cant say...



when people think mechatronics.. they think robotics... the thing is... we are nt limited to that.... our main focus would be automation and control..


though i must say very often.. wht we do in future nt always related to the course u've taken....

Means we gonna register our own online application ? or the hostel already got something like streamyx ? Anyone have the problem when clicking the "setuju" button ? i tried over 3days and the error still there =__=!!
Oh yea , anyone taking polymer enginering which same as me ? come and make a friend guys !

means line is provided... both at hostel and campus...dun wori..

i apply celcom cz i fad up wit school line.. haha.. unstable... and block here block thr....


erm... i suggest u phn relevant people up....
