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..!

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?

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 !

so broadband is either celcom or maxis la...uhmm...ok...thanks...
then need wear formal wear when having class? 
jeans can wear?
one more thing wanna knw is that near campus or hostel gt what atm machine...

hi meijie..

formal wear is required during d orientation week.. u need it throughout d week, but not d whole day.. it depends on wat activity u r attending..

and for d first two weeks of lecture, u also need formal attire.. dats d norm for new students.. i think partly bcoz u wil b doing a lot of ice-breaking wif lecturers in d school.. dats y u need to dress up formally..

yes.. for engineering students, jeans are allowed.. both during lectures and labs.. but u r advised to wear only presentable jeans.. some lecturers wil not care much about ur attire.. some mean ones wil juz ask u to get out of their sight.. so b careful..

in unimap.. we r using atm from bank muamalat.. yes, its not those well-known banks, but u can find it almost in every nooks and corners of perlis.. thr is one in d hostel, and one in d campus..

  first 2 weeks need?    i din wear pun... lolx....

eh, markas, u grad adi right?

haha.. may i ask.... u planning to wrk whr?

i dont plan to work.. i m now waiting for my application result to do phd..

something wanna ask ^^
is that if  we wanna loan ptptn we hv ti go but the pin cost RM5 at BSN 1st?
and is the a need for ourself to drive a car there or? driving ourself troublemsome?

hey guys , dont we need to solve the "setuju" error ? i have made alot of call to unimap but still nobody is answering my call . yet , before 22 july we need to click that bloody button , how ?!

my friends get upm also face this problems... dunno... haiz...
