Bump!!! Bump!!

I am sure this thread will be active again after the announcement of the UPU results. Bumping it up to the front page so that forummers will be able to notice the existence of this topic.

Congratulations, first of all! A path filled with adventure and milestones awaits you. 

I am afraid I won't be able to answer your question regarding food and accommodation, as I have left UniMAP for at least 3 years. Many have changed since my departure, and believe me, it's a change for the better.   Maybe recent graduates, IvanWong1989 and Opet, and current student kelvinkhaw01 and amri94 can shed some lights on these matters?

In terms of education and the quality of lecturers, I am sure it is at par with one of the best unis in the country. Same goes to the facilities. Also, UniMAP is doing their very best to ensure that their degrees are recognised all over the country, be it private or governmental organisations.

For your info, I, myself graduated from Mechanical Engineering. To be honest, this is not a very tough course, if you prepare well before, be attentive during, and revise after every lectures. Yes, sounds very boring, but it pays off handsomely, at least for me.    Also, try not to skip any lessons. You may require some time to pick up from the last lecture and it may impede your progress. Unless you have a very dedicated study group, which shares everything, else you are all on your own.

Recently, there was a discussion about extra-curricular activities, and whether or not they are beneficial. Well, my stand was firm, and these extra activities are more of a bane than a boon. Yes, you will be wasting precious time attending these activities, and at the end of the day, you will find that you are far behind your coursemates. Do not commit, unless you are sure that you can make it.

That's what I have got. In case you need any clarifications, don't hesitate to post it here. Oh, and by the way, are you an STPM or a matric leaver?

I can totally feel your excitement! Welcome to UniMAP.

I graduated from Mechanical Engineering in 2007. I was lucky I got a taste of the main campus during my final year. But distance was really a problem. Had to commute daily from my hostel in Taman Semarak, Kuala Perlis to the campus in Pauh, which took 45 mins by bus. I believe now the main campus is already up and running with most Schools shifted over there from all around Perlis.

The School of Mechatronic Engineering is the biggest schools (biggest in terms of its number of students) in UniMAP. Mech Engin lecturers and professors there are competent and most of them know their stuffs fairly well. So no problem. Dari segi food and drinks around campus...well, typical Malay food, I would say. Nothing fancy. You can get Chinese and Indian food, and fast food in Kangar town and Kuala Perlis.

Aiyahh, they awal-awal sudah implement this concept lahh. Last time when Pauh there only have Mech Engin and Manufac, both also have their own canteen. Mech Engin mia kat tepi jalan je...  

of course la...

Guys, just wanna confirm. Did you get an offer for B.Eng or B.Tech?

hi, welcome to UniMAP!   

first of all, join this fb group created for u guys : https://www.facebook.com/groups/bakalmahasiswa1415/

I could not tell much about it, because i'm not taking that course. One thing for sure, u will be going to learn about industrial engineering as well, aside from electronic-related subjects of course. u will be covering general subjects such as engineering math, statistics and maybe other non-engineering subjects as well.

furthermore, note that u will also must take 7 IINM university-compulsory subjects. U need to take this in order to graduate.

Those subjects are:
1) Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia (TITAS)
2) Ethnic Relation
3) University Malay Language
4) University English Language
5) Foreign Language (No need to take if u got MUET under band 3, because u have to take Foundation English instead)
6) Tech and Comm Skills
7) Engineering Entrepreneurship

As for co-curricular activities, u MUST take minimum 3 semesters ( 2 uniformed body, 1 sports ). For bodies like PALAPES,SUKSIS and RELA, u have to undergo 6 semesters, no need to take sports after that. For SISPA, 5 sem.

For race, I could say Malay is more than Indian/Chinese ( u know why right ). But dont worry, there are handful of Chinese and Indians who came from Form 6.

Anyway, congrats for making yourself a place in the engineering university. 
I'm 3rd year student from Manufacturing. Do say hello if u meet me!

7 subjects no problem one la. You can take one per semester. If you are more adventurous, take two per semester lo.

It's good to finish up all the 7 subjects ASAP. Coz as your course progresses, it gets tougher. The earlier you clear all, the more free time you have to tackle harder core subjects.

Talking about 7, does UniMAP still has this 7 Pillars thingy? They will paksa us to go one. 

i dont have the pictures, but KKA is located just in front of Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin polytechnic, about 5 min bus ride to main campus.

before this only females stayed at KKA.

it is not the nearest, my new hostel just got finished this new semester, and it is just opposite the main campus gate.

KKA new hostel...no pic @@. But i guess you heard the word ''New'' then relieved enough Lol?
ishh jealous wei !! The only hostel that got both wifi and LAN port... and comfortable room.

if u think u have what it takes then go for it, my advise is wait 3rd year cause less credit hours need to fufill so u can focus abit more on language
