Heard UTM is more renowned with its engineering courses..

Ex-UTM grad, took Electrical Eng (Power), just graduated last year May.

Personally:
1. I don't find UTM all that great. but there are others which are worse

2. Quality of lecturers fluctuates; u get good ones and u get bad ones. I've experience with both types, from making u wonder how can this person become a lecturer, to able to absorb everything in class and nvr felt like sleeping.

3. Competition is stiff. I suppose this is true for most of the local uni. U will encounter some ppl who're rather selfish when it comes to knowledge sharing

4. Facilities: Lab stuffs, they're all working and all but some lab assistants and technicians behaves like a prick all year long. The fac does have some high level facilities like IVAT (high current and voltage institute)

5. Course structure: It's the assumption of most students, electrical OR electronics. It doesn't mean if u study one u WON'T study the other. it's WRONG. both of them cannot be separated and u will learn the basics. Only at 3rd year and forth u'll become more streamlined.
in utm u have a lot of courses in electrical fac: power, electronics, microE, telecomm, mechatronics, bio-electronics, instrumentation. But eventually u'll come to realise the major of your course wouldn't play too much of impact in employability...

6. employability. I can quite safely tell u tht a lot of companies come to utm for career fair and headhunting. Intel often goes to UTM for hiring too (no prize for guessing where i'm working now)

7. Personal Advice: No matter which uni, which course, it really depends on you to make the most out of your uni life. in your 4 years, you get to enjoy to the fullest really, and also balance it so u won't flunk your exams. U'll meet lousy lecturers which u'd really wanna kick them in the butt, u'll meet stuck up coursemates whom u wish he's non-existing, and u'll have life-threatening subjects which u'll never ever apply in real life or work.

u can choose to study 24/7 and maybe graduate at 4.0 CGPA, or u can live a balanced student life. I'm telling u it's not possible because i did it lol. i'm active in co-curriclar (rep for debate team of UTM), plays most of the time (dotard lol), and get good result CGPA 3.90 and recipient of UTM's main award)

but blergh.... in the end i'm just another employee makan gaji...

hahaha hope it helps u la

That helped ALOT ! Thanks! Now I understand more about the course structure. I didnt know that only from the 3rd year we'll be streamlined Thanks!

Anybody from UPM?

Compared to others....

I really recommend you to enter UTM mechatronics.... because more flexible... it is like open ended course... you can become ELectrical or electronics... so...

ukm engineering faculty is the best in malaysia..u dont know that? for ee i dont know la..

UTM ftw ...

They ranked higher because they have the word"technology" ..so unfair!

Any Malaysian top 5 universities is already good for you , UTM, UM, USM, UPM, UKM. Just go and study, dun follow some of senior who still plagiarism and bring "toyol" during exam. Of course they still got first class degree, but inside empty.

Anyway, for UPM, got chinese association, very strong union where they got their own meeting, activity, study group and even teach each other. Senior also spent some time to tutor the junior and even share past final question within the group. No need to be scared for not attending 1 class, others would help you do the revise. Of course this got nothing to do with the UPM study environment, but in UPM, that association really care for it's members.

I also got benefit by asking those members when it comes to exam ... of course la not everything, they keep it themselves, but still helpful ..

Not it is not... UTM is much better.

Anybody knows how is it at UPM?

PM-ed

Totally agreed with MyKy44.. I'm same course with him. Currently on my final semester.

Just want to add something, after you finish your degree at UTM, you can easily further studies to Masters(cgpa above 3.00) and direct to PhD(cgpa over 3.50) with scholarship and monthly allowance given by UTM. It is because UTM just recently been awarded as Research University.

Right now i'm still thinking to kerja makan gaji or further Masters with allowance RM2k monthly excluding scholarship..

How about Univetsity of Malaya?
If you look at the Topuniversities Ranking by THES, UM ranked the highest in Malaysia at 164 while second place goes to UTM, which is ranked ate 240.
And the only Center of Excellence for Research under MoHE HiCOE (there are six throughout Malaysia in various areas) which is doing research in the area of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is in UM.
One thing about UM, the students intake for EE is very low, only upto 65 students per year. So the competition is quite tough.

I think UTM's engineering is better than UPM.

Define why it's more better?

yup, 1st class is >3.75 but for fast-track program (direct to PhD), the requirement is only 3.50 and above. Students with 3.50 and above will automatically get an offer letter for fast-track program on their last semester.

UTM is not actually better than others but they are more specialized in few EE fields.. UTM has 7 (if i'm not mistaken) EE course while UM and UPM has 2-3 course only. UTM has EE in high voltage, mechatronic, electronic, microelectronic, control & instrumentations, medical electronic, and computer.

Is true that electrical engineering 1 of the haardest engineering fields ? i just got an offer from politeknik but i know nut abt it.
what is the different between poli and U in term of their course ? im so confused right know. i hope everyone of you can help me.

UPM is ok.. I'm now in my fourth year...

hhi..wanna ask tat is it UKM EE course v difficult? got any senior here from UKM?

upm quite ok i would say.. the environment nice, there are some lecturers who are nice and some who aren't.. currently takin mechanical engineering at upm

So I heard doing engineering at UPM is not good because most of it is theory based. And its quite rare to see engineering student from UPM in industries, based on my working experience. Could u verify it ?

I interviewed many ee students in local uni. U willb surprise UPM course structure is the most updated. The local big 5 uni is prefered due to the quality of the student esp chinese.
I ranked upm,usm,um,utm n last ukm.
anyway, any of this uni is a decent choice n will not spoil ur future

But the gaji very big right compare to onthers ?

i think the employability level of utm is better than upm in engineering fields. especially in oil and gas fields. u can see it for urself during career fair in both unis. u can find a lot of major and mnc oil and gas companies in utm career fair such as shell, slb, halliburton, baker etc while there was only local oil and gas companies spotted in upm career fair such as mmhe, sime, petronas. i've went to mas interview once years ago, they even surprised that upm got engineering courses. hahahah. n btw, yeah i'm from upm.

UTP is the best
