"Malaysia's forward-thinking government has laid out powerful new academic and research initiatives making it the ideal location for our newest partnership. We look forward to joining Malaysia in this next phase of their evolution." - official statement by MIT



MIT didn't change their name to "university" but always in top 5 ranking in this world??

actually what does it takes to be the best??

based on the research done before, what Malaysia really lack behind is the good educational researches done in the local universities.

1/2 of Malaysia oversea students not return home!, Malaysia universities ~ 6.66x lack researches compared to developed countries (News)

why not apiit ucti? Staffordshire Uni?

MITis an ol skool education center.....plus got many R&D projects with US gomen done there....thats why so popular

Colombo uni?

sad............ my university is not in the top 10 ranking

look here, this guy is a MIT student showing very awesome Artificial Intelligence 6th sense technology

he show how he got the idea.. ohh brilliant!



MIT Students Turn Internet Into a Sixth Human Sense


LONG BEACH, California — Students at the MIT Media Lab have developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they’re done.

Pattie Maes of the lab’s Fluid Interfaces group said the research is aimed at creating a new digital "sixth sense" for humans.

In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it, Maes explained. But a lot of the information that helps us understand and respond to the world doesn’t come from these senses. Instead, it comes from computers and the internet. Maes’ goal is to harness computers to feed us information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses.

The prototype was built from an ordinary webcam and a battery-powered 3M projector, with an attached mirror — all connected to an internet-enabled mobile phone. The setup, which costs less than $350, allows the user to project information from the phone onto any surface — walls, the body of another person or even your hand.

Maes showed a video of her student Pranav Mistry who she describes as the brains behind the project. Mistry wore the device on a lanyard around his neck, and colored Magic Marker caps on four fingers (red, blue, green and yellow) helped the camera distinguish the four fingers and recognize his hand gestures with software that Mistry created.

The gestures can be as simple as using his fingers and thumbs to create a picture frame that tells the camera to snap a photo, which is saved to his mobile phone. When he gets back to an office, he projects the images onto a wall and begins to size them.

and then guess.. who take his research.. it's Bill Gates and Microsoft!

Microsoft show this demonstration of future computer technology.. actually it was based on MIT student research!

who cares about the name as long youre getting education. even sekolah pondok can go to the list if they offer degree programs and create many reputable engineers.

Just accept the FACT that Oversea uni/college > malaysia uni/college.

last time my lect. told me that every single student who graduated from MIT in mechanical engineering are able to design n build engine by themselves. that's how the quality of MIT's gradute.

You are right.

If ITM didn't change to UiTM, they'll be ranked no. 1 in the world.

sometimes I wonder. Is this because the teaching is good, or the quality of the students is good? or both?

it's all about R & D which sadly our universities is severely lacking

and student are good enough to leave a firetruck on their dome or program their lift to greet out whenever someone walk in.

someone from caltech exchange over to my uni for a semester and he told us, for his first year, his project is to design an oscilloscope, im stuck with a simple radio.

MIT is femes because Big Bang Theory movie is about the life of a bunch of dudes that doing research in MIT. With some Cheesecake Factory gal. Herp derp~

no movie yo

butthurted cap ayam uni ppl will say not important

Why people have to go to cap ayam uni?

why nobody mention london school of economics? school only leh.

why nobody mention imperial college london? college only leh

^ college is > school, dipshit.

so, u got 1st ranking uni so wat?


Who is driving all the ferrari n bentley?

Not u, not me.

And they come out from cap palang uni/kolej. hahahaha.

I did it for the lulz

^dun give excuse .

fail man, that is caltec not mit

caltech say mit lose. mit say caltech lousy.

but they duno thrs 1 uni in india where rejects go to MIT, caltech

no IIT have every develop as much new techonolgy as MIT or UCLA or CALTECH or Harvard

rankings are important , but not everything.
no need to go around bragging bout ur ranking or graad from oberc whatever, especially if u just tumpang the uni reputation, lolz.......

if rankings in THES are anything to go by, then someone i know , grad from queen's wanna brag to me coz i study locally only. too bad she didnt check the rankings out. but of coz i didnt say anything la coz i know how karma works i can brag to her but those above me can brag to me as well.

even if U have any degree from any Uni, as long as U still work under people..
U wil always be kuli..

If you listened/watched MIT OpenCourseWare lectures, you'd be surprised how crowded and noisy the average classroom is.

I guess it's the fact that MIT attracts the best students that makes it good, and not exactly the learning environment, which from the lectures look only average.

but facilities important also.

Y U NO MENTION UNIVERSITY TENAGA NASIONAL?

environment? hmmmm..... if u go to uni full of brainiacs u will kena peer pressure or locally called kiasu syndrome. but if u have discipline that wont matter

Did u ever see UITM grad brag he's from UITM??

Even one of my colleague who study there don't tell others he from there. He more happily to tell everyone he grad from Japan uni

u need a backing from the "people's money" to study there. a lot of it

lol probably he went to japan as exchange student, uitm if im not mistaken always send their students to japan , etc.
but maybe he inferiority complex so he tumpang the japan uni name lor.

next time any uitm students brag, just tell them that u never heard of uitm

That is CalTech yo..

lol... derp got herped back

i know someone go cambridge under Di pertuan agong scholarship ( >90000x better than JPA, MARA, etc) balik msia open law firm. richer than many ppl. but still not like damnnnnnn rich. richest is local uni grad like mahatiew and bijan (from nottingham , not top 10)

how many malaysians enrolled to MIT?
last i heard it was so hard to enter that only one malaysian managed

my batch of scholar 1 indian girl got in. she now doing phd in uni of chicago

MMU is world class

i dun understand...so going to uni is all about getting rich...???

u graduate from Uni & get rich, u success
u graduate from Uni & not get rich, u phail

is that how we indoctrinate our youngsters....???

Egyptian unis the best.

My MNC director is only 33 graduate from MMU earning 30k a month.. pwn u all from ranking schools.
At the end of the day, whatever Uni you go to, free or otherwise, what you make of it later is what matters. Dont need to be envious

aiyo...

u need to understand that all they can think of is money, money, money.

hmm....no wonder our country are sooooo farked up

the mentality "graduate from Uni ----> getting rich/highest income ----> success" is too strong...no passion for knowledge, just money driven & that is all matters

haih

my uncle studied in MIT, haha.. tunggang glamour...



ok.. inb4 ada aku kesah.

yes, MIT are a good school not because of how many of its student become rich, but because the university have always been in on the cutting edge of technology and science development. countless new innovation in physic, engineering, computer science have come out of the MIT over the years.

thats how asians are usually

who made the stat? it obviously bias haha

It's famous bcoz Tony Stark enter MIT at his 6 years of age.

+9999999999

the simple sentence is;

PASSION FOR KNOWLEDGE & SKILL

they do it because they love it, they love their profession, they love the knowledge, they have the passion, they will possibly do it for free, not because there's a big carrot tangling in front of their eyes

thats why they are what they are now


meanwhile in Malaysia.........

ayam butthurt.. why no UiTM in the list?? FUUUUUUUUUuuuuu

i didnt say not get rich is phail also. i look up to people who can come up with innovations and inventions too. in fact, u can be successful without entering university. like lim goh tong, he was a successful businessman.the point i was making, success can come even if you are from a lower ranked uni or whtever.

besides, success can be measured in different ways. no doubt, financial wealth is one of the parameters. u go to the west, if u peole hear u r the boss of big company they also will say u r successful. same case here.

phail country producing phail mindreaders.

the real MIT students are even more impressive

Many of MIT's over 120,000 alumni and alumnae have had considerable success in scientific research, public service, education, and business. Twenty-four MIT alumni have won the Nobel Prize, forty-four have been selected as Rhodes Scholars, and fifty-five have been selected as Marshall Scholars.[255]

Alumni in American politics and public service include Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, MA-1 Representative John Olver, CA-13 Representative Pete Stark, former National Economic Council chairman Lawrence H. Summers, and former Council of Economic Advisors chairwoman Christina Romer. MIT alumni in international politics include British Foreign Minister David Miliband, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, physicist Richard Feynman, and former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Chalabi.

MIT alumni founded or co-founded many notable companies, such as Intel, McDonnell Douglas, Texas Instruments, 3Com, Qualcomm, Bose, Raytheon, Koch Industries, Rockwell International, Genentech, and Campbell Soup. The annual Entrepreneurship Competition has led to the creation of over 85 companies that have, in aggregate, generated 2,500 jobs, received $600 million in venture capital funding, and have a market capitalization of over $10 billion.[256] A 2009 study claimed that the combined revenues of companies founded by MIT affiliates would make it the seventeenth largest economy in the world.[11]

Prominent institutions of higher education have been led by MIT alumni, including the University of California system, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Carnegie Mellon University, Tufts University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Purdue University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Quaid-e-Azam University.

More than one third of the United States' manned spaceflights have included MIT-educated astronauts (among them Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin), more than any university excluding the United States service academies.[257]

Noted alumni in non-scientific fields include author Hugh Lofting,[258] Boston guitarist Tom Scholz, The New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize Winning economist Paul Krugman, The Bell Curve author Charles Murray, United States Supreme Court building architect Cass Gilbert, and Pritzker Prize-winning architects I.M. Pei and Gordon Bunshaft.

u guise seem to disagree with financial wealth as being one of the parameters of success. then tell me how u define success.

yeah , i can go as far as to say a garbage collector is a successful person if he manages to keep the city clean.

money is not everything in life. success is based on what you think is successful.

but in a capitalistic society, yes

wow...
actually i only know about MIT bcoz of news few years back that they're working with DARPA to create crysis-like-suit.
other than that about MIT, i dunno at all
really great.its great to have been enrolled there.
most students must be crazy one...

SPM can be use to apply directly there or not?

one of parameter, YES...

but the trend now is, "ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY"

Proof;
if the garbage collector doing his job well & keep the city real clean, why not say he is successful..??? what, garbage collector is sucks..?? then who want to collect your garbage..???

I iz sadding nobody mention UTM.
