Thanks for the info!

It seems that for undergraduates in mechanical, the competition is just too stiff.
Oh well, congrats to those who made it, and best of luck!

suggestions for mobile network company, with good signal coverage.

as i am international student, coming for this Jan intake.

If u get to stay at village 4 or 5, I suggest P1 wimax. If not take Celcom. If you want really fast network take Yes 4G, tho its quite expensive.

Hi. I have a question again. sorry for asking
anyway, for females, is it alright for us to wear sports shirt? like those normal sports shirts?those that absorb sweat fast?
but thing is, I went to buy without collar it's all round-collared. sigh. I dunno if it's alright during MAS.
I will call UTP tomorrow to confirm. but right now I am so worried.
thanks for helping

oh god its UTP thread. still v1?

do we need to bring like our cups or plates or cutlery when we stay in the hostel? and does utp have wifi and izzit fast?..izzit on for 24/7?

You can bring cups and plates if you intend to eat/drink in your room, if not you can just walk to nearest canteen to grab some food. UTP do equipped with internet (Wireless or LAN) at most hostels, class, library, cafes and etc. Its up time is 24/7 unless there is maintenance. Its not fast for download, torrent, video streaming, its just good enough for normal web browsing.

Wow UTP thread !!

Hello guys, Chris here from Chemical department 2nd Year 2nd

Thank you!!..izzit fast enough for skyping though??..and what time does class for the foundation usually end?

Try Skype in the morning after 3am, that time the network is fastest because less people use.

hi, how's the facilities for E & E? i just sat for my SPM (2012) and am choosing higher ed institutions. how does UTP fair against nottingham or monash?

I would say facilities of EE in UTP is fine. Most of the basic EE stuff are provided here. However once you enter 3rd or 4th year, you will be majoring in specific major either communication, control instrument, microprocessor, embedded, and power. During this 3rd and 4th year you will realise that the equipment are not sufficient or up to date. How do I know? I am EE student here,

From what I hear, the best facilities in UTP is Chemical. Others engineering facilities is sufficient.

Nottingham vs Monash vs UTP. This is like UK ed vs Aus ed vs Malaysia ed, LOL. Ill just state briefly what I feel about these 3 Universities.

From what I know, Nottingham provide 3 years Bachelor for Engineering but its not BEM accredited because of the duration of studies. If you want to become professional engineering (BEM), you have to extend another 1 year of study there and get Master in Eng. So you can obtain master at young age.

Monash education most likely the same as UTP, 4 years of Bachelor Degree. Few times prof, and lecturers from Monash came to UTP giving adjunct lecture here.

While UTP, we have the best industrial connections especially OnG companies like Hallirbuton, Shell, Schlumberger, and etc. This probably because of PETRONAS connections with the other OnG company in Malaysia. Intel also always come to UTP looking fresh grades.

For me, if you want to work as professional Engineer after you grade, you should go to UTP. But if you want to further your studies to take PHD and becoming Dr, go for Nottingham or Monash, its faster and easier for you to further studies overseas.

hey all, a few question to ask~

does the mas week really last for 1 week? Is there really that much activity to be carried out?

Do I need to bring my laptop during the mas week?

2 student in one room right?

Is there many club for co-curricular activity?what is the hottest one?

since the 3rd and 4th year equipment are outdated and not sufficient, what disadvantage will i have?

erm, what abt UTP vs Curtin?

you seem lucky to have a lot of option to further your studies..
but i think very hard for anyone to compare two institution unless you have been to both of them..
as stated earlier.. the advantage of utp is their connection with oil and gas industries (if you are interested to join the ong workforce)

1. Yes MAS will last about a week, might be less than that.
2. The activity will not be extreme, just simple introduction of University, leadership program, childish games, and drama.
3. You can bring your laptop, but it will probably be seated in your locker for the whole week, unless you have the strength to online every night after MAS end.
4. Yes, maximum of 2 students in a room. You may find your desired roommate on the registration day.



It might be a problem when you start doing 3rd and 4th year lab work and also final year project. Technology nowadays grows too fast, especially EE. Usually university cant cope with it. But as I said earlier, for basic learning its there. It does not matter if we have advance machine but we cant master basic , right?

Rd33 u are taking what courses ? Are u one of the mas faci ?

Im taking EE.

Haha. nope...Im not one of MAS faci.
