I am quite blur about like what are the job available if you study civil,material,mechanical,E&E,Chemical engineering and etc etc.And there doesn't seen to be any prestige school for engineering or that i have been kept in the dark.Where do people usually go for thier engineering degree for a middle class family,like the places and uni available and what are the entry requirement? I hope it's not too high cause i am doing that well in physic right now .=P But i do really have intrest in it. HELP! thanks!

u can start by spelling engineering properly .

and yes, u have been kept in the dark. where have u been hiding all these while?

Haha done my correction.I have been quite indecisive about what to study for degree i was just thinking if i done well i should be able to go to any course i want but now.I am more than halfway thru per-u and i haven't decide what i am going to take as my degree i am a bit worried. I read the engineering post and it's quite helpful and but isn't much detail about the branches from the engineering tree.

Do a search here. Read more. You can just visit any websites of the institutions that you know and look up more info there.

i also born in middle class background but i never give up to take engineering courses ...although my family not encourage me take ce because the fees are quite high if i take in any ipts or private college...i advice u go ahead since u have good result in physics to take engineering course...i use ptptn for all the fees and this have reduce my parent money..and now im diploma civil engineering holder and going to take degree end of december hehe

pick generic chemical,electronic or mechanical engineering and try find a work in oil and gas company. Good money but very exhausting and dangerous

not include civil engineering? civil only can work at site and office ?

actually the picture is bigger than it appears Engineer1992.

take this for an example,

Just look at an F&B shop promoter.
What you see is that the promoter stands the whole day in the shop.

BUT.
the fact is,
[what you cannot see] The promoter actually needs to do some stock checking, some plus, minus works.
which IS very

hope this can clear your mind even just a bit

P/s : Hope you'll choose your best life decision

Yea good one. Being an engineer is not easy unless you really have passion for it.

Why do you wanna study engineering? not because it sounds good, I hope?

Haha because i am a science student and there's only two field i can go right? engineering or med... not smart enough to compete with those medical student then come engineering .Plus i like physic more than bio... but maybe i will consider bio engineering also but don't know what is the requirement looking though the forum for engineering stuff now . I don't get what is is ipts and only diploma student get credit transfer or other pre-u also?

engineering is too general.pls narrow down choice.what type of work u prefer,offshore,building,train,its too wide.as for me,aircraft maintenance engineer.

still got lots of science courses out there. just google about it. science is not just only engineering and med. have you heard bout science geomatics? science forensic analysis or science actuary? i think you should figure out what you really want to be. and if you choose engineering, remember that engineering is not just only about physic.in engineering got management,design,entrepreneurship.for example,if you take mechanical engineering you will learn chemistry which is material science/metallurgy.you will learn something about art and applying your creativity which is mechanical design and you will learn something about management which is industrial management. its not just about calculation.

Yes Oil and Gas company do employ Civil Engineers.

You don't really have to limit yourself into Engineering or Med. You have to know what and which field you really interested in before proceeding to taking the course. Like what already mentioned by our fellow LYN members, you really needs a lot of passion if you were to study Engineering courses. There are plenty of Engineering courses out there and each have its own major too.

IPTS (Institut Pengajian Tinggi Swasta) opposite of IPTA (Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam). Swasta is private, Awam is local (supported by Government funding).

Wrong.
Science students can go whichever course available.
be it accountancy or even a oceanography

what`s your passion in life that matters right?

+1 to the post above.

Just go for the course that you had the passion most.

Problem is i don't know what my real passion is ..

then why you take science..

Sit at home and rot and do nothing, that's the best, no?
Go and find it out! It's your interest, your responsibility to find it out.

You are asking medicine in other thread, here you are asking about engineering.

Have you read the engineering thread above? Please do so if you are not.

Go and find your passion!!!
