I had an interview in PJ today. We chat a lot during the interview. The interviewer said most of the fresh graduate from local U and kolej nowadays can't meet the requirement from the market. What they learn can't implemented in company. The interviewer quite confused with my degree.

I'm graduated from UKM with a degree of Computer and Communication Engineering, but I found that it's quite hard for me to get a job now. There got several questions I can't answer, maybe u can help me...

Am I Telecommunication Engineer?
I didn't learn RF and radio network design, just briefly know about GSM/WCDMA...

Am I Computer Engineer?
There's no programming language is offered such as MS SQL, Java, Perl, Oracle...

Am I Network Engineer?
I know nothing about router, switch, LAN, WAN...

Am I EE Engineer?
I didn't learn more about CMOS, VHDL, Verilog...

But just to answer the question above about

LOCAL GRAD= SUCKS.

The answer is a BIG "NO" from me. It depends a lot on individual. I would say that those that enter through Form 6 are good. Give local grads a chance, they dont have rich parents who can send them overseas but they sure work their arses off since form 6.

Local Grad in Local U speak malay, as for me, i'm chinese educated, speak malay with lecturer and chinese with fren. some interview require speak fluently in english, that's why i failed. coz when i speak, the interviewer sure will know how's my english standard

Well my point is to correct ur assumption.(if u assuming that)

It not the same as what the thread poster taking.
He's taking Computer and communication engineering. That will be what he study for the whole 4 years in UKM.

Where in UTP, we only take it in final year. 4 subjects only(electives to be precise).
Whoever took "Computer Systems Engineering" and/or "Communications Systems" still an Electrical & Electronics engineering student(major).
IMO, using this to compare with that is not that "approriate".

sorry, my situation also same as UTP grad. For 1st 3 years, I study about EE thing, then final year choose to major in telecommunication.

Computer and Communication ... it should be related to computer networking right? ... How come you can not knowing about router, switch, LAN and WAN etc?

Unless your computer and communication are somekinda talking to your computer technique ... ??? Like how to use Skype.

no, there's no course about router, switch is offered. now, i just start self study CCNA. Too late, too pathetic...

in final years, i choose:
1. Radio and Satellite Communication
2. Telecommunication Network
3. Optical Communication
4. Operating System
