My professor said, "You cannot be an engineer if your are not good in math."
Yes, math in engineering is far more comprehensive than the ACCA math.
Is engineering harder than ACCA?

QUOTE(andylyc @ Jun 8 2021, 08:46 AM) ACCA You should compare ACCA with professional engineer exam. Those are degree/diploma exam paper.The lecturer is another person The person who set the exam questions another person The person who mark your answer script another person Nobody know each other Engineering The lecturer is your university lecturer The person who set the exam questions is your university lecturer The person who mark your answer script is your university lecturer  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/routes-profe...icle-card_title |

QUOTE(Darkripper @ Jun 7 2021, 09:30 PM) I'm pretty sure traditional engineering course (civil, chemical, mechanical) doesn't teach C++. Correction: ALL engineers need to learn programming. Usually the baseline is C or its variants / descendants / extensions, or whatever is taught at CS101 or its equivalent. 1st year undergrad studies for most Engineering courses are pretty much common across all engineering disciplines: (Engineering Math & Statistics, Engineering Materials 101, Computer Science 101 are usually the core courses). However programming languages do evolve over time and newer languages are added and maybe old ones updated or removed.Btw, those who think that AI will replace accountant/doctor/lawyer is so naive, they will work alongside them. A software system is pretty damn fragile, you think that it can handle everything so smoothly? Just look at driverless tech, how many years of hype already? sauce: me. Mat Eng grad.

QUOTE(Liamness @ Jun 8 2021, 08:40 AM) Like I've said, AI is now machine learning and autonomous. It can make decisions based on the book keeping info. If thats your assessment of how far AI is going to go, i see 80% of engineers being replaced.Decisions like how to save money, how to optimize operations, when do you need to replace parts and assets, how and when to declare profits/losses to maximise tax breaks & many more decisions can now be made by intelligent AI software. The function of an accountant is quickly being removed. Not just for book keeping, but for critical functions and decision making too. The CFO is no longer going to be a position helmed by a person, it will be an AI robot who plays that role in the next 2-5 years. |

Anyways, gotten my ACCA Membership few years ago and never looked back. Those 5 years pass by really quickly to get certified. |

QUOTE(Darkripper @ Jun 6 2021, 10:12 AM) Good that it works out for you eventually. I forsee I might be back to do these tradesman lines after retirement. Take it while still young. Kinda require some heavy works especially for 3 phase practical training. |

Because it's mostly reading and memorizing what you've read. Instead of doing actual calculations or problem solving. It's like taking a more comprehensive version of a drivers license exam.  . CFA is like taking a truck driver license, motorbike, car, boat and bus licence all at once. It's just a matter of how much knowledge you can retain to pass the exam. |

Can't really speak for accountants but if someone said I'd have to resit my whole EnE degree again I'd rather go dai.
I didn't really fancy the whole process. |
