I did a Bachelors in Accounting & Finance (finished top 1%), now just finished one of the professional accounting exams (not naming here because I'm easily doxxed).
I even won an award for one of their papers. Am working in Big 4 now. I usually score in top 5 percentile for most exams I take.

I'd say that ICAEW is much more difficult than ACCA.
I know someone who is taking ACCA now after failing several ICAEW papers.
I would say that ACCA is only tough because many Tom, Dick and Harry enroll in it for the money.

Engineering math is much tougher than normal math.
I took Further Math during A-level but mechanics was too difficult for me to comprehend.
Dropped it in the end.

Meanwhile, I picked up Accountancy during A-level with ease despite coming from pure science background.
Still managed to win 2 awards from Cambridge.

Because engineering in Malaysia isn’t really engineering. More like tech support and sales and project mgmt.

I wasted my 20s studying engineering, thought it paid off when I managed to graduate with Dean Commendation List from a top major Australian university which placed me in better position than even Yeo Bee Yin back then.

Came back to Malaysia to find a job closer to my parents and my first starting salary was just slightly above RM3k?  

Competition is intense and STEM demand in Malaysia is low.

Actually all the struggles and hardship learning those calculations they're rarely utilized in the real working world.

Even my senior colleagues who are brilliant staff engineers in the Silicon Valley admitted that what you learned in school rarely gets utilized on the job.

I'm surprise... no one even ask... what kind of engineering degree are we talking about here..
seems like a lot of people don't even know what are they even talking about...
Aerospace engineering and electrical engineering are hard...

Mechanical engineering... environmental engineering... etc. these are easy as hell degrees.... especially if it is not caltec/standford level.... their final year project is just rehash of shit already exist... farking degree mill jer

PEPC is funny in a sense that you're testing back the most fundamental stuff that people no longer practice (At least for civil, where the team touches on hydraulic, structural, geotechnical, traffic, etc), since they've specialized into a few core area.

The fundamental exam should be open right after degree, not after you get your PE.

Furthermore, there is no crackdown on people abusing the "engineer" title. I've seen people with no qualification doing the exact design job as those with a recognized degree.

Yet BEM thinks that having a more tiered system will improve the industry.
There are a gazillion shit that is wrong with engineering in Malaysia, yet the governing board just minum kopi and fight with IEM once in a while 

Exactly! better test the competency of graduates upon graduation, bet most can straight away qualified for Ir minus the experiences which I think is possible judging on how some university lecturers who manage to get Ir title without having practical experiences lol.

BEM is always sleeping when it comes to abuse of engineer title. Seriously even the biggest MNC so called engineers did not registered for BEM & some with management degree given the operation engineer title. lol.

BEM only interested collecting fees.

Sure we've got Washington Accord and all that but at an international level, how well is "Ir" or "PEPC" recognised

How he kantoi? Kena goldfingered by subcons snd suppliers? Internal investigations? Got MACC case ka?

I thought he only has SPM? Can call himself engineer and open engineering firm?

  I think you jump into wrong rabbit hole.
In Malaysia, most university got Basic and Advanced Level for Electromagnetic Theory.
You do not need to jump into really deep into triple integrals.

Also even I went for Huawei MY, I don't see anyone talk about playing with "Triple Integral Electromagnetic Theory" Maxwell's Equation, and other bullshit.

Also Convolutional Neural Networks, its more towards "application based" compared to design those from scratch.
You want to learn design of CNNs you better go take Computer Science or Software Engineering and a Degree in Mathematics 

Ya lo. And who will be the one who decide how to configure the AI for financial reporting?

According to Liamness, it is the engineer who studied 4 years in uni. Engineers are the master race. 

All hail Liamness the holy saviour.

USM's EE course structure:

bro, alot of the courses already updated to teach python too.

Those new engineers are coming out with updated programming knowledge.

anyways, programming is clearly part of an engineer course and very fundamental too. I can't imagine any course not having teach basic programming or coding in this day and age. 

It's a fundamental skill! Pity those finance grads who don't know how to code haha..
