Hello all,

As a graduate from MMU, let me share my experience here. And btw, I took Electronics Engineering course too.

Qualification: I got 8A's for SPM, add math, math is A1, but physic A2. When I got my SPM result, I was kinda lost, I do not know what I want to do, I just do not want to take F6. I was not so sure what engineering is about, but it 99% sounds cool, I am a female btw.

Financial worry: In case you are worry of the fee(but I assume you are not, bcoz both UTAR and MMU is in par in fees), I can assure you almost all if not ALL of us, the mmu-ian get loan easily from PTPTN. Except the first time payment(less than RM 2k), I had never forked out any $ for the tuition fees. But be prepared that you need to have pocket money from your parents as allowances.

Pre- University: Engineering Course in MMU requires 5 years for SPM leaver. 1 year for Foundation Year(mine in Melaka, not sure now if they have Pre-U in Cyberjaya) and 4 years with Faculty Year(either Cyberjaya or Melaka). Most of the engineering subject for Engineering Pre-U are to general physic instead of electronics.

Lecturer : On my experience, if you are more to spoon-fed education, MMU is not really the one for you. Here, you will only get 30% of the lecturer to spoon-fed you, if you were lucky enough. I myself, believe that lecturer=10% while your own effort is 90%. Fully attendance doesn't ensure you pass the subject. Your own effort make you score the papers.
You might met some lecturer that was not good at teacing, that will make you hate that subject if you are the type that are counting on GOOD lecturers to teach you everything.

Facilities : The library was good, and the best (my opinion) is the online system, we call it MMLS, where is the place the lecturer will upload all their teaching material so that the student can have a copy prior to class. I always use only this notes as my revision material. Same applies to tutorial, some lecturer will be kind enough to upload the answer of the tutorial for your reference(I mean after the tutorial discussion)

Exam: Normally, it is 60% on final project and 40% on coursework which involve mid term paper

Culture : On my observation, the majority of student in Engineering Course were Chinese. Most of the assignments(calculation type) solution will be circulated a day before the due date. So, I don't really bother to finish my own assignment, unless the nature of assignment is on programming or paper writing. Think of "sharing is caring" for assignment. Yeah, that also applied before exam, the culture of "pinjam tutorial" aka. copying solved tutorial for own revision.

Food: Cyberjaya is really lacked of entertainment and food. Without a car, getting decent chinese food nearby is quite a tedius task. As for entertainment, computer will be you best friend I can say. Melaka is good with food but I somehow feel that Cyberjaya have more university life. Don't ask me why, maybe Melaka is surrounded by lots of houseing area

Hope this helps you. And during my batch, MMU graduate get more advantages to compare with UTAR in job hunting.
