to sexualpower: if a person is about to enter a uni, which uni would u recommend?

for accounting -> UTAR & local uni (bold and decisively fast to take the step to go from 4 years back to 3 years degree, in line with international standards)
for everything else -> public uni (i don't see anything justifiable in paying 30k - 60k more to get a degree except for a little more in knowledge not taught from books when encountering highly educated lecturers who devote their lives to educating others)

we've all paid taxes so that the government can help us in return by building public uni and subsidizing~ RM3.5k per year for IT courses if not mistaken~ and it's about 10k per year if it's private~ difference = no subsidizing by government if u go private, the tax money you paid is simply given to someone else~ facilities-wise, public uni always win~ what about location? you are free to pick from at least many states, johor UTM, KL UKM UM UTM postgrad etc.

how about the lecturers? the syllabus? the government is well aware when they planned to reduce some of the 4 years courses back to 3 years~ the government is aware of international changes when it comes to education~

you will still see many people going to private institutions~ let me give u a picture, i've worked with inti and i've heard stories of how much the China students spend per day~ 10k on 1 night of leisure~ i've been in MMu and it's almost the same~ i've seen international students pull stunts with their 2nd hand wira, 2nd hand iswara as if they cost nothing~

the reason for their expenditure comes from many reasons~ middle east countries allow scholarships which doesn't rely on results but rely on studying in a foreign country like Msia~ once they get a diploma, they are elligible and will be able to continue towards a degree in any other countries fully paid~

the students from China previously mentioned from Inti have loads of money coz it's "black money", that's what I heard from the people inside INTI~ what better way than to spend your money abroad by transferring your money to swiss bank account and letting your son or daughter access it for expenditure on any assets in a foreign country?

To sexualpower,

I will do what is necessary as a representative of MMU..
thankx for the heads up...

Hi,I'm now taking serious consideration taking Mech eng course in MMU after assessment between Melaka Campus n all Utar campus. I'm just taken SPM results.

Just 1 2 ask few question:
1: Is it all students that come to Melaka campus 1st time live at emerald hostel?
2:Is thr any other hostel/house near campus(walk distance 2 campus) beside emerald hostel?
3:If I fail 1 subs at a trimester, will I have 2 refer(extend 1 yr 2 study again)?
4: I'm currently waiting result 4 matriculation which announces at 17 April, so I was planning 2 appeal if my application fail n the appeal result due 2 announce at 22 MAy. So wat shd I do if I choose waiting 4 the appeal result n didnt reply 2 the MMU letter offer? Will it b late if I accept MMU offer after appeal result fail?

1.nop,some choose live at ixora
2.ixora
3.can take sub
4.can. . . gt $$ can d . .

3: yes, need to wait 1 whole year~ reason is that about 99% of all subjects are offered only in 1 particular semester
4: my advice is to apply for all universities and colleges~ application costs only RM10 - 30~ u need to pay only AFTER u get accepted and when u are about to start~

i strongly advice u to stay away from MMU's mechanical engineering due to the 50% failure rate in sem1 of academic year 0809 being from one of mechanical's subject, fluid mechanics, which is one of the 5 subjects in a 3 year pre-requisite~ truth is, those 83 students failed the final exam out of a total of about 160 students~ you have to pass fluid mechanics in order to take fluid dynamics, and in turn, u need to pass fluid dynamics in order to be eligible to go for another 2 subjects in the final year~ in other words, if u fail these subjects called "pre-requisites", you are going to have delay for the related subjects as well

here r the students who failed in sem1 0809, u can view the file after changing the extention to .xls~ taking a look at the fluid mechanics won't do u harm, this is concrete proof though it is in sem1 of this academic year~

May I know more about the lecturers and students there? And also, the Malacca's campus? How big it is

for mechanical as well? Malacca campus is not big and have problem with the students parking. lecturers are leaving and more students are coming in... what do you think?

Added on March 31, 2009, 9:49 amin addition to that, MMU is considering to extend students who fail. Since there will be a change in trimester, now there will even consider extending the students. For example, student form FBL faculty failed subject name ABC. Usually, if u fail for the subject, you will take supplementary exam after 2 weeks when the next semester reopens. but for now, as many students take the advantage of supplementary exam, students who fail will have to take the supp paper next semester. Means for now, FAIL=EXTEND. but this policy has not yet be imposed but will do so when the change of semester takes place..

is tat now melaka campus really so bad???

If I study electronics courses, will I b able 2 work at oil company, eg shell, mobil exxon?

What is BEng.Hons Electronics Majoring in Microwave & Communications?

How can I check out all the undergraduate course structure 4 MMU ? I need it quite desperately coz i missed both MMU's campus open day

Anything is possible! I've just attended an interview with an oil and gas company. Im final year student in electronics engineering maj. telecommunications from mmu. I wonder why they called me at the first place too, but they said as a fresh grad, they are looking more into proactive and hardworking candidates.
But of course, if you already know what you want, then might as well take chemical or mechanical engineering. these are the 2 major field considered by oil companies.

my 2 cents...hehe!

.

Wow this makes me scared i juzz got my online offer for mech today, guys please advice i haven't looked at UTAR
Hows the lab fascility? I am a diploma tele grad frm mmu melaka in 2007 but it has been 2 years since i was out.

Thx wembley 4 ur answer. I appreciate it.

So which field/course do u guys tink mmu strong at? Actually I was trying 2 avoid study at Melaka coz of private reasons(not entertainment, independent or lifestyle problem). N i really really wanna study at MMU coz it is damn great institution n work at oil company(if possible). But the sad thing all the course I like is located at Melaka

So lets say I pick electrical majoring in microwave n communications/optical engineering/nanotechnology, will I able 2 work at oil company?

I JUST WANT an engineering course at Cyberjaya that enable me 2 work at oil company. Any advice or comment from all parties is welcomed.

To Mr Gavin: How can I check the courses structure at MMU website?

Added on March 31, 2009, 7:49 pmMy uncle that graduate at Utar 2yrs ago as E&E eng told me UTAR's facilities is not so sophisicated as MMU as from wat my uncle say UTAR is lack of fund 2 provide enough facilities 4 students. In conclusion, MMU is much much better than Utar in all aspect. I post this is not 2 promote MMU but is through assessment between these 2 campus.

Some more the mech eng course at utar is not accredited by BEM n the 1st batch of mech eng student is due 2 graduate next yr

Bro trust me melaka is 110% better than cyber, unless u have enough funds for a car then cyber will be okey for you.
I lived in melaka for 2 years 3 months i found it good....
Undergraduate From here i think you should be able to navigate yourself.

Actually it should be which field/course you think you are strong at. Then only you find a suitable uni. One can only maximize its talent by doing something he loves to do. If you are really interested working at oil company, go for courses that are related to it (chemical eng etc). At least you have the extra drive/motivation.

from bad to worse

no idea about facilities but you should try buying a desktop less than Rm1k or a laptop less than RM2.5k but laptop battery lifespan is 1 1/2 years average

who says MMu is "great institution n work at oil company"? O&G, the highest paying company will just hire any grads that fits its criteria~ any idea how many stages of interview u need to go through? u need to firstly apply and go for an initial interview where they will let you talk on a random topic for 20min~ if u pass this, u need to go for a 3-days camp~ then, only 10-15% of the participants get a job which you can't choose at all, they choose the job for you~ u're requested to use newspaper and duct tapes to construct oil rigs and they'll even use a fan to try out the stability of the structure~ at the end, the final interview consists of tests on your knowledge of engineering~

electrical engineers are needed everywhere, no technician can design wiring systems (qualification factor, though experience can teach anyone any skill)

1) why must it be mechanical engineering?
2) do u know that the Dean of MMU Malacca said no longer than 2 months ago that Mechanical engineering in MMU may not be offered anymore in the near future?

by the way, if u're so much into money, why not go for some business course?
how many private universities do u see having no BEM recognition? BEM recognition is for academic purposes, for you to be an academician to gain the faster route towards a professional engineer, Ingeniur, who is someone qualified to have an Ir. title~ anyone going for money won't wanna go the way of the academician~ do u plan on becoming a teacher or earn money?

probably a good question to ask would be "what exactly is your goal"?

hohohohohoh

No offense meaning in ans ur question..
1.I choose mechanical eng is 4 my personal interest and I found it quite flexible in terms of job seeking and versatile as chem/civil/electrical eng.
2.Sadly though no student told me about this when visiting the campus open day. But just curious y Mech eng may not b able offer in future?
3.I tinking working at oil platform coz I like the adventure 2 work in such place n is a passion 4 me 2 b able 2 work at oil company. I'm not a good material in studying business course.
4. An eng course recognise by BEM not necessary is liimited 2 academician n teaching purposes, the title Ir can b apply 2 work as well. Indeed not very much private's u course is accredited by BEM, but from my point of view, it is necessary 2 get recognised course so that thr wont b much hindrance when graduated n seek 4 job, b it private or government.
5.Actually my goal is hope 2 get a eng course that enable me 2 work at oil company(present thinking, future might b diff) at Cyberjaya campus only. Now bit loss coz all eng course at Cyberjaya is related 2 electronics n I dunno wat 2 choose liao

electrical engineering is offered in cyberjaya..
