I'm a final Eng student from MMU. I think I can give some view on faculty of engineering cyberjaya.

true facts:
-ppl cant see any intake ad, but if u flip through classified, u will c MMU is hiring lots of lecturers.. MMU is really short of lecturers. Currently this is my final sem, I'm taking 2 subjects +FYP. imagine the 2 subjects was taught by 2 new lecturer which i can say with no teaching experience.
- 1 president, 2 deans, lots of assoc dean and senior lecturers resigned and move out of MMU. I can say 80% move to UTAR.
- Clubs and association activities is getting lesser and lesser. the campus is so boring now. MMUians should know how "happening" is MMU last year compare to this year, activities like GDC, tournaments and pasar malam..


I know that UTAR is still new, but the one controlling it is MMU ex-faculty of engineering dean aka vice president. He and gauth are the man behind the success of MMU. Why MMU degree was recognised by BEM and industry because he have the know how to set the course outline relevant to current requirements.

So what i can see that, UTAR will be a better Uni. they have tons of money, good research facility and handful of good lecturers. Minus point is, Kampar is a bit ulu la, no entertainment.

if u wan more personal advice, do pm me. will try to help..

wow, looks like UTAR will be growing rapidly in next few years.

i see i see.. rupa-rupanya is students problem.. but at least dont fail ma..
really admire those rich students.. can do whatever they wish..

lecturers' role in education is not small~ they control the quality of education when they lecture, they control your grades when they bring in examination questions and they are involved in carry over marks~

anyway, do u have any idea how high we're talking about here? the statistics provided by SRC on Cyberjaya as well as a sample list of failures from Malacca (in .xls) file can be downloaded from the MMu thread~

only speaking the truth, i'm here to provide information~ if you think that there are anything encouraging about MMU, pls write it here so that it can benefit the applicants~ I hope that instead of just saying that A is not studying, therefore he should fail or B is writing bad things about MMu, he should die (I write based on facts and my opinions, which are as concise as I can go in helping)~ well, u could write something on-topic to help applicants decide~

Doesn't matter where you study. As long as you are good at what you do, you will be able to impress your interviewers in the future.

Study in MMU doesn't mean you will go very far. Don't judge the institute, judge yourself.

BTW, if you are choosing between campuses, why not choose according to location and convenience? If you stay in Melaka, then MMU is a better choice. Likewise for UTAR campuses.

1st
loan need to repay, just reminding~

2nd
to your question, which i assume is a question as it isn't a fact and there are so many question marks at the back~ courses that are recognized or not depends on many factors, which are partially available at the MQA webby and answer is here -> http://www.utar.edu.my/subcontentPage1.jsp...tid=465&catid=3

3rd
UTAR was formed by MCA, I don't know the chances for getting PTPTN here as I have never studied there but MMu students can get PTPTN at a high %

4th
Cyberjaya MMu need car or motor as the campus is at least 500m away, the nearest faculty would be engineering, then followed by the business faculty~ any idea how it is in Cyberjaya? only 1 bus to connect u to the Putrajaya bus station~ Malacca campus, always can't find parking, got car also useless, need to park outside of the campus and then walk in~ no idea about Kampar but then again, how far do u need to travel from Cyberjaya to KL for shopping? food for thought, i think it's at least 15km to any proper civilization~ around 2km away from Malacca campus, u have Jusco and Malacca Mall, the new one~

5th
u sure? have u been to Kampar?~ any idea how big it is? I've been in MMu and had 1 gf during my first year but after that, can't even find a leng lui~

Added on March 28, 2009, 11:20 amquality... it's a big word.. i don't think after writing over 200 words can i come to any conclusion~ but i'd like to add that you should be your own judge on what quality means to you~ is it facilities? lecturers' teaching? examination questions? the things books don't teach u? the administration and policies? the list seems endless~ I'll be more than happy to help on the MMu side~

Girls are not important when choosing universities...moreover, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Kampar is a small town. The newest place you can go shopping, if i'm not mistaken, is Tesco. Other than that, there aren't many places you can go. As for food, you can always have chicken biscuit for snacks~ I love it. Nearest area with better "lepak" places would be Ipoh. Or you can go Teluk Intan to see the Menara Condong Teluk Intan.

Regarding the fluid mechanics I and fluid mechanics II these two subject are the hardest in bachelor of mechanical engineering, i was the graduation of this course from MMU few years ago, so i know well about the toughest of this subject, but at my time there, only 10 -20 % fail rate for this subject, i not sure how come the fail rate of my junior batch increase so much, or MMU try to increase the standard and mark follow by ISO ...

Added on March 28, 2009, 12:37 pmAnyway, that subject only for ME, but not for other engineering like EE, CE, Tele and other faculty course like IT, accounting and business .. if you not plan to take ME, that is nothing to worried about ...

haha

drive BMW to school, how yeng is it you know..
all girls sure looks at you..

As i know, without any credit for science subject, mmu will not accept ur request.

haha..
come utar.. bcz i am UTARian here..

Quality tat i meant are lecturer's teaching, examination questions, some of the UTAR's lecturer were lazy teaching, n juz giving off tips for their students during finals, dont even care bout their student ability. Their students tend to rely on tips n become lazier ti study n juz hope for tips ==

now uni is tends to like this..

But according to my fren who's studying in mmu, their lecturer r hardworking enuff, good in teaching, everything r clear, unlike UTAR's lecturer, teach as to faster finish class, sometime students dun even clear wat thy were taught.

haha, but now students like those lecturers that are cincai cincai one.. no need to do so many things..

mmu got awesome lecturers!
hahaha.. give tips before midterms and exams...
so u can answer them easily during the finals!
wakkakakaa..
so thats y one of the reasons i like mmu lecturers..
