[QUOTE="P_driver, post: 444579, member: 139"] First to clarify something, my younger bro has taken my nick to reply to this post. So i will now reply from my prespective. Currently 4th year EE engineering in UNITEN. First and foremost to those interested in persuing the engineering path. Do you love add maths in SPM? Whatever the school teaches you the degree of difficulty is just 10% of what you will face when you enter first year. You will cry at the type of pembezaan and pengamiran that you are expected to perfom. That is for ME only, wait till you see the ones that is used in electrical. Instead of choosing whether you want to take automotive or mechanical, might as well take mechanical first. You can always switch over if you decided you have the interest. The basic concepts will always be same. Heck even i'm doin EE and i took thermodynamics (for use in understanding power plant designs) It is true that diploma will be easier to study as it has alot more hands on as compared to degree. Degree study concept all the way only. When you finish your diploma you can always go over to degree (transfer of credits will depend on the univerity and your grades. Get a C for a subject, very hard to transfer) Local unis are quite ok these days as compared to overseas and you don't have to fork out a single sen as there will always be PTPTN. Even if you study at those so called private unis, MMU, UNITEN..... PTPTN will cover full fees as compared to private colleges. Hope this helps and all the best to you [/QUOTE]
