Something more mature :P

My earlier posts are quite..i cant really describe them but for sure its not that mature. Perhaps i should write something more serious?lets start with UTP!


UTP is having an election in few days to choose student's representative. Last year this one guy won but i think he didn't get the president seat because what i heard, at last it is the management decision to elect the president. So why vote?haha. I read one of the candidates blog. He wrote on his manifesto. What he will do if he is been elected as the president. As usual, internet, exam, schedule, and so on.

But if you were to ask me. What if i were the president?Ehem ehem..
I would ask UTP to revise back the syllabus or the structure of the curriculum. One of my classmates has been nagging bout this since our final year. And i admit, our structure is ridiculous. Im not sure who decide about it but im pretty sure something can be done to correct it.

Lets take Electrical&Electronics course for example since im taking this course. And let me be the example :P

I want to major in instrument and control. But i can only do this during my final year. From my 1st year until my 3rd year, i have to take few (most?) unrelated subjects to my majoring. Such as signal&processing, digital system processing, communication system, analogue, power electronics. And most of these subjects carry high credit hours!

Why dont they allow us to major earlier?then we can focus on the subjects that are related to what we want to do in the future. Split plant process to 2 semesters. Teach us on how to use MATLAB for 1 semester for heaven sake!Teach us how to drag all those block diagrams, how to insert the functions.

Then the management may say, then you cant be a well rounded EE engineer because you wont know other specialization. Then perhaps instead of cutting off those subject, lower the credit hours?hehe..or cut off the mathematics side (how to derive equations etc), and teach us the concept. Like harmonics!kinda important term. But what we learned, is how to calculate?why dont teach us on what it is actually and how do they occur in motors. Basic understanding is very important.

Well, if you know any of the candidates, do show this post to him/her. If only you agree with me. Hurm i want a change but im too lazy to take action. My bad. This change may be too late for our batch but it will help our new intakes. Ok I have to study for Multimedia Network test. (another subject that should be about understanding the basic concept. Leave the complicated part to communication guys pls!) Later.

p/s: how bout other courses?i bet chemical ppl will say they dont need fydp..haha
