            <description>Good day guys. I am going to further my studies in Mechanical Engineering in a few months time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is your feedback on the local Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering course at Nottingham University Malaysia,4years programme?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a.) Are the lecturers :&lt;br /&gt;- Academically strong in the topics that they teach? (unsatisfactory/ &lt;br /&gt;moderate / excellent )&lt;br /&gt;- Are they from Engineering backgrounds? (Yes / No)&lt;br /&gt;- Do they have Engineering PhDs with them? ( Yes / No)&lt;br /&gt;- Did they spark the interest of Engineering in you? (unsatisfactory/ &lt;br /&gt;moderate / excellent )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b.) Are the Mechanical Engineering students competitive? {eg are they driven &lt;br /&gt;towards engineering or they just come to class then go back type, &lt;br /&gt;especially for group projects, are they really interested in building things or &lt;br /&gt;just leave one competitive guy to do everything- generally speaking. &lt;br /&gt;Because surely always there will be a few students like that} ( Yes/ No)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c.) Your thought on the level of hands-on experience that you get from the &lt;br /&gt;academic(not extra - curriculum) modules. Is it mostly exam based &lt;br /&gt;and studying about machines or do we get to see, feel and use those &lt;br /&gt;machines. (unsatisfactory/ moderate / excellent )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d.) Do they have a wide variety of engineering facilities for the M.Eng &lt;br /&gt;undergraduate engineers to carry out engineering related manufacturings ?&lt;br /&gt;(unsatisfactory/ moderate / excellent )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;e.) How will students be assessed? {eg: 50% exam, 50% continuous assessment?}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THESE QUESTIONS ARE STRICTLY FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE STUDIED OR IS CURRENTLY STUDYING THE UNDERGRADUATE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COURSE IN NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>I&amp;#39;m offered scholarship from Taylor&amp;#39;s Uni</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4321465</link>
            <description>Hello there  , I really need a quick help , I am not strong&lt;br /&gt;financially . I want to study engineering and recently , I have&lt;br /&gt;managed to obtain the TAYLOR&amp;#39;S WORLD CLASS SCHOLARSHIP 2017 for my&lt;br /&gt;foundation in engineering and bachelor in M.Eng which will cover all&lt;br /&gt;my academic fees till my degree but i have also managed to obtain an&lt;br /&gt;offer for foundation in mechanical engineering at Universiti Teknologi Petronas . Based on my&lt;br /&gt;research and the latest QS world ranking, UTP is definitely way better&lt;br /&gt;than TAYLOR&amp;#39;S UNIVERSITY . As a result , I am confused whether to&lt;br /&gt;study at UTP or TAYLOR&amp;#39;S ? Will TAYLOR&amp;#39;S give me the right platform in&lt;br /&gt;mechanical engineering ?And are there any internal scholars available&lt;br /&gt;at UTP besides the ones mentioned in their webpage because i heard there&lt;br /&gt;are a few ... so I am confused on how those scholars work .Please help&lt;br /&gt;me . Thanks a lot .</description>
