UTHM - aka KUITTHO
UTHM Graduates Have Upper Hand
By Jason Gerald John
MANY graduates find it difficult coping with the needs of the industry once they enter the job market but at University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), this problem does not arise.
UTHM graduates are in hot demand by the industry.
"That most of its students are able to secure a job within six months of their graduation is a testament to this," says Deputy vice- chancellor Prof Dr Hashim Saim.
"Our problem-based learning concept gives our students the upper hand when they venture into the job market as they require only minimum training from the industry before they are able to perform their tasks.
"While in the university, the students are exposed to various challenges and problems so that they can put into practice what they have learned in theory.
"They are given problems which sometimes can be mind boggling and they have to solve them within a stipulated time. This is why they are able to handle any situation when they enter the job market."
Hashim says UTHM has entered a new era and is ready to shoulder the responsibility as a centre of academic excellence.
In line with its mission to become a world-class institution of higher learning by 2013, UTHM works closely with industries to constantly improve itself.
Its relationship with local and foreign companies has managed to strengthen its status as a technological university, hence enabling it to offer programmes catering to the needs of industries.
The university has taken the input from industries into consideration when developing its curriculum. In fact, programmes offered by UTHM are industryfriendly and reviewed according to their needs.
With a dose of industryorientated training and a dash of strong theoretical background, UTHM is poised to churn out top engineers and technologists.
Not only do we have the capabilities, we also have some of the best and up-to-date facilities to help students in their quest for the best education," said Hashim.
It also places emphasis on quality management, as proven by its MS ISO 9001:2000 accreditation accorded in 2001.
The university offers diploma, degree and postgraduate courses in the technical field under six faculties, namely Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Technical Education, Faculty of Management Technology, and Faculty of Information Technology and Multimedia.
Three academic centres provide support to the faculties. They are the Centre of Postgraduate Study, Centre of Science Studies and Centre of Humanities and Communication.
UTHM courses offered include Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, Technical and Vocational Education, Science in Management of Technology (Constructions) and Science in Management Technology (Real Estate).
In the area of research, the university won two silver and two bronze medals at the 34th International Exhibition of Inventions, New Techniques and Products in Geneva and a gold, silver and bronze medals at the Seoul International Invention Fair (SIIF) last year.
Some of the inventions submitted included Automated Guided Vehicles for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring, Automotive Air- Conditioning Simulator Machine, eDI Water Treatment for pH Improvement and Private Vehicle Tracking and Control Using SMS.
UTHM offers co-curricular activities which develop students' character and leadership qualities as well as communication skills.

interesting topic...
gurl graduate from kutkm ..aka UTem n br je grad...maybe i'm lucky, g 1st interview n dpt kerja... letih jugak nk xplain biler employer assume kutkm tue private uni but as long as we know how to impress them, it's ok then..
rasenye tak kesah kiter blajar kat ner.. yg pnting, ader soft skill.. jgn harapkn pointer je tinggi. yelah, education skrg kan more into examination based..tp tak reti wat kije..
rasenye tak salah KU ditubuhkan..n di'upgrade' jd Uni.. jgn tgk -ve side. biler tak dpt kijer, nape nak salahkan org lain ? nape tak carik slh sndri? gurl tgk citer 'please give me a job'..job trainer marah giler kat graduate sbb resume hampehhsss, pastue taknak improve diri..tau carik salah orang jer..
after had hard time being labelled as 2nd class Uni...i'm proud to be one of KU graduates :pompom: |

setuju 100% nak cepat naik apply kat mana2 KU..
but i'm disagree bila u kata KU di'upgrade'kan ke U... dari perkataan tu sbnrnya dah menampakkan double standard.. sebenarnya 'ditukar' sahaja.. standard KU sama je dgn U.. saya perasan perkataan 'menaiktaraf' ni juga pernah terkeluar dari orang2 politik.. sbnrnya silap... dan bila dah guna word tu menunjukkan mmg dipersetujui KU sblm ni adalah 2nd class...  |

betul la tu perkataan dinaiktarafkan...
dari cuma boleh ambil tak lebih 10 ribu pelajar, dinaiktarafkan supaya boleh ambil lebih 10 ribu pelajar...
sensitif rupanya orang kita ni ye? ;) |

rasanya naiktaraf tu berlaku sebab ada rungutan dari pihak2 tertentu yang merasa diri mereka dianaktirikan dan dipandang rendah.
secara realitinya memang swasta kurang mengenali kolej universiti ni.
tapi aku ada mendengar (dari suatu sumber yang boleh tahan kredibilitinya) yang pelajar KU ni kualiti kerja diorang bagus, sebab hands on diorang mantap. cuma dari segi teori tu kurang sikit..
lagipun time aku dulu (tak tau sekarang camne..) degree engineering diorang dipanggil ijazah sarjana muda (teknologi kejuruteraan). so ada sedikit perbezaan di situ.. maybe pada nama aje kot. dari segi level tak pasti pulak. cuma masa taklimat yang aku dengar dulu, teknologi kejuruteraan ni biasanya diserapkan sebagai assistant engineer. (betulkan kalau salah..)
ada siapa2 boleh terangkan apa beza degree kejuruteraan dengan degree teknologi kejuruteraan? |

pembetulan skit la dr artikel ko nih...sebenarnye kat KU teori die sama je ngn teori yg diajar kt konvesional universiti. Beza nya hanya pada soalan final kot. Kalau nk compare soalan exam utk subjek Electric Circuit antara UTM ngn KUTKM(UTeM)...beza nya sgt byk. Utm nye soalan final sgt2 la ssh. Kutkm(UTeM) nih tak la sesusah UTM. Aku da try jawab soalan UTM..haha...serius la ssh gile. So, kesimpulan yg aku dpt wt kt sini.....teori yg di ajar kt KU nih adalah untuk support kepada aplikasi or hands on tu. So, papehal teori mmg penting jgk la. Tapi jgn la smpai terlampau detail sbb kt industry tak pakai pn. Yg biase pakai pn yg basic2 theory je kecuali kite nih R&D engineer. |

yg pasal degree teknologi kejuruteraan tu...yg aku tau kt msia nih...degree teknologi kejuruteraan hanya ditawarkan kt uniKL ngn KUittho(UTHM) je. KU lain sume tawarkan kos Bachelor of Engineering. Tapi kt kuittho ade ditawarkan kos degree or engineering jgk. keje jadi asistant engineer tu aku tak pasti.. aku rs tak kot. Die sbrnye depend kepada company yg nk hire ko tu. Kalau kt swasta...diploma pon boleh jadi engineer. Tak yah degree pon tak pe. Untuk pengetahuan korg...Bachelor of Engineering Technology nih sbnrnye tak diiktiraf oleh Board of Engineers (BEM)... Ini adalah disebabkan malaysia tak de satu badan teknikal yg boleh nk iktiraf org2 teknikal nih..tak mcm kt Europe. Higher National Diploma pon tak diiktiraf. Hanya Bachelor of Engineering sahaja yg diiktiraf. So, kalau sesape yg ade Bachelor of Engineering Technology pastu teringin nk jadi Professional Enginneer (Ir) mmg tak dpt la... |

mana2 teori pun, ko pergi serata dunia pun teori tetap sama, takkan berubah..
maksud aku adalah sejauh mana penekanan terhadap teori..
macam dalam matematik juga.
matematik tulen bagi penekanan pada teori yang hasilkan teorem, usulan dengan takrif.
matematik gunaan pulak lebih kepada terbitan teori dan kaedah pengiraan.
analoginya sama la juga dengan kejuruteraan. |

spot on..
maksud aku dari segi ruang lingkup keje, teknologi kejuruteraan lebih kepada teknikaliti.. (di antara technician dengan engineer..) |

bukan sensitif... hanya menjelaskan... inilah antara masalah IPTA yg dimulai dgn 'KU' dan antara masalahnya orang kerajaan sendiri tak tau asal usul kewujudan KU.. KU dan U adalah setaraf .. boleh dilihat dari segi kelayakan program... boleh check dalam website JPA utk pengiktirafan program equivalent atau tidak... beza KU dan U... KU mengkhusus dalam bidang2 tertentu terutamanya engineering dan lebih bersifat teknikal... utk mahir dalam bab teknikal kena ada hands on.. boleh dibandingkan dari segi jam pertemuan pelajar dalam seminggu... bila register subjek 17 kredit tidak bermakna jam pertemuan seminggu adalah 17 jam.. di KU kadang2 17 kredit bersamaan dengan 25 atau lebih jam seminggu.. ini disbbkan di KU byk aktiviti lab... dan ada KU yg mewajibkan at least 60% coursework, final 40% dan ada course 100%coursework... |

maybe HRO intel tu hanya buat penilaian kt 2-3 org je kot. tak sume camtu... masuk la U mane2 pon. Klu individu tu pemalas n tak ley bla...pemalas n tak ley bla jugak la. Yg penting terpulang pada inidividu. Universiti nih just tempat nk blaja n dptkn ijazah je. Tak de universiti kat dunia nih boleh jamin graduan yg kuar dr U tu kompem dpt keje n perfect 100%. |

gurl ...:setuju: ngam xkostonx...
smua ader pro n con..too much practical, less on theory takleh jugak..
blaja theory je..taktau nk hands on plak..so kene balance ar...
kl uni tue ajar theory..student kene la work harder..learn how to apply..
maybe HRO intel ckp graduan KU nie tak competent..lack of theory..
cmne plak klau tempat gurl prak dulu..takmo mbik student from U** sbb tak reti wat kerja.. |
