Comparison between NUS EE & NTU EEE

EEE student here. I must say ntu EEE is the best

pls elaborate!

also, which poly r u from? im interested to know whts the main diff betwn eee in uni vs eee in poly.

For me, i think NUS EE and NTU EEE cert will be the same in Singapore. But if you

are not going to work in Singapore in the future, NUS cert is definitely better. More

recognized in the world ! =))

alot different... EEE in uni is difficult... qs very tricky and they have ways to make sure u cant score an A... even u study hard for that particular module

then how is it compare to nus? sounds like both also difficult leh

then how is it compare to nus? sounds like both also difficult leh

thats why got bell curve when they grade students mah

howdy,

I believe i can provide some hints and answers to some questions here including this. am from a jc background though.

there are many modules we are learning in uni and from what my poly friends have told me, they are a lot more in depth compared to those in poly. poly students have learned bjt and transistors, yes? you will be learning on the functionalities of cascoded bjts, and the so awesome cmos and BiCmos of course that's just the appetizer =)

nus EE and ntu EEE are learning more or less the same stuff but ntu EEE has specialization offers such as ic design which is not available in nus ee. if it's just the cert, you can choose either one to your liking. both have their fair shares of foreign talents on a side note.

industry wise, you're looking more at how much can you apply after you graduate. seriously, IMO, what we're learning in uni are really just the fundamentals ; scratching the surface of those topics. many things are not being taught in both unis like useful programming. handling eda tools with tcl? automation using python/perl/C++/java? query database using mySQL? engineers rely heavily on computers and you'll only get the hands on during masters or phd if you're furthering your studies, elsewise, work place when you start working. they may seem daunting but fret not, everyone gets to start somewhere.

ntu eee if you want more hands on challenges and broader base learning. they are useful for academic progression towards phd/masters too. you will also get to learn the concepts for other fields in EEE. electrical/electronics or information communications

nus ee wise.. hopefully someone from there can shed some light

cheers

howdy.

in uni, you need to study smart. know which stuff should memorize and which stuff you HAVE TO understand the concepts. study smart and pray hard that the As will come

cheers

i don't say memorise but understand the concepts behind it... there are some modules that can smoke like technical communication, or data structures. NTU EEE is rocks, one degree many opportunities

 

[Inn0vator]

hmm... how about the environment in these universities? are there alot of backstabbing? do we have to mug alot? cos the poly environment was rather slack. so the standard between the two univesities are more or less the same?

different, i was like u during freshie time thinking shld be easy so nv really study much before coming in... but once u enter u will know uni and poly diff..

Howdy,

true to a certain extent, i couldn't agree more to some points.
However, some modules eg. EE2005, EE3001 et cetera, requires you to memorize some formulae as they will not be provided during exams. These formulae are deemed as the fundamental ones so it's a given that you should 'memorize' them. That being said, with more practices, those formulae will be registered into the brain

Howdy,

Studying environment is good regardless which university you're in. You just ought to have the discipline to REALLY attend lectures and do your tutorials consistently and always challenge the professors with questions you don't understand.

Please elaborate more on your question of backstabbing? In NTU as far as i know, those who really know the concepts very well will ultimately become successful engineers/analysts/bankers. Results don't really reflect everything but if you really understand the concepts, i don't see a point why can't one achieves a second upper at least? Yes, time and effort have to be sacrificed to get good results. You can expect spending up to hours trying to solve just one single question. C'mon, it's engineering. One method you did may not be the best so you will sometimes try with another method/formula et cetera.

Don't really know how the polytechnics' systems work but be prepared for a cultural shock if you aren't ready. Moving forward, you can expect a really enjoyable experience to take up NTU EEE or NUS EE. like what the other guy mentioned. One degree, many opportunities.

Cheers

NUS EE vs NTU EEE

Hi guys I know this thread is quite old already. but I have a few questions which I need your help

I got offers from NTU and NUS for EEE and EE. I am in a dilemma of which to accept.

I heard NUS has implemented a new degree classification:

Honours (Highest Distinction) 4.5 and above
Honours (Distinction) 4.0 to 4.49
Honours (Merit) 3.5 to 3.99
Honours 3.0 to 3.49
Pass 2.0 to 2.99
Fail Below 2.0

1. Does this new degree classification give NUS graduates advantage (for those 2nd lower and 3rd class hons) ?

2. What is the difference in the teaching style of NTU & NUS?

3. Which school easier to score or easier to pass?

4. NUS Electrical Engg degree can easily find job in Electronics industry? (cus of the degree name)

Would greatly appreciate if anyone can help

1. The new classification just sounds nicer. 'Distinction' sounds nicer that 'second-upper'. but in reality, there's no difference.

2. I believe teaching styles for engineering is pretty much the same. Lectures and tutorials.

3. This would be difficult to answer. NUS probably has better local top-scoring JC students. But NTU has more imba foreign scholars in engineering. Both of which will skew the bell-curve. Nevertheless, I think NUS is easier to score. They dont play by the bell-curve sometimes and give the excuse that their students are all berry good, that's why cant apply bell-curve. NTU got no such bull. Bell-curve means bell-curve.

4. Nah, I think employers are pretty familiar with NUS EE's curriculum that it also includes electronics.

thanks for the advice!

After hearing what u said, I think I will most likely go for NUS.

Hi, can I clarify on point 3? Can you elaborate why NUS is easier to score? I always thought people in NTU generally get in with lower RP/GPA so it was less competitive.
