NTU - Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Part Time)

[g3n3tic_twig]

Hello!!!

Just thought i'd start a thread on this course because there isn't one. Hope you guys can contribute to it.

I've gotten an offer from NTU but am thinking if I should invest 5 year into this.

Thank you so much!

It will be good for your future if you are below 30 years old.

NTU BEng (EEE) Full time is 4 years while part time is 5 years course.

Regardless of full or part time, they both awarded the same cert with same name.

It is recognized by PEB Sg for Prof Exam to become a Prof Engineer.

Yeah I'm 26 this year and if everything is 'swee swee', i'll be 31 when i finish it.

Poly students with relevant Diploma can complete in 3 (or < 3) years.

3 years so short meh? But I think not many ppl taking part time here...mostly full time one...

Yes, you can complete in 3 or less than 3 year (if you are garang) loh. for Diploma Holders. I know because I withdrew from FullTime EEE back in '08.

[Kyoji83]

Haha, not bad.

Maybe he become a PE (EE), he can become a Engineering Manager or Project Manager.

By the time TS become Electrical PE he already mid 30s liao

Hi,
I took this course few years back and managed to graduate. With this degree, it definitely opens alot of opportunites for me. Back then, this is the only affordable way for me to get a well recognised engineering degree and I had no regrets taking it.
But the course is really tough and takes alot of effort and time and if you are taking part time, I doubt you can clear all modules in 3 years. For my intake, more than half of the people dropped out within the first 2 years and the rest who endured to 3rd year will most probably managed to graduate.
In the end, the decision will lies with you as you need to be really determine to finish this course.

Hi eppy0807,

Thanks!

Yeah I've accepted the course but can still withdraw before matriculation i guess.

PartTime is 5 years, not 3 years haha...

Yes, i did it part time in 5 years around the same age you are going to start. The fastest I seen people complete it in 4 years (which means taking additional modules every semester) but this is very rare as it is very difficult to juggle all the commitments you had and need to go to classes almost every night of the week (not to mention coping with all the assignments, tests and exams).
Even after matriculation, you can still dropped out anytime. But if you do not want to pay anything, you can still withdraw in the first few weeks after class started but you need to do it before they billed you the school fees. Going for the first few classes will give you a chance to see if you can really cope and let you conclude if you should carry on for the next few years.

If u are doing it in 5 years and not taking additional modules, then how is the lesson frequency? Every week 3 lessons or more?

I think every week 4-5 days of lesson. I got the soft copy timetable but can't find it haha.

Following the standard period of 5 years, most of the semesters will have 3 modules (which equates to 3 nights of classes per week). There are a couple of semesters which has 4 modules but one of the module is lab work and there is no exam.

Industrial Management? Didn't know NTU offers this course.

Anyway, I just seen the timetable for EEE (PartTime); it's 4-5 days every week.

Now torn between Kaplan and this. Didn't consider PSB because its timetable is hectic too.

I think there is a B.Tech in Industrial Management in NUS.

As to choose between NTU and Kaplan, I had already choosen NTU as it is much recognised in S'pore and the better quality and structure of the curriculum.
For me, I don't mind putting in efforts but in the end, I do not want to give any chance for people questioned the validity of my degree (esp if it is an engineering degree). Therefore, I also appreciate that the part-time course at NTU offers the exact degree as the full-timers. This arrangement also gives the chance to switch to full-time (after doing 2 years part time) which some of my classmates did.
The drawbacks of NTU course, is that it is much tougher (I have many classmates dropping out), modules are difficult, longer duration and you are competing with the full-timers (you will have same modules, same lecturers, and even sit the same exams, etc.).
