does EEE have alot of physics? actually im nt gd in physics at all...wad ab career path for CE? issit gd?

if u direct into yr2, den u learn more of electrics (read from yr2 onwards)

otherwise if u going to yr1, yes, u r gonna hate FE1001 like mad

CPE110/CSC110 C Language Proficiency - AZE

Prerequisite: CPE102/CSC102 Introduction to Programming


This module is meant to introducethe fundamentals of C programming, the structured and function oriented paradigm of C and its ability to access lower levels of the computer hardware.
It also serves to compare and contrast the difference and similarities of an object oriented programming like Java, with C. It shall also help to familiarise with the use of C in preparation for future modules like the CPE202/CSC201, CPE205/CSC205, CPE206, CPE279.

The course is a self study module, which consist of 2 online tests for grading purposes. The tests can be done at one's own suitable time, where the first could be attempted as many times as possible, while the second could only be attempted once.

The difficulty for this module is low, with the only obstacle being the personal discipline required to do the self study.

CPE183/CSC183 Engineers and Society - AZE

Prerequisite: -


This module is mainly segemented into two portions.

The first portion is to examine and discuss the issues and roles of a Computer Engineer/Scientist in the society, the moral and ethical issues involved in the practice of the profession, the governing bodies and the memberships of the engineering societies.

The second portion is to examine the current affairs and a study of Singapore's society and future visions. Various current issues would be brought up and a view of how Computer Engineers/Scientists fit into the society, how they could contribute to the visions and progress of Singapore, and the ways to overcome the future challenges of the industry would be discussed.

This course consist of a written paper and a presentation of current affairs that directly involves the field of Computer Engineering/Science.

The difficulty of this module is average. Those who are good in presentation may find in easier to score in the coursework portion. Those that are good in memorising facts and data, eloquent in writing, intouch with current affairs, and have a flair in debating would find it easy in answering open ended questions set in the exam paper.

Wah, you going intelligence systems?

ya. I plan to take DSP, robotics and computer vision on sem 2.

Also, I am normal student with my fair share of Cs

 

[solidifry]

personally, it is easier to die in CE than EEE, but then again, hard to say.

What I can tell u:
EEE has 30-40% foreigners, and not as zai as CE ones
CE has slightly more than 50% foreigners, and most of them r damn zai

EEE is quite spread out, more of electrics during year2, and during year1 (as of now), you'll need to take useless modules such as Life Sciences. but if you are a 2nd yr direct intake, thank god, u dun nid to do all the useless yr1 stuffs
CE, from the start, you really study everything that is related to computers and engineering

EEE labs are seperated from their theory counterparts, ie 1 module which is fully lab. so at any sem, u haf at most 1 lab assignment, and they'll tell u b4hand which assignment is counted
CE labs are tagged to each theory module, thus like in yr2, u may get 4 lab assignments at any 1 time. in addition, some, if not all, modules the instructor dun tell u which lab is counted as up to 50% of the whole module.

EEE is not as specialised as CE, but yes it's more versatile
CE is very specialised, but not as versatile

EEE's boy:gurl ratio currently stands at 2.78:1 (may increase)
CE's boy:gurl ratio currently stands at 4.91:1 (may increase, too)

wah thx so much of ur insider story of the both courses. I will take my time 2 consider on my choice during ns...thx for those who ans my questions

LOL. I thought you are a straight A student that is just one step below Chair list.

hmm... Would computer vision be hard since we did not take comp gfx before as a core?

 

[solidifry]

guys...strait times recently published "NTU plan for drastic revamp its curriculum in yr2009"...it gonna be "more thinking less content"...do u guys think is a gd move for all prospective students?

hard dun mean cannot be done right? Anyway it is a industry sought after module i believe

 

[siandiao]

this is not unexpected, in fact, wif the complete doing away of common engineering by that time, EEE, MAE, CEE, ENE will have more leeway in the subjects they choose.

(and yes! no more Bull**** 1004!)

It is already being done right now, at least in SCE. There is a drastic change of exam format and style since AY04. It would be hard to score for the exams by the drilling method anymore. Most questions requires critical thinking and deep understanding of the theory and applications in order to be done.

I think that the move is good but the reduce in content cannot be too drastic else the burden would be pushed to the companies to spend considerable more effort to retrain the students with the required knowledge. Then it may just necessitate a masters + yrs of experience as a minimum degree for a job at later times.

I think it would be better to shut down all the schools, revamp them into individual very specialised departments with their on core code, and to ensure that there are no overlap in any single module/course content.

Then any engineering course would be made up of an assortment of modules from the different departments. This would cut down on manpower requirement and maintainance cost of opening up modules with overlapping content. E.g. overlap of robotics with MAE, SCE, EEE.

This also enables more choices of modules for the students.

ntu ce freshies, fyi, u may wan to get 2nd hand text books tat is posted in ur email public folders... quite cheap ard less than 20 per book, considering a new ones from bookshop twice as much.

i'm not selling here, but if u're interested, can pm me.

good ruck to all sce freshies, but 1 advice u may wish to drop ur default elective econs which is quite a killer... other electives r much easier to handle. cheers

yes! also to ALL engineering students: drop HE191 (econs)! Whatever the chairs/deans say that you cannot drop HE191 during the upcoming orientation talk is crap! I know coz I dropped it!

 

[hx]

HE191 ok wad. can pass wad. y u all so anti it

 

[siandiao]

HE191 ok wad. can pass wad. y u all so anti it

pass? sure
A/A-/B+? hmmmmmmmmmm.....

actually, it's more like there r much better AHSS modules to take out there, so dun let it go to waste by taking HE191. much better to do biz minor than doing HE191

i won't say it go to waste ba, cuz the econs stuff actually quite useful also, good to know

 

[lemonchicken]

slamdung jiejie

 

[siandiao]

still, it's a waste. worse is that thanks to the Chairs, who make it sound as though it is compulsory, did not S/U this subject. lydat is waste + GPA pulldown (most cases, that is)

 

[siandiao]

plz refrain from spamming stuff here... wanna spam go NTU lip lai thread spam. cmon la, ltr juniors have a hard time when they trying to view informative stuff here mans...

GPA system got pros n cons. Luckily i am not under GPA. hehe
