its government backed. yup recognised

 

[TKR1992]

Yes it is recognized.

However, it was started only in 2009, and the first batch of graduating cohort was in 2013.

It's only been 2 years since then, so we don't have a lot of information about their graduates.

Yup it definitely is in Singapore. Since it is an AU gazetted by the govt.

Depending if you are taking own or joint degrees. If is joint degrees, it will also be recognized by the overseas university joint with.

Yup, the school is too new to have a concrete data. But every uni has to go thru that stage also right?

SMU also been through that phase. If everyone is scare to take the leap of faith, SMU,NTU and NUS wont be where they are today liao.

Also, their self-conferred degrees only started in 2014. With that being said, the companies associated with their Accountancy IWSP through an MOU is very respectable despite not even having a graduated batch.

that being said, SIT ACC is very hard to get in.

but most of the uni their degree takes at least 3 years to complete , why some of the SiT degree only take 2 years like eg. Aerospace

I believe those degrees have no holidays. Typical universities like NUS and NTU have 2 semester 26 weeks altogether. Leaving like 4-5 months of holidays. But some of these programs in SIT have 3 semesters a year instead of 2. So they finish much faster.

Not recognized by Professional Engineers Board (PEB) to be PE.

[golfman263]

wanna join major aerospace companies like ST Aerospace or SIAEC ,don't whether or not they recongnize SIT degree

 

[Kyoji83]

No, it is not recognize by BCA to be a M&E Engineer.

Aerospace , not m&e

 

[Kyoji83]

But why quote BCA in the first place when they are not related to Aerospace industry?

Anyway, Aerospace industry do take in distance learning degree so SIT degree will be recognize too.

In Aerospace industry, they first prefer Mechanical follow by Electrical but never really into Aerospace Engineering.

Regardless if you are a degree or diploma holder, you have to start asan Engineer Trainee with low pay to earn your CAAS aircraft maintenance license.

Aerospace , not m&e
