BIZ students would need to choose their areas of specization in the 2 yr...Only the 1 st yr modules are General...

A long, long time ago. The best Engineering students go to CE

U mean Chemcial Engg or Civil Engg ?? Chemical Engg COP is still high though...

But long long time ago...EEE was a popular course then.. But Now...

I mean civil. Chem is a small cohort (relative to the other Engg courses), guess that's the reason why it has maintained a high COP.[/quote]Good prospects then...Tons of MRT projects were awaiting for them

I was talking to my dh ...asked if I m teaching my girls to be housewife/cook/baker. They watched youtube on cooking so attentively..we then say, arh hobby, hobby

If they are anything like me, will be like throwing darts also. Just hope that they will like what they do in the future.

My 3 DDs like to watch all kind of nonsense youtubes…I just hope they don’t grow up aspiring to be youtube stars or social media stars…


I still prefer a proper degree at their disposal regardless what career path they take next time.

If they are going to be actors or bakers, why would they need a proper degree first?
How would an Engineering degree makes them better actors or bakers? Wouldn't the School of Hard Knocks make them better actors and bakers? :?

If they aspire to be actors or bakers, just make sure that they are going to be the best in the field. If a kid wants to be a YouTube star, I would want him/her to be better than PewDiePie or Lilly Singh.

Who is PDP and LS? Never heard of…lol


Anyway I embrace social media and all the new business ideas/careers that can come out of it but whatever the kids do, there must be some training on that business acumen or higher-order analytical skills that should be derived from a university education (aka training how to be a better decision maker).

Err... you need to step into the world of people age < 25 more often :rotflmao:

When there's a Wikipedia article on you, you know you have already made it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilly_Singh

I agree! Back to MI, they run a lot of good programmes and events over the 3 yrs to help students explore entrepreneurship, identify their skills and interests etc. It's a very supportive school, and they know that the majority of their students will not get into local university, so they try to point them to other avenues to careers that suit them.
