cbe korang bace nih..utem da tak buat more hands on cam dulu..
utem will not using"Practice and
Application Oriented-PAO" teaching and learning method
anymore.60%coursework-40% final exam mode will be change to
40%coursework-60% final exam.meaning that the learning will be more
focusing on theory(however, still need to do same amount of report but
lower percentage of marks will be awarded). the exam and test will
contributes approx. 70-80%marks for each subject(test:10-20% ; final
exam:60%)------this major changes makes the learning in utem pretty much
same like other conventional universities such as utm,um, and usm
style.
reason: to secure the accreditation from EAC/BEM/IEM under
Washington Accord

2.compulsory
additional 2 months for industrial displacement (latihan industri)
6months
of industrial displacement will be held on 6th semester and additional 2
months will be held during holidays.
this changes only applicable
for 1st year student and the coming intakes.for 2nd,3rd and 4th year
students, still sticks to the old policy.
Quoted from reliable source from FKM. However I think point 2 is mistaken, I hear Prof Marizan said that MAYBE they will convert the 6 month LI into just 10-12week LI (done during holiday), the rest of the time will be spent on COURSEWORK/CLASSES like every other university in Malaysia. So what this mean for the so called 'uniqueness' of UTeM they keep promoting to me when I first come in? In the end still have to revert back to a PROPER SYSTEM in order to get ACCREDITATION
