For NTU, I saw there are aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering which is under the fourth year of mecha engineering. What's the difference in this two tittle which sounds similar.
By the way, i'm actually a Malaysian but my grandparents are singaporean.
I know that MINDEF is singapore army(My mum told me) but how about MNCS ( what's that?)
My STPM results is similar to A level standard. I obtained 2A- for my physic and general paper and 2B+ for my chemistry and mathematics. (A,A-,B+,B,B-,C+,C... A will be the best grade.) Hope you dont mind wasting your time on a foreigner |
You're welcome. In fact, I'm not local either hahahahaz... I'm from ASEAN region as well.
Hmm... you should spend more time doing some research. MNCs = Multi-National Companies. examples of MNCs are Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Microsoft, Exxon Mobil, etc. while local MNCs include Singapore Airlines (
SIA), Creative Technology, etc.
I think you have misunderstood the
NTU website. There are in fact 2 different degree programmes being offered, Aerospace Engin programme, and Mechanical Engin programme (
NTU School of MAE)
For students enrolled into Mechanical Engineering stream, there're 8 specialisations to choose from. "Aeronautical" specialisation is named in that way so that people won't get confused with Aerospace stream of students, which are enrolled in totally different curricular system. Also, direct entry to Aerospace engin programme will prepare you for that area right from first year. However, choosing aeronautical specialisation for your mechanical engin programme will allow you to learn more about aerospace/aeronautical (these 2 words are synonyms of each other. they're the same!)
Looking at your grades, I would suggest you should try choosing Aerospace Engineering as your first choice, and Mechanical Engineering as a second choice (again, THEY ARE 2 DIFFERENT DEGREE PREGRAMMES OFFERED BY MAE SCHOOL). Note that ALL students in Aerospace Engineering in
NTU had straight As in their A levels. However, it's still worth a try, as A A B B will surely put you into Mechanical Engineering programme. Thus, you can opt for mech. eng. as your 2nd choice and later on in your 3rd year, you can decide what specialisation you would like to choose for your final year of study.
The 8 specialisations have their purposes. This will open up more career path as well. Also, since students entering direct Aerospace Engin are top A level scorers, you may find it hard to stay on the right side of the distribution curve, which is how you'll be graded in universities (normal distribution). Thus, plan carefully.
