Software Engineering

Written by: Syazril Izwan bin Ahmad


Hey people. On this little post I'll be talking about the course that I've taken in Uniten, and that is Software Engineering.


At first, I never knew what I've wanted to do in life. At first, I thought i wanted to be an mechanical engineer. But has the years passed, I've slowly lost interest. Thus, I was thrust once again into confusion. What do I want to do?


Then it hit me. It probably had to do with computers. Now it may sound silly, but I gained interest in the field because of gaming. As I learned about the inner workings of game developers (via Youtube, thanks to few well known Youtubers) my curiosity expanded to other types of software. Therefore here I am. In Software Engineering.

 Now if it's one thing I want to get straight with, is that anyone who is in taking any computing course(software engineering especially) will tell you that it is NOT easy. It's not just programming you have to take, but a lot of other subjects like Fundamentals of Software Engineering, System Analysis and Design and a whole lot more. Mind you, it ain't easy scoring these subjects!


However, luckily we do have lecturers who help make learning these subjects much less a bore. Just as long you not too shy about asking for help, then it should be no problem at all. Throughout my experience in Uniten, I'd say I have a fairly decent life, although this IS only my first year.
More challenges await ahead, my friends!

This is Syazril, signing off.

Futuristic Era, Futuristic Student

In this modern era of life, every thing that humans wanted to have must be in a great invention and style. In need of this, people who are in charge of inventing and making it possible must be really great in designing the future. Or should I say Graphics and Multimedia students.

UNITEN offers Bachelor of Graphics and Multimedia course to the students. But before getting to Bachelor of Graphics and Multimedia, students need to undergo a year of Foundation in Information of Technology or Foundation of Computer Science program.

It is more recommended to take Foundation of Information Technology if you wanted to get to Bachelor of Graphics and Multimedia, where Information Technology are more major in Graphics and Multimedia.

The cost of being a Bachelor of Graphics and Multimedia are not that high compared to other courses. The job prospect, it is highly wanted by most companies. As in modern era, every products require good and eye catching materials and colours in it. As a graphic and multimedia, this is their field of work.

As in this modern and futuristic era, a futuristic students are needed to build a better world. So, UNITEN offers a program that will make you the one who could change the world !

Come to UNITEN and take this challenge!

BCompSc

Currently, I am doing my degree in Computer Science in UNITEN.

Why did I choose this course?

Okay, the main reason is because I would like to pursue my career as a game programmer. Therefore, I think taking this course would be perfect for me.

The study duration for this course is not that long. It is only 1+3 years. Which is 1 year for foundation and 3 years for degree. So yeah, I hope I can finish my study in the given duration. That means I can finish my study early and start working to earn some money! :D

The most important thing is all the courses offered in UNITEN meet all the requirements of the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA).

That's why I choose UNITEN as my university to further my study and hopefully I can pursue my dream job.

Bye!

Bachelor In Information Technology

Information Technology or also known as Information System is one of the programs offered in UNITEN. The duration for this program is 1+3 years, one year foundation and three years for the degree. That is you choose to take the foundation programme in UNITEN. If you chose not to take foundation programme, you can still take the three years undergraduate degree course with at least nine semester or tri-semester because in one year there are three semesters. There are alot of career prospects one can have such as Web Master, Web Designer, Administrator, Project Manager, Lecturer, Network Administrator and the list goes on and on. To me, eventhough im taking a degree in Software Engineering, I still think that taking degree in Information System would still make me reach my goal in life(ambition) but I like challenges so that's why I chose to take Software Engineering. Goodbye ! =)
