What would you expect of the university life?

hi All
Feeling quite lost of what you could achieve throughout the university life? and where to go after this?

Ya, when I was young I was more and less like that too.
This blog is created to assist students to find the, well.... if not the 'answer' but the 'direction' of this question, at the earlier stage.

In general the aim of this blog is to assist students to plan for their future career based on their various strengths, potentials and interests.

The specific aims of this blog are to:
i) Provide a platform for live interaction with the students and the graduates
ii) Assist students in understanding the various career fields where Chemical/Bioprocess Engineer could serve, both at industrial and academic fields after graduation
iii) Post the activities, both local and international, where undergraduates can participate for self development
iv) Post info on Scholarship/Program offers elsewhere

"Plan for the future, and get more motivated for the undergraduate study!"

**From the track record, oversea scholars graduated from UTM usually possess a first class degree or a good second upper.
