Feeling during PSDC Open day

13 June 2009 (Saturday), number of visitors keeps asking me the future career of the course of Mechatronic offered in Penang Skills Development Sentre (PSDC). When I told them that the graduates from Mechatronic were employed as Engineer, Assistance Engineer and Technician. They feel happy and surprise. In Penang, only PSDC offer this diploma course and we only recruit number of student less than 150 pax. The students graduate from the course of Mechatronic able to get better offer from factories due to demand more than supply.

This is a good course and the students will able to further their degree [B. Eng. (Hons) Mechanical Engineering] in PSDC too. They just need to pay the tuition fees of ~RM55000 for the 3yrs Diploma and 2yrs Degree.

The lecturers conducting the course are experience and professional person. They used to conduct training courses to industries. The students are gaining advantage from them as they will learn the technologies applied in industries.

How do you think? Is it good? For me, I strongly believe that the students will gain benefit from PSDC.

However, many of them don’t know about the courses offer in PSDC. We are famous to manufacturing industries due to training courses. We are not famous to the SPM leavers as we don’t have the name such as PSDC College / PSDC University College / PSDC University. I will keep it as vision. In fact, If we upgraded to University or University College, the factories will gain more benefit as the trend in industry are going to research and development (R&D). The operators, technicians, engineers and managers will feel proud to train by us too. We will able to bit other training centre too.
