MAPUA- nag kikickout ng 2nd/3rd yr students? totoo ba? read here..

[RamboMapua]

alam ko warnings lang notsure with the quota courses..

hehe inde sila nakikickout... "sila na mismo ang umaayaw" hehe

[pristonpiker]

sabi nung kaibigan ko kailangan mo daw magmaintain ng grade na di bababa sa tres (3.0)? tama ba? para maretain? ano po ba ang kailangan dapat na average para hindi makickout? kasi sabi nung frend ko na taga mapua kahit ilan bagsak basta average mo eh pasok sa standards okay lang.. at tanong ulit totoo po ba na 5 years ang engineering sa mapua?? salamt po pakisagot po, lalo na yung last question (tanong ulit totoo po ba na 5 years ang engineering sa mapua??)

salamat, gusto ko lang po malinawagan

^^ If I'm not mistaken, an average of 4.00 (below) would bring you in trouble.

kasi sabi nung frend ko na taga mapua kahit ilan bagsak basta average mo eh pasok sa standards okay lang

We cannot generally say this because it would really depend on whether or not you make it above the 4.00 (or whatever minimum GWA needed) baseline. For instance, a lot of passing mark versus a single 5.00 for a 5 unit course can be a dangerous setup.

With regard to program timeline, when QuarTerm was launched 8 years ago, generally all engineering programs have a 4-year (16 Quarters) program timeline. Except for ME, which can be completed in 14-15 terms (less than 3.5-3.75 years). But as far I know, recently, some programs have evolved back to the typical 5-year period (e.g. ECE). Hopefully someone currently studying in Mapua can help us with this.

oo nga bakit ganun? quarterm na nga tapos 5 years pa?? laki gastos.. sa dlsu trimestral, 4 years and 1 term yung eng course.. di yatat humaba pa lalo

Pagka naging less than 3.51 ang periodic weighted average grade mo, mabibigyan ka ng warning. Tapos ang next ata dun pag di mo parin namaintain ang grade quota na above 3.5, mabibigyan ka ng 2nd warning tapos 'probationary' tapos 'out status' tapos DLC(definitely last chance) yung last. May kaibigan ako na nakapag-appeal pa nung naging DLC status niya. Fortunately, hanggang first warning lang ako. AFAIK, pag less than 35 nalang ang remaining units mo, immortal ka na. Iilan nalang kaya ang matitirang mga studyante sa Mapua kung seseryosohin nila ang pagkick-out. More students, more profit!

Yeah in a way, maski ilang singko basta ang ave ay pasok sa standards ay okay lang. I'm on my 4th year at 30+ units na rin ang binagsak ko. Dahil na rin sa hirap at bilis ng quarterm na sinamahan pa ng mga ibang paimportanteng prof, tatagal talaga ang stay ng isang studyante sa Mapua. Pwedeng pwede kang grumaduate in 4 years depende na yan sa sipag at diskarte mo.

Fact: Ang average Mapuan ay bumabagsak.

[onihime]

Napapansin ko yung mga naout na nakapag-appeal na galing sa mga course na may board exam eh nalipat sa mga walang board exam na kurso gaya ng EMG, MAS, Psychology, saka yung mga ibang kurso sa makati na wala ring board exam. At least pwede na rin yun para yung mga talagang masipag at madiskarte lang ang pwedeng kumuha ng board exam at the same kikita pa rin sila.

Kasi depende sa Course na kukunen mo sa Mapua... iba iba kasi *** curiculum at total Units ng Course mo...mabilis talaga kung quadterm but isipin mo na lnag sa Mapua walang mga Theology etc... so talagang marameng Math, Eng. touch ng course at curriculum ng Mapua para maging flexible so aun...

I'm a civil engineering 2nd yr. student. I really wanted this course since I was a kid because my dream is to build infrastructures. But later, I realized something, I sucked with drawings. My relatives who support me with my studies live in Qatar and they told me that Civil Engineers are "untouchables" there. I'm planning to shift in Electrical Engineering.

I just want to know if drawings are really relevant with Civil Engineers because I am not with my majors yet and is Electrical Engineering is also in demand in Qatar.

You don't necessarily have to be brilliant in drawing. What you need more, as a civil engineer, is a sound engineering judgment and good mathematical skills. For us civil engineers, drawing will go to the backseat for us. I myself wasn't that good in drawing. But it didn't cause me to think otherwise of drifting away from my course (program).

Of course, as an engineer (whether you're a CE, EE, ECE, etc), you need to know how to interpret technical drawings. So if drawing is what will you make you transfer to EE or any engineering program for that matter, I don't think it will be significantly productive, unless you dream of being an electrical engineer too. So for me, if you think drawing will be the only impediment on your CE track, I'd suggest you stick to your dream.

As for finding a job, I'm sure you'd find one anywhere; not just in Qatar. Everything is possible if you have a strong base of education.

I really don't see the point as well. They're making an illogical move about this extension of program timeline.

Very well said!
"drawings" = not a hindrance for your success its all about WTFOMGBBQ base education/foundation you possess ^_^

Agree rin ako kay sir tophe but if he wants to work in Qatar because of his relatives, I will study either Geology or Petroleum Eng'g because of Qatar's rich oil industry. The graduates of these courses are very in demand in the first world countries and they are earning up to 6-digit salary per month.

[ebyong29]

i'm really good with phyics and math.. my only problem is drawing.. i wasn't really good with drawing things because i work very messy. Is there a major subj. in Ce that requires good drawings?? i'm really confused right now..

[ebyong29]

@ onihime

ano b *** mejo close sa rich oil industry ng qatar?

CHE CE ME or EE?

[onihime]

@ebyong
ChE and ME but they work in oil depots and refineries. Unlike Geologists and Petroleum Engineers that deals with exploration and monitoring of hydrocarbons beneath the surface. Mas malaki ang perang ginagastos ng oil company para sa exploration kesa sa processing kasi parang sugal din ang exploration. Pero halos sobra naman ang kikitain ng company kapag nakadiscover na ng oil reservoir.

Yup. I had my undergrad there.
Mapua Intramuros.

Anong batch mo?

[bronxdude]

2000 pero hindi ko pa tapos. kasi i had to stop for 6 years dahil inayos namin yung dual citizenshiop namin sa US.

I'll be back this July

[tophe_17]

^ That's nice to know. I'm batch 2002.

[icyman2008]

san ba ang mapua?
