I’m considering studying Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (ECSE) at Monash University Malaysia, and I’d like to hear from current students or graduates.
My goal is to keep my options open for both hardware and software careers. I’m interested in electronics, circuits, embedded systems and programming, and I don’t want to graduate with strong skills in one area but very limited options in the other.
Does the ECSE curriculum provide a good balance between hardware and software?
How much actual programming do you do, and how deep does it go?
What are the job opportunities for graduates in software development compared with hardware, embedded systems and electronics?
If I want to pursue either path after graduation, would I need to do significant extra learning or personal projects outside the degree?
Would you recommend Monash Malaysia ECSE for someone with these goals, or would Computer Science or Software Engineering be a better choice?
I’d appreciate honest feedback from people with experience in the program.
