have interest in circuit boards and computers

Kingboonz SG

I'm interested in the architecture of circuit boards.. Like designing microchips, gpu, cpus, mobos and I would love to do these for a living. I like computer programming too, mainly hard coding. Repairing computers, making custom built computers, speccing up your computers, I enjoy doing these.

Which course should I take in uni?

Grades : GP-D Bio-B Chem-B Maths-B Geog-B PW-D

No physics background.

Can anyone tell me more about these courses and their requirements? Would be grateful :)

Hi,

Check these websites:

They would provide you with the info you need to decide :)

NTU computer engin

or

NTU elect engin

or

NUS elect & comp engin

or

SIT elect engin and IT

if no phy u have to take the foundation or bridging modules

is D a failing grade?

No, its a failed grade.

Do i stand a chance of entering this course? Coz I'll retake A levels if i need a better grade

D is not a failed grade.

Under the H1 and H2 grading system, pass grades are A, B, C, D and E and failed grades are S (40 - 44%) and U (0 - 39%).

I assume you are going to army, and hence have the time to re-take A levels.

You can try applying for it, but I can assure you that without A level physics background, you will be killed in a few of the modules before you complete year 2 for this bachelor. I'm a EE grad myself from NUS.

The modules you could potentially die from:
PC1431: Physics 1
PC1432: Physics 2
EG1108: Electrical Engineering
EE2011: {I forgot the name}
EE2005: {I forgot the name}
