Ts Fatin Fatihah Zahari - Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) (Electronics), 2013
Cloud Adoption & Change Management Specialist at Microsoft Asia, Digital Transformation Curator, APAC DevChamp, Microsoft"I have been a student of the Faculty of Engineering, Multimedia University since 2008 when I started my foundation year. My first impression of the university and faculty as they were well equipped with all the facilities that I require as a student and a person who was growing into adulthood. From hostels to classes and labs, they were well accommodative to my needs as I go on the journey as an electronics engineering undergraduate student.
Looking back as a Customer Engineer at Microsoft today, I can attest to the quality of lecturers and professors that I get to learn from and work with together in building both my hard and soft skills when I was a student. The electronics engineering major was specifically unique in my opinion because I get to study computer engineering-related subjects as my minor, and they were well aligned to my core subjects. This then led me to pursue Data Science as I started my professional journey, helping me to strengthen my expertise in the Digital Transformation domain. As I make my way through my professional journey at Microsoft, I utilize all the skills I learnt and build upon it as a lifelong learner.
I may have joined the batch back in 2008 as 16 years old who were confident about skipping grades and was the youngest one in the class but lack the experience on how to navigate through my adulthood. However, my time as a student at the Faculty of Engineering empowered me with the confidence and experience I need to be ready for the future; and I have the entire faculty to thanks for – THANK YOU!

Mr. Teh Ying Fei - Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) (Electronics), 2009
M.Phil Candidate at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology"I am currently studying M.Phil in Electronics and Computing Engineering in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), one of the top Universities in Asia. Many of my peers are surprised as I graduated from Multimedia University (MMU), a private university so young without long and prestigious history. Yet, I would argue, being young is actually one of MMU biggest advantages. MMU electronics course has been designed to provide strong fundamentals and always being updated to keep up with the industry. For instance, parallel processing course has been introduced when the multi-core processor has just started became the trend in the market during my degree years. When I worked in Intel Penang Design Center and now studying in HKUST, I cannot help but appreciate the design of the course as it has given me a great starting point before working on the latest processor or the cutting edge research. I could not be the same person as I am now if I have not chosen MMU for my undergraduate study and I would never regret my decision. "
