20-30 years ago, tertiary students tend to choose engineering as their main course of study. it was prestigious to be "Engineer". 20 years later, it seems students prefer banking, finance, sociology and arts subjects. as a result, this might lead to singapore importing more foreign talents because there might not be enough qualified engineers or technical experts in singapore due to student's preference for arts subject these days. practically speaking, I could earn $5000 as a finance grad, work from 8-5 in a cosy office, staring at charts; while engineering grad may have to sit in office for 14-16 hours a day and earn less than a finance grad, not forgetting the stress an engineer goes through. what do you think?

Hi all, Model: Lancer 2006 This problem happens after my car break down due to battery flat. I shall elaborate, sorry for spending your time to access my story. _____________________________________________________________________ My car was about to send for 20k, but before servicing, my wife and i went to KL for 4 days 3 night after our ROM. After returning to SG, when i was about to un-arm my car, no effect, so i manual unlock my car. I could not start my car, in the end, my car was tow to C&C, not knowing there is a charge for towing, i negotiate with C&C, for them not informing me, so ended up towing FOC. They done standy serivicing + change a new battery for me. They also tighten the belt so that during cold start, will not hear 'yi..yi... sound' After a week of driving, problem starts to surface. Problem: When i starts engine, once i accelerate, i can hear left bonnet producing sound (like sands sound, as if my car is sucking sands) If i accelerate below 1.2 RPM, no sound, once i push a bit more, the sound can be hear. During the beginning, is considering loud, cause i can hear it inside the cabin, after a long drive, the sandy sound gets softer, but the sandy sound still remains. Experts... 1. Do you have any idea what is the causes? 2. I will call up C&C later but i believe they will ask me to drive down to check, which will incur consultant charge (most likely) or additional servicing charge 3. This problem is after my 20k servicing, i wandering if i bring up after the servicing, will they retify FOC, which i will call up later to clarify 4. Knowing Lancer engine is problematic, if early detection, i can immediately change a new car, at least my lost is on car rather changing the entire engine gear box. Hope to get some infos from you guys. Thanks. Keith

Dear all I've installed a set of air horns on my vehicle. After a few horn sounding, there was no more sound. I think I might have blown the fuse. Question: My stock horns require an amperage of 10A, (see attachment) in the fuse box is a 10A fuse for the stock horns(a pair). I looked at the box for the air horn and it requires a 20A fuse. When I installed the air horn, I left one side of the stock horn back on, connected. When I did the connection, I spliced one of the pair, and just connected the positive and negative sides to the air horn, with out the relay which is included in the air horn box. Cos in my circuit diagram, you can see an existing relay. Should I use back a 10A fuse, change to a 20A fuse and take out the stock horn, or use a 20A fuse and keep both the stock horn and air horns on? In the Western part of Singapore, where is a good choice to get fuses on a Saturday? Or do I have to go down to Sim Lim Tower? Your help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Lester
