The ideological and political construction of curriculum is a new requirement for the ideological and political work in colleges and universities in the current reform plan of higher education in China. The ideological and political teaching reform of professional courses is an important way to cultivate students' national feelings. This paper discusses the necessity of the ideological and political construction of the course through the teaching exploration of integrating the ideological and political key points into the course of control theory. Based on the basic knowledge of the course Mechanical Control Theory, this paper deals with the ideological and political points as the "interference" factors of the traditional closed-loop teaching mode, and proposes the feed-forward and feedback teaching mode. This teaching mode makes the ideological and political courses with disciplinary characteristics and provides new ideas for solving the practical problems of ideological and political courses; At the same time, the ideological and political elements contained in the knowledge points of mechanical control theory are deeply excavated to explore a feasible ideological and political teaching path of the course "Construction of Control Theory for Mechanical Engineering" based on the principle of feedforward and feedback control.

Community College Malaysia is one of the Technical Education and Vocational Training Institutions in the country that plays an important role in steering the country's aspirations to become a developed nation by 2020. It focuses mainly on the supply of human capital among the youth future worker fit with skills, competencies and efficient industry requirements. However, the income earned varies widely based on the industry's ability to provide employment. The income factors led to an increase or decrease in the number of graduates' employability. There are more than ten categories of programs offered by community colleges and the numbers of employability relating to the demand from industries providing job opportunities to skilled workers. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a descriptive analysis of the earnings and employment of Community Colleges graduates based on occupational field and gender. The data were obtained by the survey of Community Colleges graduates in 2018. The study population consisted of 7725 graduates and 367 respondents were involved as samples who answered their respective job status in graduate's employability survey provided by the ministry. The result shows that most respondents received a salary between RM1501-RM2000, while the rest of the graduates earned between RM1001-RM1500 and RM1001-RM1500. In the gender factor of employment, female graduates exceed compared to male graduates on the income scale of RM1000 and below. However, at higher income levels of RM1501-2000 and above, male graduates earn more than their counterparts, the female graduates. The findings of this study are expected to be a future guide and encouragement, especially for community colleges to study skill programs that are in line with industry requirements and produce a competent and dynamic human capital to enhance the country's economy.
