“…The literature has identified nine factors for IPT selection. The first factor is cost, which refers to education costs, study aids and cost of living [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The second is program-specific factors such as programmes offered, accreditation body, study duration, program content and structure [11,[21][22][23]34].…”

“…Reputation is another factor considered, which includes image, reputation, and links with foreign universities [6,11,[17][18][19][20][21][22]24,26]. Next is social factors such as input from family members, peers and social media [6][7][8][9][16][17]19,21,[25][26]. Other factors include educational facilities (lecture hall, laboratory, library, etc.)…”

This study aims to measure the strength of the relationship between selection factors and recommendation that influence IPTS selection in Malaysia using Spearman Rank Correlation for Non-Parametric Statistics. There are three phases in this study namely Identification of Variables, Distribution of Questionnaire and Analysis of Results. The variables used in the questionnaire was adapted from the authors’ earlier study. Nine factors in the selection of HEIs was identified and adapted in this study. Questionnaire was selected as the research tool and electronically distributed to the students of seven IPTS throughout Terengganu with a total response of 305. Results were loaded into SPSS for statistical analysis including descriptive, exploratory, normality, reliability and correlation. Results reveal only one factor is significant factors in the selection of IPTS namely Job Prospects. That factor has strong relationship with degree of correlation is greater than 0.70.

“…This necessitates the automation of student service-related queries and responses. This study's questions and responses were delivered via email and others via email [18]. The query-and-solution technique is the transport of instructions using the trainer to ask questions and college students answering [19], [20].…”

<span lang="EN-US">Information related to student services in higher education must be produced and disseminated in various forms. Covid-19 pandemic, student services with a remote model related to this question and answer become very important. To carry out this automation process, the advanced cosine similarity method is used to check the similarity of the questions to the database and statistics to calculate the similarity value of each word. The proposed paper proceeds with three phases. The first stage to solve this problem is the data processed in question; the professional next step is word insertion. It converts alphanumeric words to vector format. Each word is a vector that represents a point in space with a certain dimension. The recommended advanced cosine similarity data still must be analyzed into a statistical approach. We will measure accuracy to get results so that optimal results and answers are obtained, research procedures are carried out based on literature study, initial data collection and observation, system development, system testing, system analysis, and system evaluation. This research implemented in universities with student chat automation applications providing an accuracy 83.90% given by natural language question answering system (NLQAS) so that it can improve excellent service in universities.</span>

“…This decision is based on several factors. These factors include personal factors (such as personal skills), economic factors (such as admission fees and fu-ture income), and social factors (such as family preference) [2]. This means that universities have essential role to make students' selection consistent with the market requirements and the national development strategies.…”

Abstract-at many universities, students who get enrolled at the faculty of engineering are required to study a preparatory year before they begin their specialized academic programs. This year includes several general engineering and basic science modules. It is claimed that this year gives students the required time and knowledge to decide on which engineering department they would select. This study aims to investigate this issue from students' and academics' points of view. Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) has been taken as a case study. The study carried out a survey that includes a questionnaire directed to the students and an interview directed to the academic staff. Results showed that the majority of students do not think they need an entire academic year to get a sufficient perception for the different engineering specialities. They think it would be better if they get specialized directly upon their entry to the university. This is also the recommendation of the academic staff. Despite the benefits claimed for the preparatory year, greater ones could be achieved if students are given the chance to get specialized earlier. This includes giving engineering departments more flexibility in the selection of the first year modules.Keywords-Engineering education, academic programs, curriculum, preparatory year. IntroductionEngineering is a profession that involves creative application of knowledge to deal with real-life problems. It has several branches, and requires special skills and carefully designed academic programs. These programs should provide students with the advanced, effective, and technology-based education that meets the market needs. Engineering curricula should be designed to assure provision of the technical understanding and problem-solving skills including problem analysis, investigation, design, communication, and management skills [1]. Duration of the bachelor degree of engineering varies between countries. For example, three-year duration is common in Europe, while five-year duration is common in the Arab countries.Students who get enrolled at faculties of engineering have to select their engineering speciality. This decision is based on several factors. These factors include personal factors (such as personal skills), economic factors (such as admission fees and fu-58
