The engineering education at tertiary level began in Malaya in 1956 at University of Malaya. Nowadays, the engineering education has evolved and spurring myriad of engineering courses offered by Public University and privates institution. During 1990's when the economy was booming, Malaysia facing a shortage of engineers. The demand for more engineers has lead to actions by several public university to shorten the duration of study from 4 years to 3 years albeit approval problems from the Board of Engineer of Malaysia (BEM). The duration was fully revised back to 4 years in year 2000. The country trying to create two streams of engineers: the conventional research or scientific-oriented engineer who is sound in design theory and analysis and the practice-oriented counterpart. The BEM has been a signatory of the Washington Accord since 2009 which resulted to the recognisation by member countries include Australia, Canada, Taipei, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,

The advent of new technology breakthrough leads to the creation of new level software: Natural Language Programming (NLP). According to Stephen Wolfram, creator of Wolfram Alpha and CEO of Wolfram Research, the essence of NLP is to facilitate the conversation between the human and computer from a daunting computer language to a mere human languages. For instance, you wish to capture a picture with a focus on the face or you want to regroup all your pics under one particular folder. All this can be achieved with the advancement of NLP. The starters will be the Apple's voice-controlled Siri. The missing link for the above mentioned NLP is in terms of where the data sits. The typical process when you wrote a program, it would connect to database that has the data you are trying to manipulate. However, it can be improved by wrote a programming that already has the data embedded in it. Nowadays, programmers can write a piece of programming in five minutes compared to a mon
