About this course
Mechanical engineers play key roles in all industrial sectors ranging from the aerospace, oil and gas, food and transport to manufacturing, chemical and entertainment industries. Mechanical Engineering offers an exciting environment where many skills are brought together to create innovative products and the infrastructure and technology for manufacture.
This Bachelor’s degree aims to produce graduate engineers who are able to meet society’s needs by the creation of products or processes that benefit the individual or economy. Many of the courses contextualise mechanical engineering science principles with mini-projects and students will work in groups to produce a solution to an engineering problem.
This programme is accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). Our degrees are offered as three-year BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) or four-year MEng (Master of Engineering) qualifications. Both the BEng and MEng are internationally recognised by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Our MEng qualification is designed to satisfy the academic requirements set by the Engineering Council UK for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
Chartered Engineers enjoy excellent prospects, enhanced employability and high salaries. If you prefer to graduate with a BEng after three years of study, your degree will provide partial fulfilment of the necessary academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status.
Our MEng programme is accredited and recognised by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
Our MEng programme is accredited and recognised by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and fully accredited by the Malaysian Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC). For registration by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), the four-year undergraduate MEng programme plus a summer industrial placement are required.
