Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

BACKGROUND

The Faculty of Engineering has been providing education and training in the field of electronics since 1985. In 1996, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is established and currently offering both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

PROGRAM

Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a 4-year program that has been developed in response to the nation’s necessity for electrical and electronic engineers. The Department focuses in producing electrical and electronic engineers equipped with a strong engineering foundations and specialized either in Microelectronic, Power or Control Engineering.

The program is fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC), Malaysia. As part of the accreditation exercise, the program goes through a periodical review every 5 years by EAC to ensure the continual suitability and relevance to the need of the nation and industry. Renowned professors from overseas are appointed as external examiners and assessors to ensure that the program meets international standards. Academic links are maintained with other local and international academic institutions with the aim of sharing information and experience related to teaching, research and other related activities. Close links are also maintained with industries through industrial training and by collaborative research. This cooperation ensures that teaching staff and students are well aware of current developments in the industry. Outcome Based Education (OBE) has also been adopted as the main approach of teaching and learning at the Department.
