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 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.
Program Educational Objectives
The objectives of the Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering program are to produce engineers who:
Are knowledgeable and competent in the field of electrical and electronic engineering with skills that meet the needs of industry and market.
Are creative and innovative, as well as a caring and responsible towards society, culture and dynamic environment.
Are able to adapt to the global work environment, continuing lifelong learning, research and development in the field of electrical and electronic engineering.
