Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Automation and Robotics) with Honours

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Robotics) with Honours is an ETAC-accredited program, officially registered under the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) in the Electronics and Automation specialization area. This full-time program typically takes four (4) years to complete and is designed to equip students with the practical and technical skills required to work in the field of robotics and automation. This program blends core engineering principles, computer science, and electronic systems with hands-on training in robotics technologies. Students are required to complete 140 credit hours, which cover a comprehensive mix of subjects including Core Engineering Technology courses, Humanities and Technopreneurship, Capstone Project, Final Year Project and Industrial Training. Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Robotics) with Honours aims to support Malaysia’s aspirations towards becoming an industrialized nation by nurturing ethical, resilient & highly competent Engineering Technologists with global enterprising technopreneurial skills.
