Diploma of Engineering Technology in Marine Engineering

Program Learning Outcomes

Overview

There are about 22,000 engineering professionals and semi-professionals currently employed in marine and other related industries in Malaysia. This figure allows for a pessimistic growth of 8% to 10% inclusive of vacancies created due to workforce retirement and migration to other industries in every five years.

A total of more than 2,000 professionals and semi-professionals are to be produced to meet the demand of the marine and the related industries in Malaysia. However, the actual demand in the five-year period is expected to be much more taking into account those intending to become individual technical entrepreneurs seeking employment overseas.
