Rapid development of today’s marine industry has started since a few decades ago. The huge scope of this industry includes various types of vessels, offshore platform design, construction, operation and maintenance until the production of spare parts and shipping equipment. There are more than 22,000 professional and semi-professional bodies work in our local marine industry and other related bodies. It is expected that there will be an increment in the human resource’s needs in between 8% to 10% every year.
By looking at the statistics and the needs of human resources in the industry, UniKL MIMET aspires to offer courses that based on Marine Engineering Technology to produce more semi-professional bodies that are able to contribute to the development and achievement of the industry and to the country generally.
This programme is expected to be offered to at least the STPM holder with the opportunities to be trained to become professional in the marine industry, to establish their own self and the industry, hence to the economic growth as a whole.
Apart from engineering technology subjects, the programme also offers skills in technopreneur, design innovation and project. This is to ensure that they are good technical workers with high skills, creative, innovative and be able to manage, operate and maintain any systems related to marine industries.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

UniKL graduates who are:

• PEO 1
  Knowledgeable, competent, and innovative, which will contribute towards the human capital in the marine related industry;
• PEO 2

• PEO 5
  Capable of embarking on business and technopreneurial activities.

Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

Majors in engineering technology will be able to:

• PLO1:
  Apply knowledge of mathematics, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization in marine engineering to wide practical procedures and practices.
• PLO 2:
  Identify and solve broadly-defined marine engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using codified methods of analysis specific to
  their field of activity.
• PLO 3:
  Design solutions for broadly-defined marine engineering problems and assist with the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• PLO 4:
  Conduct investigations of broadly-defined marine engineering problems; locate and search relevant codes and catalogues, conduct standard tests and measurements.
• PLO 5:
  Apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering tools to broadly- defined marine engineering activities, with an awareness of the limitations.
• PLO 6:
  Demonstrate understanding of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to engineering technology practice and solutions to broadly-defined marine engineering problems;
• PLO 7:
  Understand the impact of engineering technology solutions of broadly-defined marine engineering problems in societal and environmental context and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development;
• PLO 8:
  Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering technology practices.
• PLO 9:
  Function effectively as an individual, and as a member in diverse technical teams.
• PLO 10:
  Communicate effectively on broadly-defined marine engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
• PLO 11:
  Demonstrate an awareness and understanding of management, business practices, and technopreneurial competencies.
• PLO 12:
  Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in specialist technologies.
