Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Offshore) with Honours

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Offshore) with Honours (BOE) is an alternative programme offered to qualified students from external learning institutions and within Universiti Kuala Lumpur to continue their studies. This programme is unique to UniKL-MIMET and focuses on the design and construction of offshore structures for deep water applications (above 1200 metres), such as spar oil and gas (O&G) platforms.

The courses offered in the BOE programme cover six offshore engineering areas, namely Offshore Technology, Offshore Hydrodynamics, Offshore Design and Structures, Offshore Production, Offshore Fabrication, and Maritime Law. The curriculum is designed to develop students with applied knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals specific to offshore engineering.

In addition, students will acquire skills in problem analysis, design and development of solutions, conducting relevant investigations, and using appropriate modelling tools and systems. The programme also emphasises environmental and sustainability issues, as well as safety considerations in offshore engineering practices.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

• PEO 1:
  To produce graduates who are knowledgeable, competent, and innovative, contributing to the development of human capital in Offshore Engineering Technology.
• PEO 2:
  To produce graduates who are well trained in professional skills to support their roles in the offshore engineering field, including effective leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal communication skills.
• PEO 3:
  To produce graduates who are committed to lifelong learning and continuous improvement in the offshore engineering field.
• PEO 4:
  To produce offshore engineering graduates who practise professionalism with ethics and social responsibility.
• PEO 5:
  To produce graduates who are capable of embarking on business and technopreneurial activities in offshore engineering and related fields.
