Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

Overview

The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate program that equips students with a robust foundation in mechanical engineering principles, including mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical application, the curriculum integrates modern tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA) and robotics. Students are also engaging in hands-on projects, internships, and industry collaborations, fostering skills in design, analysis, and problem-solving.

This programme has obtained full accreditation from Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and recognition under the Washington Accord.
