Overview
Electrical and Electronics Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and this programme will cover multiple subject areas like analogue electronics, microelectronic chip design, digital signal processing, power generation, protection and distribution, C++ programming..., instrumentation and measurements control, renewable energy systems, and more. Students will also have the chance to learn MATLAB, PSPICE and LABVIEW which are used to run simulations in projects and research.
* This programme received a 100% graduate employability score in the Ministry of Higher Education’s Graduate Employability 2022. (Source: ge.mohe.gov.my/)
Programme Details
The duration of the programme is 4 years.
In each year there are two long-semesters consisting of 14 weeks of instruction with 2 weeks of examinations, and one short-semester consisting of 7 weeks of instruction with 1 week of examinations. The long-semesters start in January and May, while the short-semester starts in September.
In the months of September to Decembers, students undergo industrial training under the Co-Operative Placement Scheme to learn and to familiarize themselves with real life working environment. In addition, students also undertake a research and development project in their final year.
The number of contact hours per courses per week depends on the credit and teaching methodology of each course. Each credit is approximately equivalent to 1 hour of class, or 2 hours of labs per week.
