BACHELOR OF ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (COMPUTER ENGINEERING)

  Institution: Private: Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM)

INTRODUCTION

Computer Engineering Department holds a course in electronic engineering degree with focus on computer engineering. In general, computer engineering is a combination of electronics engineering and computer sciences. Therefore, students undertaking the course will have a sound knowledge of theory and practical in both fields.

Electronic engineering elements cover the whole basic knowledge of analog and digital electronics circuit design. Students are taught on circuit theory, logic circuits, digital system, microprocessor and microcontroller. At later stage of studies, students are focus more towards computer science elements such as various programming languages, data structure, real time system, computer architecture and software design. Microelectronicsfundamentals are also introduced via IC design syllabus that cater reconfigurable chips and process simulations.

Besides the core subjects, students are also taught on soft skills such as communication skills, entrepreneurship skills, engineering management skills and self-development. Students are required to undergo an industrial training during their third year of study for a minimum period of 18 weeks. The training will enhance the student’s technical knowledge and expose them to the real working environment in the industry.

In the final year of studies, students must endure a final year project which is a two-semester project that involves design and development of both hardware and software system. The topics covered range from digital system design, software development, networking applications, reprogrammable devices and also IC process simulation.

CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

The curriculum for the first year is the fundamental year for students with qualifications of Matriculation, STPM and also recognized Diploma holders. The subjects offered are Engineering Mathematics, fundamental subjects and also practical and application oriented work to strengthen the students’ knowledge and capabilities.

During Semester 6, all the students are required to undergo industrial training for a minimum period of 18 weeks at related companies. The purpose of this training is to equip all the graduates with the technical knowledge and communication skills,  which are useful pre-requisites before they venture into the real working environment.

The final year students are required to undertake a Bachelor Degree Project where they can apply their knowledge and skills that has been learnt and acquired. Generally, the project is related to computer engineering field which is appropriate with the industrial needs and current technology development.

Other than the core courses that are conducted in the lectures as well as being handled in the practical and application sessions, the students are provided with engineering management skills, entrepreneurship, communication skills, co-curriculum and also personality development to produce engineers who are not only just acquiring high-level skills but are also independent and possess good attitude in their work.

A total of 132 credits are required to be completed successfully before the Bachelor Degree can be awarded.
