INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, industries are using more Electronic Systems in machine and process control as well as automatic manufacturing. Among the main application of electronic systems in the factories are robot control system, electrical machine drives and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
In order to increase Malaysia’s industrial competitiveness, knowledge and skillful engineers in industrial electronics engineering are needed. The demand for professional work force in this field is increasing with the growth of global industries.
Therefore, university graduates must possess the ability to analyse and design the required electronic circuits. They must also possess the practical skills in industrial control system, thus being the first choice by industry. For this reason, the industrial electronic course is formed.
OBJECTIVE
To produce professional engineers that are skilful and possess strong fundamental knowledge in industrial electronic engineering.
CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
The first year in the university is the fundamental year for students with the qualifications of STPM, Matriculation or equivalent.
The subjects offered are Engineering Mathematics, Physics, Computer Programming, Fundamental of Electronics Engineering, personality strengthen subjects, co-curriculum and introductory subjects for chosen course. Apart from this, students have to undergo Engineering Workshop during the special semester in first year. This workshop is an effort to train students in electronic engineering workshop where they will be taught to use soldering tools, wiring and basic electronic measurement equipment.
