Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Microelectronics with Embedded Technology

  Institution: Private: Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman

The programme will train, educate and prepare knowledgeable personnel to work in the nation work force with the direct focus to make Malaysia an innovative high income society. Graduates will be well trained in semiconductors, IC design, embedded systems and computing which are important knowledge/skills to support the E&E sectors.

The curriculum of the programme has been designed to meet the demands of the ETP. Students are trained in analogue and digital electronics, application specific IC and field programmable array, IC Design to design integrated circuits from front end to back end using current professional tools. These knowledge and skills will be important for the setting up of fabless design firms under the ETP. To complement the microelectronics content of the programme, students are also trained in embedded systems design with emphasis on latest microcontrollers like ARM, real time operating systems, RTOS, latest and in-depth programming skills. These knowledge and skills will be sought after by design houses/companies in automation, robotics, identification and monitoring, test and measurement, solar, LED,and consumer electronics.
Note: This Programme is a Bachelor of Science Degree, not Bachelor of Engineering Degree
