YEAR 1
The modules offered in this programme provides an appropriate platform for an Engineering professional to understand the basic principles of engineering in the areas of Circuit Analysis, Electrical and Electronic principles, Electronic Devices, Instrumentation and Measurement and Engineering materials. A sound exposure of laboratory work is also included by offering modules such as Engineering workshop and materials lab, and Electronic Devices and Circuits lab.
Further a thorough grounding in principles of IT and management are provided by the Programming and Management modules such as Engineering Mathematics, and Introduction to programming provide the basic academic skills required to meet the demands of employers. The Engineer in Society provides students with the knowledge required as a professional engineer in terms of ethics and the environment.
Plus 3 MQA modules, applicable only to Malaysian students
YEAR 2
In Year 2 you start specializing in modules that develop the necessary underlying knowledge and skills in the field of Medical Electronics Engineering. . Further in-depth Medical Electronics skills are developed here with modules such as Analogue and Digital Electronics, Electrical Machines apart from the core modules, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Signals and Linear Systems and. To obtain practical hands-on skills in these areas special laboratory modules have also been included. A common theme that underlines all the awards is the development of innovative thinking with the Creativity and Innovation module.
YEAR 3
Specialised knowledge and skills in the area of Control Engineering, Assist Devices, Medical Instrumentation, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Equipment and Microprocessors and Microcontrollers are a critical focus of this level. There is further development of the ability to apply relevant engineering skills with strong critical thinking and analysis. To support the project work in the final year, the Research Method for Engineers module will enable students to understand the techniques of literature review. Further understanding of the learning of the first three years of the programme can be exhibited by doing the Mini Project.
| INTERNSHIPIndustry placement with a suitable organization for a minimum period of 12 weeks | This internship programme will start at the end of Year 3 and will be completed before the start of Year 4) |
YEAR 4
The final year Engineering modules provide the necessary industry application technological skills which become very useful for employment upon graduation. These modules include, Digital Signal and Image Processing, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Equipment 2, Radiological Equipment, Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks, and Project Management .You will enhance your technical capability and understanding how to innovate, generate and manage the creation of new ideas and problem solving.
The Project Phase 1 (Investigation) in Medical Electronics will enable students to take on R&D with commercialization. The Medical Electronics Engineering Final Year Project Phase 2 (Implementation) also develops the academic and practical aspects of your chosen areas of study and reinforces your independent learning skills. This is where you will demonstrate higher level critical thinking analysis and solutions development skills which will enhance your employability.

INTAKES
Engineering is central to an exciting range of businesses and industries, including space, construction, transport, cosmetics, medicine, food, fashion and much more. With engineering, you can follow your interests – if you like sport, you can work as an engineer improving the performance of new tennis rackets. Engineers work in offices, laboratories, film studios, in the outdoors and underground. Engineering today is closely linked with technology, and plays a major role in many technological advances and new device production. You might be reading this on your phone, and that will be thanks to engineers. As an engineer you could be designing colour-matching technology to determine the best make-up for different skin tones or working as part of a team to improve the performance of artificial hip joints.
This is about the application of engineering principles to the medical field. This area of engineering combines design and problem solving skills with biological sciences to find solutions to a variety of medical problems, such as improving the efficiency and effectiveness of a range of artificial limbs, the diagnostic equipment that is used in hospitals e.g. MRI scans and the latest drugs. It is a relatively new discipline but one that is constantly expanding to include new areas of research and recent medical advances. Medical engineers may work in hospitals or research and development companies. Medical engineering roles are varied and are likely to involve working with health professionals and a range of suppliers from pharmaceutical companies to the manufacturers of scalpels!
