programmes are wide range degree programmes and it has a close relationship with industrial needs. This programme provides a basic foundation in Mechanical Engineering. Our graduates will become engineers in assembly lines, Research and Design (R&D), sales and marketing or quality control fields. With this qualification, graduates may become a Professional Engineers and can then fur ther their studies in Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) leading to a Master’s Degree and followed by a Doctorate.
The programme is usually offered to candidates with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering as well as to those who have completed the Science Matriculation Programme. The duration of this programme is four years and comprises eight semesters for a full-time study mode. Candidates with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from UiTM would be admitted to the third semester with credits exemptions while candidates from the Matriculation Asasi UiTM Programme would begin from the first semester. Candidates with other diploma qualifications would be admitted to the second or third semester with some credits exemptions. The faculty also offers the Degree Programme on a part-time basis.
Graduates are eligible to register as engineers with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM) and the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), and qualify to sit for the professional examinations of Professional Engineers (P.Eng) upon completion of graduate training.
All students are also required to undergo two extra curricular courses in the first two semesters. The students may choose any two courses of their interests from a very wide range of activities offered by the Student Affair Department of the University. These courses aim to nurture a more balance students with a strong academic capability and socials awareness. The students are also strongly encouraged to join any clubs and societies of their interests. There are many registered clubs and societies such as Aero- Model Club.
Engineering students are strongly encouraged to join registered professional bodies such as Institute of Engineering, Malaysia (IEM) Student Chapter UiTM. Many activities such as seminars, colloquiums and industrial visits are organized regularly.
The choices and career options are diverse. Graduates from this programme maybe employed in technical, engineering or management department. In addition to the traditional engineering functions such as design and manufacturing, engineers are also in demand in other areas such as sales, marketing, project management, business and administration and quality control manager. There is also a strong demand for good and analytical graduates in other fields and may follow a career path outside of the engineering field. With this degree qualification, a graduate may also become a researcher in a research institution or an academician in an institution of higher. learning. Graduates from the degree programme may further their studies in UiTM of other institution, leading to a Master’s degree and then continue to PhD
