Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

The program aims to provide students with an excellent foundation in the core technical competencies of the disciplines: thermal and fluid sciences, solid mechanics and materials, and dynamics and control. Built upon these strengths is a very strong focus on the application of these technical abilities through our design and manufacturing project-oriented courses.

This program has obtained full accreditation from MQA and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

Mechanical Engineering is a profession involving the design, development, production, management, and maintenance of machinery to fulfill the needs of modern living.

As a mechanical engineer, you would design and specify mechanical machinery, components, and tools. You could also be in charge of the technicians that will install and maintain the machinery and components. You might work in a range of industries, for example, manufacturing, construction, power, medicine and health, transport and sports. This job requires you to be good at communicating, giving presentations, and also being creative in coming up with new ideas.
