Mechanical engineering deals with the design, manufacture and maintenance of machine components and systems from small domestic products to highly complex power generation, vehicle and aerospace systems. Mechanical engineers need to respond to a changing world dominated by advances in technology. The combination of broad engineering knowledge and detailed expertise that you will gain in specialist fields will enable you to harness these changes.

Note:
* In addition to the above sequence, the successful completion of HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering is required for the award of the above degree and can be taken at any stage of the course.

* Students have the option to do Industry-Based Learning (IBL) for six to 12 months in Year 3 Semester 2. A fee will apply for this option. IBL can be used to fulfil the requirements of HED400.

Malaysian students are required by the Ministry of Higher Education to successfully complete the Compulsory Subjects (Mata Pelajaran Wajib) prior to graduation.

This course equips graduates for careers in many areas of industry and commerce including automotive, vehicle, transport, power, manufacturing, materials processing, appliance production, mechanical building services, mining and raw material conversion.
