馬來西亞理工大學(xué)UTM

During the first year, Electrical Engineering fundamentals are taught stressing on courses of Introduction to Electrical Engineering, Programming Techniques, Circuit Theory, Circuit and Systems, Electronic Devices and Digital Electronic, besides reinforcement in Mathematics courses.

During the second year, the Electrical Engineering core modules are emphasized focusing on Electronic Circuits, Signals and Systems, Electronic Instrumentation and Measurement, Basic Power and Electric Machine, Digital Systems and Electromagnetic Field Theory.

Students are required to undergo industrial training at least for a duration of 12 weeks either in the private sector or government sector during a the ‘Short Semester’ in the third year. This is to equip future graduates with practical technical skills besides exposing them to the industrial working environment.

During the final year, students will be given options to choose their specialization in one of the Electrical Engineering areas, namely, Power Engineering. Students are required to select five (5) courses in their chosen specialization area to expand their knowledge.

Power Engineering Option

• Electricity Market
• High Voltage Testing and Calibration
• Photovoltaic and Wind Energy System
• Power System Control
• Power System Design and Operation

Programme Outcomes

Students of the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) programme are expected to have the following outcomes:

1. Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and electrical engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems.

2. Ability to conduct experiments and researches, perform analysis and interpret data for complex engineering problems.

3. Ability to identify, formulate, investigate and synthesis of information to solve complex engineering problems.

4. Ability to use appropriate techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools, instrumentation, software and hardware necessary for complex engineering practice with an understanding of their limitations.

5. Ability to design solutions for complex system, component, or process within a defined specification that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

6. Ability to articulate ideas, communicate effectively, in writing and verbally, on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large.
