Hands-on experience is crucial for a student’s development and critical thinking.
ENGINEERING is the application of science and mathematics to solve real-world problems, driven by engineers – the visionary minds behind the innovations, technologies and essential infrastructures that power our modern world.
The demand for skilled and qualified engineers is on the rise globally and at the University of Wollongong (UOW) Malaysia, engineering programmes are crafted with a design-centric curriculum that nurtures complex problem-solving skills.
Going beyond theory, these programmes focus on equipping future engineers with the adaptability to thrive in the rapidly-changing engineering landscape.
Collaboration among students and faculty members further enhances the problem-solving experience.
Alongside technical expertise, UOW emphasises the development of high ethical and professional standards, as well as crucial communication and leadership skills.
The university’s engineering programmes are fully accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
This accreditation ensures that the programmes meet the high academic standards needed for graduates to become registered graduate engineers in Malaysia and start their engineering careers.
UOW’s commitment to practical learning ensures students gain valuable hands-on experience through engagement in real-world projects.
The university’s engineering programmes in Mechanical, Mechatronics, as well as Electrical and Electronics, allow students to collaborate with the faculty team and contribute to advanced research from the undergraduate level.
UOW honours student Amr AlSoufi, who is pursuing his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, shared his experience.
“Enjoy the learning process and don’t underestimate yourself, as failure is a step toward success,” he observed.
