Thesis Submission and Examination
In the 2nd semester of the Masters’ program and in the 3rd semester of the PhD program, research students will undergo the
first stage evaluation process. The objective of this evaluation process is to assist and ensure the research they are
conducting is in the right direction and eventually meet the expectation of the research program. Students will receive a copy
of the panel report containing suggestion and recommendation that will guide and improve the undertaken work.
At the end of study, students will submit thesis for the purpose of oral examination. Prior to submission of the thesis for the
oral examination (viva), students must submit the Notice for a Thesis Submission form at least 3 months in advanced. This is
to ensure that approved internal and external examiners have been appointed by the university before the oral examination
can take place. Failure to do so may delay the viva process.

Program Structure. Graduate students can pursue a full-time or part-time taught course program. The full-time study
requires a minimum duration of 1.5 years (three semesters), whereas the part-time program takes normally take 2 years
(4 normal semesters and one 8-week short semester). The University’s Main Campus in Skudai offers only full-time
coursework programs (Perdana Programs), while the part-time coursework programs (Off-campus Programs) are only
available at the University’s City Campus in Kuala Lumpur or other centers.
Teaching Methods. A taught module takes the following forms: formal lectures, tutorials and assignment and/or
laboratory work. Each 3-credit module is delivered in 42 hours of lectures. Teaching/learning is student-centered; hence
it must be complemented with adequate self-study and self-learning by the candidate. Part-time taught course programs
involve modular teaching and distance learning, with lectures being delivered on weekends.
Assessment and Grading. Students’ progress is assessed (continuously) throughout the semester by a coursework
assessment component and a final examination for each module. The coursework component may consist of set written
assignments, practical work/lab assignments, and short tests. Total mark for each taught module will be 100%. The

BRIEF SYNOPSIS, M. ENG. COURSEWORK PROGRAMS
COURSE SYNOPSIS
MKEU 0013 Introduction to Research Methodology in Electrical Engineering
This course covers the general principles of Research Methodology that are applicable to any discipline. It discusses the
fundamental process in conducting an academic research. The theoretical and practical aspects of preparing a research
proposal presented. Amongst topics that will be covered are introduction to research and its philosophy, problem
formulation and research objective, literature review, research methodology and design, data collection procedures, data
analysis, research proposal and thesis preparation and research management.
MKEL 1113 Nano-electronic Devices
Semiconductors form the basis of most modern electronics systems. This course is designed to provide a basis for
understanding the characteristics, operation, and limitations of semiconductor devices. In order to gain this understanding,
it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of the physics of the semiconductor material. The goal is to bring together
quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of solids, semiconductor material physics, and semiconductor device physics.
All of these components are vital to the understanding of both the operation of present day devices and any future
development in the field. This course is a continuation to Microelectronics at undergraduate level and introduces advance
device concepts.
MKEL 1123 Advanced Microprocessor System
This course is about microprocessors in embedded systems. Embedded systems are hidden in everyday electronic devices,
such as cell phones, DVD players, automobiles, or even a few toasters. Other examples of embedded systems are
communications satellites, deep-space probes and many medical instruments. Unlike microprocessors used in general
purpose computer systems, embedded microprocessors are usually designed to perform a certain task and the user
seldom has to interact with it. This course extends the students’ knowledge of microprocessors by investigating embedded
systems design and state-of-the-art 32-bit embedded processors. The student will be familiarized with problems associated
with producing software and software in high-level language and assembly language for embedded systems. The topics
covered include high-level and assembly language programming for embedded microprocessors, memory and peripherals for
embedded systems, system development, and achieving high-performance in embedded systems.
