Introduction
Engineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of Malaysia and
the surrounding economies. It is the profession responsible for the creation of all
material objects and systems necessary for modern life from concept to customer to
decommissioning. Engineering is fundamental to the creation and sustainability of
the environment itself. Your studies at INTI-UC or IICP, will be a foundation for life
aimed at developing a deep understanding of fundamental and advanced technical
principles, analytical tools, and competence in their application, together with a wide
range of management, personal and professional skills. An excellent way to develop
these skills is to undertake an industrial placement as an integral part of your degree
studies, which would normally take place at the end of Year 2. The BEng programme
sets out: (i) to give technical depth across the discipline and in relevant specialist
applications of technology; (ii) to provide breadth to encourage innovators. Upon
graduation you will have the capacity for meaningful interdisciplinary interaction, and
professional growth, which may include seeking Chartered Engineer (CEng) status
after doing further postgraduate studies. The ability of an engineer to think clearly
and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may
well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in accountancy, teaching, law, etc –

a real foundation for life. Our programmes combine the vital theoretical backbone
with the creative, practical and personal skills needed for a career as a professional
engineer.
Electrical and electronic engineering is the practical application of electrical science
and technology to the solution of problems in industry, commerce and society. This
exciting and rapidly-developing field will continue to be the technological revolution of
the 21st century. From a heart monitor to a power station; from a satellite system to
the semiconductor chips in your computer, electrical and electronic engineers
provide the products, skills, services and above all, ingenuity, upon which modern
life depends.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This programme is fundamental to a successful career in the IT Industry, electronics
manufacturing, electronic product design, robotics and communications industries. It
is a challenging programme requiring creative and innovative skills. Some of the
programme content includes electronics, electronics materials, telecommunications
and computing. Our programme emphasises practical skills in designing, making and
testing, computer technologies, with substantial group projects in year 2 and an
individual project in your third year of study.
General Features
We aim to produce BEng graduates who are imaginative, innovative, versatile and
competitive, who will be able to progress rapidly to professional positions of
responsibility with minimal additional training, and who can provide technical,
managerial and entrepreneurial leadership in specialist/interdisciplinary projects.
Programme Aims
The programme is intended to:




deliver a challenging and broad range of study, introducing core material in the
early years, before developing more advanced concepts, techniques and
discipline specialities in the last year.
Develop broad, deep subject knowledge and understanding, developing
discipline skills, providing an good level of business and management
knowledge and developing personable transferable skills, all of which enable
graduates to pursue programmes of further study, or to move quickly into
leadership roles of responsible employment;
Provide a supportive, structured environment in which students are encouraged
to develop independent learning skills;
Promote educational opportunities for ethnic minority, women, mature and
alternatively qualified students, as well as for school-leavers and traditionally
qualified students.
BEng EEE. At the end of this programme you will be able to understand and apply
the principles of electrical and electronic components and systems, with a
specialisation in power/ high current electronics. You will also be able to undertake a
project from start to finish, including planning, specification, PCB design, parts

procurement, testing and commissioning, and also to professionally document and
present the associated material. These skills will be of immediate value to an
employer in the electronics field, and thus will be rewarded accordingly. Gaining a
lower second or above on this programme could facilitate your route to becoming a
Chartered Engineer, after completing an IET accredited Masters level programme of
further learning.
Programme Learning Outcomes
Engineering is an interactive process usually involving creation, planning, analysis,
design, economic evaluation, manufacture, operation & maintenance and
decommissioning with a view to minimising environmental impact. As such, you will
develop the following:

Knowledge and Understanding of fundamental concepts, principles and
underpinning theories; appropriate numerical methods to solve technical
problems; fundamental and principles and practice of engineering design and
manufacture; business and management practices for engineering; roles and
responsibilities of professional engineers; concepts, principles and theories
required for successful and creative innovation.

Discipline Specific Skills in the use of computers in creation, innovation,
design, and rapid prototyping; generic and specialised numerical methods for
modelling and analysing engineering problems relevant to your chosen
specialism; selection and application of principles of data collection and
manipulation methods to support problem solving.

Personal and Transferable Skills in data management and presentation;
interpretation of information; IT and communication skills; creative and
systematic problem solving; scientific method; life long learning; teamwork
and leadership; and personal management.
Curriculum
The map of the curriculum that you will study is detailed at the end of this document
showing core (C) modules. At the end of Year 2 you will undertake a 3-month period
of industrial placement.
At INTI-UC and IICP, each year, or stage, of a BEng programme comprises two long
terms of 15-week duration with 50 credits being studied in each term and a short
term of seven weeks duration in which 20 credits are studied. For 10 credit modules
all of the teaching and assessment is undertaken in the same term. Some of the 20
credit modules have teaching and assessment that occurs in two of the terms.
The programme structure that you will follow at INTI-UC or IICP will take the same
form as that delivered at the University of Bradford, UK. This is shown in the
following table.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies
You will experience a wide range of teaching and learning environments. Concepts,
principles and theories are generally explored in formal lectures, practised in
associated tutorials and demonstrated in laboratory classes. Practical skills are
developed in laboratory, drawing office, design studio or fieldwork sessions.
Cognitive and personal skills are developed in more open-ended problem solving
and design exercises, often tackled by working in small groups supported by
members of academic staff. Project work is used to bring together various aspects of
your programme, including interdisciplinary issues.
Typically, each module at stage 1 and 2 will involve you in 36 hours of organised
teaching. However, this is reduced to 24 hours at stage 3 as you are encouraged to
become more self-supporting and independent in your approach to learning by way
of individual, interdisciplinary, and research-based projects. Methods of Assessment
are varied and your progress will be assessed using a mix of formal examinations,
various technical reports, essays, oral presentations and dissertations.
