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 steppingstone to an alternative career in accountancy, teaching, law, etc – a real foundation for life. Our courses
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 course is fundamental to a successful career in the IT Industry, electronics manufacturing, electronic
product design, robotics and communications industries. It is a challenging course requiring creative and
innovative skills. Some of the course content includes electronics, electronics materials,
telecommunications and computing. Our course 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.
This aim is achieved by:

delivering 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.


developing a 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;

providing a supportive, structured environment in which students are encouraged to develop
independent learning skills;

promoting 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 course 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 course could facilitate your route to
becoming a Chartered Engineer, after completing an IET accredited Masters level programme of further
learning.
Learning outcomes indicate what you should know and understand, and be able to do on successful
completion of the course. 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.
The 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 course 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.
Assessment regulations: a summary (the text of the progression regulations is maintained on the Web)
To pass and proceed from each stage to the next, and also to be eligible for a BEng award, you must
achieve at least 40% in 100 credits and at least 35% in the other 20 credits.

The class and division of the Honours Degree of Bachelor shall be awarded to individual students
according to the order of the final overall weighted average marks from the assessments in Stages 2 and 3,
derived from a 30.0% weighting for Stage 2 and a 70.0% weighting for Stage 3. The BEng award has the
normal undergraduate classifications of First, Upper Second, Lower Second and Third Class as shown in
the table below.

BEng (Hons) students are entitled to supplementary assessments in Stage 2 modules under University
regulations. At Stage 3 supplementary assessment is only permitted in up to 30 credits, excluding the
Project (ENG3042J), which must be passed at first attempt.
If you complete Stage 1 successfully, you are eligible for a Certificate of Higher Education; if you complete
Stage 2 successfully, you are eligible for a Diploma of Higher Education. The learning outcomes for these
awards and the final award are consistent with those of the national qualifications framework for England.
Teaching, learning 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 course, 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.
Student support and guidance
This is well provided at INTI-UC or IICP and the University. All members of academic and support staff at
INTI-UC IICP and the University are accessible. All you need to do is ask and we are willing to help.
Your time studying for your degree, in Malaysia, will result in personal and professional associations that
will sustain you throughout your career.
Both INTI-UC and IICP provide important, state-of-the-art facilities including extended access to Library
and Computing services. The Career and Counselling Centre provides free counselling and related
services, such as the Mentor Mentee Programme, study skills and career seminars. The Student Affairs
Office provides welfare services and support to the disabled.
The curriculum
The course 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.
