original: 17 June 2004, Updated: 12April 2007
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 and INTI-SJ 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.
The BEng programme sets out to give technical depth across the discipline and in relevant specialist applications of
technology, and to provide a good understanding of design, manufacture and business. Upon graduation you will have
the capacity for meaningful interdisciplinary interaction and professional growth, which may include seeking
Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. 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 courses combine the vital theoretical backbone with the
creative, practical and personal skills needed for a career as a professional engineer.
Aims
We aims to produce BEng graduates who are imaginative, innovative, versatile and competitive, who will be able to
progress to professional positions of responsibility, 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 advanced concepts, techniques and discipline specialities in the later years. The first two years of
the BEng (Hons) are shared with the MEng in Mechanical Engineering and following a strong performance
by second year it may be possible to transfer to that course;

Developing a broad understanding of design and manufacture, providing a 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.
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: 
Use general and specialist knowledge and understanding of engineering to optimise the application of existing
technology and to produce innovative uses for emerging technology.

Provide technical expertise in theoretical, computational, and practical methods to the analysis and solution of
engineering problems, particularly in vibrations, material failure mechanics, and modelling and simulation.

Teaching, learning and assessment strategies
The teaching and learning strategy takes into consideration the learning outcomes, progression through the levels of
study, the nature of the subject and the student intake, and the need for you to take greater responsibility for your own
learning as you progress through the course. The strategies and methods implemented are:

The teaching and learning methods implemented to engage you in developing your knowledge and understanding
of the course include formal lectures (including those from Visiting Lecturers), case studies, tutorial exercises,
practical demonstrations, directed learning and individual work. The method of assessment is by written
examination and both analytical and experimental coursework.

The methods implemented in developing your intellectual skills include engaging with you during tutorial
exercises, case studies, practical demonstration and supervised research or project work. The methods of
assessment of intellectual skills are implicit in the written examinations, analytical and experimental coursework
and more particularly in your Final Year Project work.

The methods implemented in developing your practical skills include demonstrations and practicals linked with
the taught modules. You will also design and operate equipment and/or procedures and use control and measuring

instruments under supervision during your project work. The methods of assessment of practical skills include
feedback on laboratory work linked with the taught modules. Also a large part of the mark of the Project report
will be attributed to the Experimental Method and Equipment and the Presentation & Discussion of Results.

The methods implemented in developing the students’ transferable skills are implicit in the programme. This and
the learning facilities available to all students provide the conditions for students to develop and manage their
learning. The University of Bradford modus operandi, Making Knowledge Work, is imbedded in the philosophy
of this course and will be reflected in at INTI-UC and INTI-SJ, particularly in the area of Engineering, Design and
Technology, which are well equipped with practical and computational facilities. The methods of assessment of
transferable skills are built in the structure of the examinations, case studies, laboratory demonstrations and
research or project work.
Admissions policy
The entry requirement is the equivalent of 240 UCAS points, in addition to English Language requirements of IELTS
average Band 6.0 or equivalent. This must include a qualification in mathematics, such as AS Level or equivalent
study on a Diploma course.
Nevertheless, offers are only made after detailed consideration of each individual application and the precise
requirements we ask of candidates will vary. Most important in this decision is our assessment of a candidate’s
potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular course. We also pay
considerable attention to an applicant’s academic background and achievements and to all other non-standard
qualifications or who, lacking academic qualifications, have significant relevant experience.
Student support and guidance
This is provided at INTI-UC and INTI-SJ. All members of academic and support staff at INTI-UC and INTI-SJ are
approachable so you will always be able to find a “friendly face” with which you feel comfortable. All you need to do
is ask and we are ever willing to help.
Your time studying for your degree will result in personal and professional associations that will sustain you
throughout your career.
INTI-UC and INTI-SJ 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. INTI-UC and INTI-SJ have a system of handbooks, year tutors and formal staff-student
liaison committees so that issues are rapidly dealt with.
