Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Hons)

What will you learn?

These programs are designed to prepare you for professional careers and higher advancement in the area of communication, electronics, computers, control systems, signal processing, power engineering and other related areas.

The curriculums for these undergraduate programs require a strong foundation in mathematics, calculus, physics, computer literacy and programming. Engineering courses begin from the first year itself and include topics, among others, electrical circuits, electronics, digital logic design, microprocessors, signals and system, control systems, and data communication and network. In addition to these topics, you will also be exposed to specialized topics such as electrical machines and drives, power systems, process control and instrumentation, communication systems.

Laboratory works, which include electrical measurement techniques, application of non-linear devices, digital logic design, electrical machines, microprocessor, signal processing, computer networks and communication are intended to reinforce the principles obtained in the classroom. In addition, many engineering courses are classified as design courses and complemented by computer aided engineering software as simulation and design tools, thus further consolidating the understanding of engineering principles and its application. You are also required to take language and social science courses to become better balanced in terms of technical and social knowledge and skills. In the end of the third year, you will go through industrial training with industries all over Malaysia. This provides insights on the real working environment outside.

During the final year, you are free to choose several topics from technical electives, to specialize deeper in an area of their interest. You may choose to streamline to a particular options grouping. Design project courses (the Capstone Design and the Final Year Project) during the final year will aid you in gaining experience of current technology and equipment usage as well as provide opportunities to apply engineering principles that you have acquired earlier on, and even further advance into investigative research.
