overview

We offer a variety of courses which are related to electrical engineering. The content of these courses are mainly similar in the principal years, where we emphasize more on fundamental knowledge of wide scientific foundation in mathematics, physics and computers. As you cruise on to the subsequent years of these courses, you will come across several subjects of specialization based on the specific field that you have chosen.

Currently, there is a course for Diploma of Electrical Engineering and 4 main courses offered that lead to BEng degree in Electrical Engineering which are Industrial Power, Power Electronics & Drives, Control, Instrumentation & Automation and Mechatronics Engineering.

For post graduate programmes, we offer courses in Master and Doctorate levels, both by research. You may want to look into more details of the courses to get the basic idea. Remember, your future lies in your hand!

Diploma in Electrical Engineering

Go slow and steady by taking the Diploma of Electrical Engineering course. While people may have thought that it is better to directly undergo the Bachelor degree course, it is actually safer and easier to take diploma degree first. Then, after finishing the diploma course, you may jump into worklife as a technical assistant, electrician etc. or you may opt to further your education to the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering level. But of course, be wise and patient and choose the latter as higher education promises more opportunity.

B.Eng in Electrical Engineering
(Industrial Power)

This course is emphasis on the electrical energy system which includes generation, transmission, power distribution, power protection, application of energy, load management and regulation procedure of electrical energy. It also comprises the introduction to electrical components such as circuit breaker, regulator and others.

B.Eng in Electrical Engineering
(Power Electronic & Drive)

The Power Electronics & Drives (PED) course is aimed to produce graduates who have broad electrical engineering knowledge and strong technical competency in the field of PED. The important of the PED is being increasingly visible in the electrical engineering technologies which utilize power electronics conversion and control technique to design and produce high efficiency, high performance, miniaturized of the end products and more environmental friendly equipment. Most of the PED applications involved in multi-discipline technologies ranging from analog & digital control system, power conversion, sensors, various types of electrical motor, interfacing, computer and embedded controller programming.

B.Eng in Electrical Engineering
(Control, Instrumentation & Automation)

This course is a broad area that discusses the methods of production and instrument. The control, instrumentation and automation engineering is a combination of three areas; control engineering, instrumentation engineering and automation engineering. This combination results in a complex system, which comprises analysis and control design system, robotics, introductory to FMS system and automation.

B.Eng in Mechatronics

Mechatronics provides interdisciplinary engineering fields of electrical and electronic, mechanical, control and computer engineering. Look around and you’ll find that there are so many things that can be categorized as mechatronics design such as anti-lock braking systems, automatic gate systems, digital cameras, video players, cd- players and washing machines. Graduates of this course have a great opportunity to
work in research & development sectors that produce mechatronics products and in industries where mechatronics are applied.

M.Sc in Electrical Engineering (by research)

This programme will run for an optimum period of 24 months but it can be reduced to 18 months once all the research objectives have been achieved. Research in our faculty includes the area of Power System & Industrial Application, Power Electronic & Drive, Control, Instrumentation & Automation and Electric Machine. We offer programs that will not only improve your reseach skills and methodology but also research topics that are closely related and applicable to the industry. You will be supervised by experienced lecturers here. All research in UTeM are closely monitored by the University-Industry Centre (UNIC). Below are several areas of interest that are offered by our faculty:

1. Power System Generation, Operation and Control
2. Analysis and Modelling of Power System
3. Transmission and Distribution Systems
4. Mechatronics Systems
5. Power Electronics and Drives
6. Control, Instrumentation & Automation
7. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

See details of our research activities in our RESEARCH section.

PhD in Electrical Engineering
