BACHELOR OF MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING - BEKM
Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering is a synergistic combination of several engineering disciplines,
namely electrical & electronic, mechanical, control, and computer systems design. This program aims to
produce graduates who are competent in creating, designing and producing mechatronics products that
consist of mechanical and electronic systems which require control of the computer system. Course Implementation This course would take four (4) years minimum and consist of at least 139 credit hours. The course will
emphasize on Mechatronics Engineering with the composition of the credits are as follows: | Credit Hours | Percentage | | Compulsory University Courses | 22-23 | 16-17% | Core Program Courses Engineering (96) Programming & Mathematics | 111 | 81% | Core Course & Elective | 6 | 4% | This course will be conducted with approximately 80% of contact hours that emphasize theory and the
remainder 20% meeting hour, involving the practical / laboratory experiments, computer-aided learning,
and Problem Based Learning (PBL). It also encourages active and cooperative learning activities other
than carrying out assignments, job workshops, industrial training and one final year project based on
industrial problem. Graduates Career Prospects Vacancies within the industries for engineers that are skilled and practical-oriented is on the rise. Lots of
highly trained workforces in the entire engineering sector including Industry Power, Control,
Instrumentation and Automation, Power Electronics and Drive and Mechatronics in professional level
are required. Job opportunities for UTeM graduates in these fields will be more desirable by the industry
once they have been equipped with the technical knowledge and strong practical skills.
