Design competitions
Engineering competitions offer valuable opportunities to hone your skills, gain real-world experience, and may well be a stepping stone to greater things. Our students have excelled in events such as Shell Eco-marathon Asia, Thailand SAE Auto Challenge-Student Formula, National Chem-E-Car Malaysia, GreenTech Youth Innovation Challenge, and Monash Australia’ s Warman Student Design and Build competitions.
Industry engagement
Our engineering disciplines are guided by industry advisory panels that provide insights on engineering education in Malaysia and future industry needs. Students benefit from industry-linked final-year and research projects, internships, and placements, as well as career talks, guest lectures, and seminars by industry leaders.
Research opportunities
Experience a genuine research environment through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, learning from leading academics and gaining skills to prepare you for your final-year project and higher degree studies.
Work experience
Classrooms provide the foundation for your engineering journey. Work experience amplifies your learning and hones your hands-on skills. As an Engineering student, you’ ll go on a 12-week internship, which will help you build hands-on experience, industry connections, and the technical and professional skills that set you apart in the job market.
Volunteering
Engineers Without Borders is an international volunteer organisation that partners with developing communities for sustainable, responsible engineering solutions. Our student chapter offers projects where you can make a positive impact on your local community while developing leadership, teamwork, time management, and project management skills.
Our students have contributed to diverse initiatives, including hosting life skills workshops for refugee students, installing a micro-hydro generator for a school in Sarawak with Lightup Borneo, constructing facilities for shelters and schools, instrument-making workshops with GoodKids Malaysia, and enhancing flood resilience in Pahang by planting bamboo along riverbanks.
