Sunway University has announced that it will be introducing two new programmes at its School of Engineering and Technology – the Bachelor of Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Honours and the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours programmes.
The two new programmes are addition to the currently available 11 graduate and post-graduate programmes. The first cohort of students for the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours programme will begin in August 2020, while the first cohort for the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours programme will begin in March 2022.
Professor Serge Demidenko, Dean of School of Engineering and Technology, said “Science, Technology, and Engineering, including electronics, communications, and Computing, have been pivotal to the introduction of innovative and efficient solutions and tools to mitigate the damage caused by the calamity of the pandemic.
He further explained that the programmes are the result of extensive work which has been carried out during the last two years by the team at the School of Engineering and Technology, supported by the relevant offices of the University.
Sunway University has also invested in new laboratories and high-quality equipment to facilitate the expansion of the programmes. Students will be exposed to the most up-to-date theories, engineering techniques, equipment, and tools thanks to the School’s use of cutting-edge teaching procedures and approaches.
“Our engineering programmes are designed to nurture future engineers to build a technology-enabled world. We are offering a new line of curriculum in addition to the fundamental principles of engineering to produce engineers with future skills,” said Associate Professor Ir. Abdul Aziz Omar, Director of Engineering Programs Development.
Both of the new Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) programmes have received provisional accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), as well as the approval from the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia.
Graduates of both programmes will be able to register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as Graduate Engineers while also preparing to become Professional Engineers once they have achieved professional experience and met BEM requirements.
This Professional Engineer qualification is internationally recognised through the Washington Accord of the International Engineering Alliance – the global organisation that establishes and enforces internationally bench-marked standards for engineering education and expected competence for engineering practice.
Sunway University’s School of Engineering and Technology also engages in active research in support of the University’s strategic ambitions. From winning awards in global forums, publishing first-in-the-world radiation research, to being among the world’s top-cited researchers, the School aims to continue education and research to a superior level.
The programme is open to Malaysian and international students. Scholarship opportunities are also provided, including inaugural bursaries for the first student cohorts.
