B.Eng (Hons) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Whether you join UCTI immediately after your secondary education or transfer to us from another institution of higher learning, we offer programmes at several levels and entry points, depending on your prior qualifications and experience.

There will be a clear progression of your learning to ensure that you will be empowered with the necessary skills and knowledge to enter the corporate world.

At UCTI, our full-time and part-time programmes are designed to provide flexibility and choice. The Engineering Degree Programmes all have the same modules in the first year so that you can decide which of our Engineering degrees you would like to choose in the second year and continue in the third year and final year to graduation. On graduation with an accredited degree you will be able to register as a Graduate Member and thereby leading the way to be a Professional Engineer with the Board of Engineers Malaysia after sufficient working experience and on fulfilling their requirements. This will allow you to use the title ‘Ir.’ (Ingeneiur).

If you enter our foundation course first you will take a range of modules to help you when you enter the degree and also to decide which of our degrees you want to select. At all times, our staff will be able to advise you on the choices available at each stage of your studies.

Duration:
Foundation:
3 Semesters / 1 year full time

Accredited Honours Degree:
9 semesters plus internship
(4 years of full-time study)
