engineering programmes. You have indeed
made the right decision which will prepare
you to be skilled and competent engineers

The main objective of this academic handbook is to be a point of reference for students to
understand and get to know both the faculty and the programmes offered at the university,
especially in FKM. Students are exposed to the world of knowledge, competency and skills
which are blended together to develop their self-esteem in philosophy, creativity and critical
thinking, as well as to strengthen their commitments in serving the country. It is also to equip
students to be well-prepared in facing challenges and survive in future.

In the context of professional graduates, the faculty has provided various facilities for
students to assist in developing their skills and self-competence. 'Research Power House', which
