3.8 DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (DMC)

The curriculum structure for Year 1 is the strengthening of the knowledge for SPM school
leavers from technical, vocational and government aided. Courses offered by the Faculty
are Fundamental Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, Engineering Graphic, Statics,
Computer Programming and Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD), Principle of Electric and
Electronics, Manufacturing Process and Technology & Engineering Workshop Practice that
provide students with opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills in mechanical field.
Apart from the engineering courses, students are also offered English courses, TITAS, etc.

In Year 2 and Year 3, students will begin their studies in the programme courses such as
Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Material Science, Mechanics
of Machine, Engineering Design, Principle of Electronic & Microprocessor, Engineering
Mathematic, Statistics, and Differential Equation. At the end of Year 2 (special semester),
students are required to undergo an industrial training for a minimum of 10 weeks in various
related industries. The students will be exposed to the real industrial working environment
during this industrial training. Students will also have the opportunity to learn third language
as an additional course that will be offered by the Faculty in Year 2. In Year 3, students must
also conduct Diploma Projects during final semester before graduation.

Apart from the engineering courses, students are also offered several university compulsory
courses such as English courses, TITAS, management, entrepreneurship and communication.
With this curriculum, the diploma engineering graduates are expected to acquire high
technical knowledge and skills as well as good attitude in-line with Malaysia Education
Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education). It aims to equip the future graduates with technical
knowledge/skills and the preparation through the actual working environment in the industrial
