Bachelor of Electronic Engineering with Honours

A rapid development in electronics, computer and telecommunication industry is one of the major contributors to the Malaysian economy. Rapid development has enabled the electronic, computer and telecommunication industry to flourish. This means that more and more competent electronic graduates are required, to meet the growing demand of skilled manpower. The requirements towards professionals in this field, is gradually intensifying and it is predicted that the need will be continued in the next few years.

Electronic Engineering is a vast area of studies and is gradually expanding. Graduates undertaking this program will face a demanding professional career ahead. Various courses are being offered within the program with the intention of preparing graduates with sufficient knowledge in electronic field.

Bachelor of Electronics Engineering with Honours offered by School of Electrical Engineering is accredited and recognized by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Graduates from the Bachelor of Electronics Engineering with Honours may apply to to register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia, as graduate engineer in the engineering field as shown in table below.

The Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) are statements that describe the expected graduates’ achievements after a few years of graduation. Table 1 shows the educational objectives for the programmes offered by School of Electrical Engineering and its targets of achievement.

Table 1: Programme educational objectives and the targets

PEO Graduates of the programme are able to:		Target (measured at least five years after graduation)
PEO1	Become Electronic Engineers who are competent, innovative, and productive in addressing customer needs.	60% of graduates work as engineers AND 10% of graduates work as senior engineer
PEO2	Grow professionally with proficient soft skills.	5% of graduates pursued post-graduate studies or enrolled in self-improvement or skill-based workshops (or equivalent) AND 1% of graduates become Professional Engineers or attain equivalent professional qualification
PEO3	Demonstrate high standards of ethical conduct, positive attitude, and societal responsibilities.	10% of graduates are involved in services to community

The School of Electrical Engineering has set a five (5) year period after graduation for the assessment of PEO achievement. Alumni Survey and Employer Survey are two indirect assessments that have been used to measure the achievement of PEOs. The Employer Survey is meant to obtain feedbacks from the industries on performance of our alumni with respect to the PEOs whereas Alumni Survey is meant to get info about the alumni’s professional development.

Students of the Bachelor of Electronic Engineering with Honours programme are expected to have the following outcomes:

Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and electrical/electronic engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Ability to perform research-based analysis, conduct experiments and interpret data for complex engineering problems.
