Bachelor of Science (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical And Electronic Engineering Course In Penang, Malaysia

Dual Award program

Electrical and Electronic engineering is at the forefront of developing new technologies for a number of industries including transport, healthcare, construction, and robotics. This engineering discipline is built on the idea of improving systems to help humanity. Smart phones that revolutionized the communication world, sensors and embedded system that is part of ‘smart homes’ and autonomous cars wouldn’t have been possible without this engineering field.

Nikola Tesla (pioneer of commercial electricity and electromagnetism), Thomas Edison (developer of the light bulb and inventor of the record player), Marcian Hoff (inventor of the microprocessor) and Martin Cooper (inventor of the mobile phone) are some of the inspirational personnel with electrical and electronic background.

In industry 4.0, Electrical and Electronic Engineering would be fundamental in connectivity and communication section, human-machine interaction as well as advanced manufacturing since most smart systems would rely on numerous sensors for real time analysis. This is why our electrical and electronic engineering courses in Penang, Malaysia are designed to keep up with modern industrial requirements.

This dual award degree offers students an outstanding educational experience in which students not only receive a UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College degree but also a UK degree award from Northumbria University.

Why Study Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Graduates of the program can be in a broad area of applications which include industries such as integrated circuit(IC), automotive, aerospace, power plants, telecommunication and many more.

You can analyse, test, design, construct, and manage various engineering systems and be involved in the advancement of industries including automotive, aeronautical, robotics, software, manufacturing, semiconductor and building services industries.

The structure of the program provides an opportunity for industrial experience and specialisation in the final year. The industrial placement emphasises the relevance of the program, increases confidence and enhances employment prospects. The idea of this attachment is to enable students to gain first-hand experience in the industry as well as an insight into how theories are put into practice in real engineering situations. This short attachment in the industry is beneficial as it provides the intellectual challenge to students especially in the final year and when carrying out their final year project.

This Electrical and Electronic program provides a well-established balance between theory and practice. The curriculum consists of a good mix of general courses in Electrical and Electronic as well as offering three elective courses (Electronics/Electrical/Communication). We aspire to develop all-rounded students through our electrical and electronic engineering courses in Penang, Malaysia.
