Career outcomes
- You graduate with the engineering preparation to pursue roles such as Mechatronics Engineer, Automation Engineer, Robotics Engineer, and IoT Systems Engineer in manufacturing and technology-focused organisations.
- By combining electronics, control systems, microprocessor topics, and applied projects, you build job-ready skills for designing and improving automated systems, industrial controls, and embedded solutions.
- The program includes Industrial Training (12 weeks), helping you transition from classroom learning to workplace practice and engineering teamwork.
- Your final-year project work and multiple applied modules (including big data and IoT electives) help you position yourself for design, development, and research-oriented engineering opportunities.
- Because the pathway is designed to earn a bachelor’s qualification in Malaysia and an additional master’s pathway through credit transfer (subject to residential requirements), you have clearer options to continue your engineering progression.
Employability rate
For engineering graduates in mechatronics and automation roles in Malaysia, an estimated employability rate is around 82% with an estimated unemployment rate of about 18%, reflecting ongoing demand for engineers with digital, IoT, and automation skills alongside a competitive hiring market.
