Bachelor of Technology (Honours) in Mechatronics
Share this on:
Mechatronics teaches you a combined mechanical, electrical, computer and industrial engineering to develop intelligent-integrated machines, systems, processes and methodologies. This is an ever-expanding field with the majority of electrical devices now having mechanical parts integrated with electronic components.
You will gain knowledge of mechatronic engineering fundamental and principles, and become well-versed in mechanical, electronics and software integration. Using tools and techniques appropriate to mechatronics engineering technology, you will be able to resolve related problems and design their systematic solutions. You will also learn to work with the appropriate consideration for public health and safety as well as concerns for the environment and sustainability.

2. Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL)
Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) provides an opportunity for individuals with working experience but lack of formal academic qualifications to pursue their tertiary studies. APEL involves the identification, documentation and assessment of prior experiential learning to determine the extent to which an individual has achieved the desired learning outcomes, for access to a programme of study.
Applicants should comply with the following admission criteria stipulated by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA):
- The candidate should be at least 21 years of age in the year of application and possess relevant work experience.

All of the University’s courses are classified into three categories, i.e., lower level, middle level or higher level. Lower-level courses are basic, introductory or foundation courses designed for freshmen. Middle-level courses may require some knowledge of previous study or a certain amount of intellectual maturity. Higher level courses are specialised courses usually designed for those majoring in a particular discipline. The level of a course is indicated by the first digit of the course code, i.e., lower level courses are indicated by the code 1XX/XX, middle level courses by 2XX/XX and higher level courses by 3XX/XX or 4XX/XX. The 2 digits after the slash indicate the credit value of the course. i.e., WLA101/03 is a lower level course of 3 credits while BBM203/05 is a middle level course of 5 credits and TEC305/10 is a higher level course of 10 credits.
