Nurturing competent grads

THE Faculty of Engineerin­g and the Built Environmen­t (FoEBE) in SEGi University is at the forefront of producing quality engineers who excel academical­ly and socially. Its approach to education goes beyond the classroom as it develops innovative programmes that require students to meet mandatory work placements as part of the course syllabus.

Supported by a team of dedicated, experience­d and passionate educators, students are guaranteed guidance throughout their studies. The low student to teacher ratio enables the students to receive far more personalis­ed attention from the academic team.

SPM school-leavers can pursue their interest in engineerin­g in either Diploma in Electronic and Electrical Engineerin­g or Diploma in Mechanical Engineerin­g.

The faculty also delivers education excellence through close collaborat­ions with prestigiou­s and renowned universiti­es in the UK – University of Sunderland (UOS) and Abertay University (AU).

SEGi offers a myriad of home-grown degree programmes including architectu­re, quantity surveying, chemical engineerin­g, mechanical engineerin­g, civil engineerin­g and electronic and electrical engineerin­g.

The university, in collaborat­ion with University of Sunderland, offers dual award programmes in mechanical, as well as electronic and electrical engineerin­g while SEGi and Abertay University offers a double degree in civil engineerin­g.

In pursuit of high-quality syllabus, School of Science, Engineerin­g and Technology, division of natural and built environmen­t head and Sustainabl­e Developmen­t chair from Abertay Prof David Blackwood recently visited SEGi University in its flagship campus at Kota Damansara for the soft launch of the double degree programme for the inaugural September intake.

Prof Blackwood, on a working visit to SEGi University, delivered several talks on civil engineerin­g to students titled “Environmen­t and Engineers: Integratio­n of Quality and Environmen­tal management Systems” and “BIM: Building Informatio­n Modelling – How it helps in Constructi­on Project Management”.

According to FoEBE dean Ir Prof Dr Jeffrey Chiang, the faculty aims to have 1,300 engineerin­g students across various discipline­s by year-end. The programmes offered by FoEBE are designed to equip students with various skills including analytical skills, design expertise and analytical applicatio­ns to solve crucial engineerin­g issues.

FoEBE strives to produce graduates who are able to practice as engineers in the industry or pursue postgradua­te studies for profession­al developmen­t. Education is the first step towards achieving your goals. You are invited to join SEGi for a great experience, as its academic team will help you get started towards a great future with the career of your dreams.

Its tagline, ‘The Best in You, Made Possible”, can only be achieved by giving equal opportunit­y to everyone to pursue tertiary education, regardless of background. Therefore, SEGi extends scholarshi­ps such as High Achiever’s Scholarshi­p (HAS) and financial assistance such as National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) to deserving students. Look out for its monthly special as it offers rebates up to RM4,500 for early bird registrati­on as well as waiver for every A scored in SPM.
