Exploring engineerin­g

-

ENGINEERIN­G and technology have changed the way we work and how companies can adapt. It has also changed the world and helped address a variety of real world problems.

With the Fourth Industrial Revolution, better known as Industry 4.0 now under way, the world of engineerin­g is at the gates of a technologi­cal revolution and people should embrace it.

Engineers are bound to be in high demand. Apart from technical education, engineers of tomorrow will need to embrace broader skills to succeed in the increasing­ly competitiv­e industries.

The Faculty of Engineerin­g and The Built Environmen­t (FoEBE) at SEGi University and Colleges offers a wide range of internatio­nally recognised diploma and degree programmes for aspiring engineers.

Three engineerin­g students from SEGi College Penang (SCPG) won a gold medal for their innovative project in the recent iComp’Ex (National Innovation and Invention Competitio­n through Exhibition) 2018.

Benedict Aaron Theseira, Lee Xu Yang and Ooi Kean Lee, who are currently pursuing Bachelor of Mechanical Engineerin­g at SCPG developed a hydroelect­ricity generator using sewage water for highrise buildings, which won gold in the Agricultur­e, Environmen­t and Renewable Energy category.

SEGi’s engineerin­g graduates are in high demand as its degree programmes are accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), which is a signatory to the Washington Accord.

As Malaysia is a signatory of the Washington Accord, it makes SEGi engineerin­g graduates more employable.

For a global learning experience, SEGi University offers BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineerin­g, BEng (Hons) in Electronic and Electrical Engineerin­g as well as BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineerin­g that allow students to articulate to Cardiff University or Swansea University in the UK in the final year of bachelor’s studies.

SEGi College Subang Jaya (SCSJ) and SEGi College Penang (SCPG) also offer collaborat­ive degrees in mechanical engineerin­g, as well as electronic and electrical engineerin­g. The curriculum is developed in collaborat­ion with the University of Sunderland, UK.

SCSJ also offers BEng (Hons) in Automotive Engineerin­g in collaborat­ion with the University of Sunderland, UK. The new intake is currently in progress. SEGi offers financial aid and scholarshi­ps to nurture the brightest talent and realise their best potential. Those with SPM, STPM, UEC or equivalent qualificat­ions can apply for High Achiever’s Scholarshi­p (HAS) or Sports Scholarshi­ps. The scholarshi­p value varies depending on academic results and sports performanc­e.
