Opportunity to excel globally

TO boost economic growth, countries are rapidly moving towards globalisation and modernisation. Malaysia is no exception, hence our current industrial policy of preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0).

Engineers play a major role in making the jump to Industry 4.0. As such, demand for engineers will skyrocket in the years to come. AIMST University’s aim is to produce potential engineers who will be the building blocks for Malaysia’s technological, economic and social development. AIMST University is proud to state that its engineering graduates have a 100% employment rate.

AIMST University’s Faculty of Engineering offers diploma and bachelor’s courses in electrical and electronic engineering, which are in high demand throughout the nation. The courses are accredited by the Malaysian Board of Engineers and recognised by the Washington Accord, which is focused on academic programmes that deal with the practice of engineering at the professional level. By acquiring an engineering degree or diploma at AIMST University, students can work and even further their studies internationally.

The faculty also has a strong bond with EG Industries subsidiary SMT Technologies, as well as working collaborations with Kontron Asia Pacific Design, Minibea and Agilent Technologies to provide a wider avenue of research and development opportunities for its students, as well as placement opportunities for industrial training.

To be in line with Industry 4.0, the faculty’s students and lecturers are continuously involved in high-quality research and development. One such project, which was presented on the international stage, is the “Intelligent algorithm-based remote Aedes aegypti mosquito and post-dengue patient monitoring, reporting and prevention solution”.

The project has received funding from Collaborative Research in Engineering Science and Technology. The project was presented at the Falling Walls Lab 2017 in Berlin, Germany, where AIMST University engineering student Sri Lahari was awarded “Young Innovator of the year 2017”.

The April intake for foundation and diploma in engineering is now open for registration. AIMST University also offers full scholarships for qualified Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia students who enrol in the Foundation in Science leading to a BSc (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering course.
