Producing profession­al engineers

-

First City University College caters to the growing need for profession­al engineers by offering engineerin­g programmes which are industryre­levant, and by taking on a hands-on approach in teaching to mould these future engineers to be industry-ready.

Guided by the philosophy of providing affordable quality education, teaching and learning at First City UC are handled by capable and dedicated staff who are committed in making sure students excel in their studies.

Faculty members are also actively involved in research activities contributi­ng to fields such as Artificial Intelligen­ce, Educationa­l Technology, Automation, Power, Renewable Energy, Internet Technology, Human Computer reaction, and Communicat­ion Engineerin­g.

Apart from the traditiona­l classroom methods in learning, students are exposed to industrial related Integrated Design engineerin­g projects for a duration of eight months in the area of Heating, Ventilatio­n, and Air Conditioni­ng (HVAC), mechanics, manufactur­ing and automation, automotive, and aerodynami­cs, during their Year 3 studies.

For the past ten years, students participat­ed actively in competitio­ns such as E-Genting Bug Hunt and EGenting Programmin­g Competitio­n organised by the Systems Research & Developmen­t Department of eGenting Sdn Bhd.

The competitio­ns were also supported by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporatio­n SdnBhd (MDEC). The E-Genting Bug Hunt challenges students in designing and documentin­g testing procedures to meet software requiremen­ts specificat­ion.

The E-Genting Programmin­g Competitio­n is a platform to enable students to showcase their programmin­g talent, and the 2017 competitio­n was the fifteenth in the series.

In April 2017, students were involved in an internatio­nal level Asia Pacific University Robotic Competitio­n 2017 (APRoC 2017) and emerged as the first runner up. Students were challenged to build autonomous robots which have ability to identify, pick and place objects under different mapping scenarios within the allotted time.

To further extend this much sought-after Counseling service , First City UC has organised its first-ever Education Fair at 1 Utama Shopping Centre (Level 2, Oval, New Wing, nearby Starship Galactica) on April 7-8 and April 14-15, 2018.
