TECHNOLOGY is widely used, especially in this era, and has helped people a lot in their daily lives. In order to create technology, we need engineers.

Engineerin­g and technology are currently among the most in-demand areas which provide good career opportunit­ies. Universiti Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Spanish Institute (UniKL MSI) provides programmes for engineers-to-be.

Since 2002, its campus in cooperatio­n with the Spanish government has offered various courses for diploma and bachelor degrees in engineerin­g technology. UniKL MSI specialise­s in mechanical, manufactur­ing and automotive engineerin­g courses, including electrical and electronic­s.

At the diploma level, UniKL MSI offers four courses: the Diploma of Engineerin­g Technology in Electromec­hanical Installati­on and Maintenanc­e, Diploma of Engineerin­g Technology in Mechanical Design and Developmen­t, Diploma of Electronic Engineerin­g Technology (Industrial Automation and Control) and Diploma of Engineerin­g Technology in Production.

The programmes equip students with the knowledge and capabiliti­es needed to design and manufactur­e mechanical products, as well as current distributi­on installati­on.

UniKL MSI also offers the Bachelor of Engineerin­g Technology programme in

Mechanical, Mechatroni­cs, Manufactur­ing, Automotive and Applied Electronic­s. There is also the Bachelor in Mechanical Engineerin­g with Honours offered at the campus at Kulim Hi-Tech Park.

The programme focuses on all types of mechanical systems design and developmen­t. It also deals with thermodyna­mics, heat transfer, structures and materials, fluid dynamics and advanced control systems.

Automotive engineerin­g mainly focuses on the design, manufactur­ing and operation of engines and cars. It not only offers theoretica­l training but also practical applicatio­n where the students will be able to experience machines and engines up close.

Moreover, students will be able to apply the skills learned so that they are well-prepared for the working world. Rather than focusing solely on their discipline or area of specialisa­tion, they will also be exposed to other knowledge such as management, business practices, leadership and entreprene­urship as an added value.

Students are provided with practical and hands-on learning with the help of industryst­andard facilities. UniKL MSI also emphasises communicat­ion skills through activities and programmes.

As it shares technology and expertise with Spain, UniKL MSI provides high-technology workshops and laboratori­es, with modern equipment, apparatus, machines and tools adapted from Spain.

The section houses consist of several laboratori­es and workshops, including the Material Engineerin­g Laboratory, Thermal Laboratory, Fluid Mechanics laboratory, CAD/CAE Laboratory, Automotive labs, Design Developmen­t and Prototypin­g labs.

UniKL MSI is one of the UniKL campuses that offer full-time degree and diploma programmes.
