Postgraduate |
In line with the university plan, the establishment of postgraduate programmes is one of strategic planning in order to strengthen academic and research capability. Taking into account national agenda, pertinent industrial needs and state of the art of knowledge development, Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal (FKM) developed their postgraduate programme focused on the specific area. |
Master by Taught Course |
The Master programme by Taught Course (or coursework) is designed to extend the knowledge and skills gained from the first degree and to develop new professional skills of the graduates in a particular area of study. The programme involves lectures, seminars and project work. Forty credit hours of taught subjects and a research report and a final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 3.0 are required for the award of the Master's degree. The study comprises a combination of compulsory subjects, electives, and a Master’s Project. Assessments are made through take-home assignments, tests, and final semester examinations. Students’ progress and performance in the Master project is assessed through oral presentations and a written report.
Duration Full Time/Part-Time Course

Master by Mix-Mode |
Mixed Mode refers to the combination of taught courses and research activities. The assessment depends upon both the coursework and dissertation (research work). The component for the coursework is 50% and the dissertation contributes the other 50%. The Mixed Mode program develops the research skill of the students on top of enhancing the theoretical knowledge of the subject area.
Duration 4-8 semesters (2-4 years)
Registration Mode Course

Master by Research (Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MMCA)) |
The candidate will be supervised by academic staff (or a panel of supervisors) from the faculty. The directed research work will focus on a particular subject that introduces candidates to the processes by which new knowledge is developed or/and applied accordingly. The specific topic of investigation will be agreed upon by the supervisor (or panel of supervisors) and the candidate. The academic progress of a candidate is assessed through a research Progress Report submitted at the end of each semester. The degree is awarded based on an oral examination (viva-voce) of the thesis submitted by the candidate on completion of the study. Candidates intending to study by research may submit their application for admission throughout the year.

Engineering Doctorate Programme (EngD) |
The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a 4-year doctoral-level programme combining academic research and scholarship with industrial problem-solving and project management. The programme incorporates the industrial relevant research, team leadership, and unique university-industry partnership. The academic degree awarded on the basis of advanced study and research in engineering is equivalent to a PhD degree in engineering/applied sciences. The innovative research output from the programme is expected to be immediately useful to the participating company. The Engineering Doctorate programme offers an opportunity for outstanding engineers to enhance their qualification through a mix of broadly based technical and professional training while completing an industry-based research project. Successful researchers after completing the programme not only graduate with a title Doctor of Engineering, but also with the important mix of professional skills, technical knowledge and research experience that will enable them to progress to senior positions within the industry at an acceleration rate. |
