UTHM- BACHELOR OF ENGENERING (MECHANICAL-MANUFACTURING)

The course is designed to fulfill the need of the manufacturing sector in Malaysia which has grown continuously since 20 years ago. The country then was experiencing a transition from an economy based on agriculture to that based on manufacturing and thus required many manufacturing engineers. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has contributed immensely towards producing and the development of manufacturing engineers capable of satisfying the need of the manufacturing industry.

Generally, the career of a manufacturing engineer is focused towards improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes use and management of production system, equipment and human resources in manufacturing a particular product. Today the career opportunity for manufacturing engineers has increased rapidly in facing the challenges of globalisation, the national vision 2020 and various trade agreements such as AFTA.

These challenges have further place the manufacturing sector under pressure to ensure that products produced can compete internationally, are inexpensive and of good quality. Hence, the role of manufacturing engineers is always relevant, and the faculty will always ensure that the manufacturing engineering graduates are equipped with up-to-date knowledge and tools to keep in phase with current development. A wealth of career opportunity awaits the manufacturing engineering graduate to serve in various industries.

Field Of Study - Manufacturing Engineering

The study of Manufacturing Engineering involves the selection of machines, tooling, manufacturing systems and product processing parameters. The focus of study will be in the manufacturing technology. The field of study includes :

a) Tooling for Production
The manufacturing of products requires appropriate tools. This area covers jig and fixture design, principles of tooling design such as locating and clamping. Theory of metal shearing and sheet metal bending are also introduced.

b) CAD/CAM
Computer aided design and manufacturing is a field involving the production of models and part programmes for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines.  he principles of Coordinate Measuring Machine are also introduced.

c) Metrology and Quality Control
Metrology is a study of the science of measurement involving accuracy and traceability of measurement. Quality control taught includes aspects of statistical quality control, product quality improvement and process capbility.

d) Machining Technology and Processes
Machining technology for metals such as turning, milling and grinding is introduced. Modern machining such as the use of abrasive jet, electrical discharge, laser beam and chemical milling are also covered.

e) Other Technologies
Other technologies taught include welding, casting, metal forming and plastic moulding. Their fundamentals and methods of processing are also described.

Programme Structure

 

" Discover the next dimension to creativity".

“There are no boundaries in design. Challenge the present and change the future.” 

Make our world better by improving the things we use and the spaces we live in. Your learning here encompasses a broad range of disciplines in both personal and public environments. Here, you will develop your individual design language and be equipped with the know-how to apply it. Discover the history and meaning behind our physical world - and be instilled with the confidence to lead the changes to come.

The diplomas in the Department of 3D Design will foster your creative thinking through an emphasis on studio practice. Get a foothold across all 3D disciplines through a learning experience with a global attitude.

We have combined the disciplines of landscape and architecture to give you a better understanding of the considerations that go behind designing spaces. Here, you learn to manage the human and environmental forces behind the changes in landscape.

Master the art of creating unforgettable display experiences for interior and exhibition spaces. You may also learn to experience furniture in a whole new way - as both functional objects of space and cultural icons. Develop your competencies in critical analysis when you investigate changing cultures, technology, trends and their influence on design.

You are also given the option of studying materials and crafts in products ranging from personal expression to lifestyle, as well as special techniques involved in jewellery design. We aim to set the pace of integrating design and culture into your study of elemental technologies and sustainable production methods.

" To bridge the gap between creativity and business, we have included the basics in business management, brand marketing and production throughout your core modules - giving you the edge you need to stand out in your field, and the disciplines that go beyond it ".
