Engineering

The School of Engineering at APU is one of our fastest growing schools and is gaining popularity among school leavers. This is because all the five engineering programmes offered by the School are current in terms of technology and are market driven, and thus have great employment opportunities.

The vision of the School is to be a leading provider of Engineering and Technology based education with innovative approaches to enhancing lifelong career opportunities. This is emphasised by our mission to provide engineering education based on a theoretical, experimental, and ethical foundation and enhanced by opportunities for participation in research, internships and interdisciplinary study.

For all degrees within the School, APU links with industry helps provide internship training placements for students. Internships are compulsory for all students as per the requirement of the Board of Engineers Malaysia.

THE AIMS OF THE APU ENGINEERING PROGRAMMES ARE TO OFFER:

• A broad education in the fundamentals of engineering principles and professional practices that form a strong flexible base which enables graduates to fill a variety of responsible engineering positions.
