Automotive Engineering (Hons) Technical University of Malaysia Melaka

Overview

The curriculum structure for the first two years of Bachelor of Automotive Engineering (Hons) from Technical University of Malaysia Melaka is to enhance the students’ basic engineering and mathematics knowledge before engaging in more specialized courses in mechanical and automotive engineering.

These subjects include Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Materials, Engineering Graphics and CAD, Engineering Mechanics, Differential Equation, Computer Programming, Principles of Electric and Electronics, Principle of Measurements and Instrumentation, and Manufacturing Process. Practical work and workshops are designed to enhance students' knowledge and skills. In addition, students will also study subjects such as Third Language, and Co-Curriculums. 

Year 2 students will be taking courses in mechanical and automotive engineering. These courses include Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing, Automotive Technology, Mechanical Design, Microprocessor Technology, Solid Mechanics, and Vehicle Electrical & Electronics. In addition, the students will study Engineering Mathematics II. Students will also take the university compulsory courses including Ethnic Relations, Co-Curriculum II, and Technical English. 

 In Year 3, students will study Control Engineering, Heat Transfer, Vehicle Dynamics, Mechanical Vibration, Vehicle System Modeling & Simulation, Internal Combustion Engine, and Engineering Statistics. In addition, students are required to conduct projects in Integrated Design Project I and Integrated Design Project II. Besides that, the students will undertake English for Professional Communication. Students are then required to undergo industrial training for at least 10 weeks, during the short semester (after semester 6) in selected industries. 

The objectives are to strengthen the engineering knowledge and theory as well as their hands-on skills. 

 Fourth-year students (final year), who are in their 7th and 8th semester, shall carry out Final Year Project (FYP), programme core and elective courses which are focused on advanced knowledge of Automotive Engineering.
