Written by EduSpiral Consultant Services For more information contact 01111408838

The best university in Malaysia for students to obtain an aerospace engineering or aeronautical engineering degree is through UCSI University’s twinning programme with the University of Manitoba, Canada. This Engineering degree transfer pathway allows students from UCSI University in

Malaysia to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada by completing a portion of their degree studies at UCSI University in Malaysia and then transferring to The University of Manitoba for the remainder of their degree program.

Top Ranked UCSI University offers the 2+2 Canadian Twinning Programme for Aerospace Engineering in Malaysia.  Students after SPM or O-Levels will join the Foundation in Science at UCSI University for 1 year before going into the Manitoba Engineering degree transfer programme for 2 years. However, students can transfer to the University of Manitoba (UM) anytime during their studies as long as thy complete a minimum of eight Year 1 courses at UCSI University. To be accepted to UM the student must obtain an overall GPA of 2.7 and pass all courses with a minimum grade of C. All courses taken at UCSI are transferred to UM once they have been accepted.

However, students can transfer to the University of Manitoba (UM) anytime during their studies as long as thy complete a minimum of eight Year 1 courses at UCSI.

To be accepted to UM the student must obtain an overall GPA of 2.7 and pass all courses with a minimum grade of C. All courses taken at UCSI are transferred to UM once they have been accepted.

As a university, UCSI has autonomy with their courses and U of M assesses each course periodically for equivalency to courses taught at U of M. Additionally, UM makes yearly visits to UCSI University to assess the quality of education and meet wth administrators, instructors and students in the program.

The current pathway applies to all of the programs in the Faculty of Engineering:

  • Biosystems Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Computer Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering (including the Aerospace Option and Manufacturing Option)

The pages within this section describe the pathway and the courses that the students can take at UCSI to transfer successfully to the University of Manitoba.

This program has been designed to meet Faculty residency requirements and specific Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements. Both institutions often modify their program so the student is encouraged to contact the program coordinators for updated transfer requirements.

Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba’s Mechanical Engineering program is ranked 5th among

About the Mechanical Engineering Transfer Pathway at UCSI University

This pathway enables you to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba by completing the first portion of your degree studies in Malaysia at UCSI University (UCSI) then transferring to the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for the remainder of your degree studies.

You can complete up to twenty-two courses at UCSI prior to transferring to the University of Manitoba.

 What are the typical courses in the program?

Mechanical Engineering starts with a common first year with other engineering

students, then goes on to a common second year with Manufacturing Engineering students.

Undergraduate engineering courses teach students how to use computer software, analysis techniques, devices and equipment, and standardized data to improve mechanical systems and processes.

Typical courses are heat transfer, mechanics of machines, stress analysis, fluid mechanics, energy, controls, dynamics, vibrations and acoustics, communications, electronics, economics, production and operations management, and materials science.

What are the subjects taken for the Aerospace Option?

The Mechanial Engineering Program has five Technical Elective slots to be filled with non-core courses of your choice.  The five Elective spots can be filled with courses from the Aerospace Option shown below. These subjects are taken at UM.

Aerspace Option (must take all 5 courses)

  • Aerodynamics
  • Aerospace Structures: Analyss ad Design

The University of Manitoba Mechanical Engineering program was the first in Canada to introduce a team-based capstone engineering design course. Because Manitoba industry competes to have students work on their projects (more projects are submitted than required each year), the designs are challenging real life projects.

Each team has both an industry contact person and professional engineer advisor to guide them. Engineering design is also incorporated in other courses throughout the program.

In addition, a co-op work experience option is available in Mechanical Engineering, with paid work, and recognition on the diploma.

Can a UCSI Student do the cooperative education program at the University of Manitoba?

The auditorium at UCSI's North Wing campus
The auditorium at UCSI’s North Wing campus

Yes, as long as the student is in good academic standing, he/she can apply to enter the cooperative program.

Acceptance into the program is dependent upon the student receiving a job placement either through the Office of Cooperative Education or on their own.

Once a job placement has been secured, the student is accepted into the program and enrolls in the respective coop courses. A work permit must also be obtained.

In order to stay in the cooperative program in, a student must maintain a minimum Grade Point Average of 2.00 and must obtain a grade of ’’pass’’ for each work term report.

All rules and regulations of the Faculty of Engineering apply. Students who do not maintain these standards, may not remain in the cooperative program and may be transferred back into the traditional program or required to withdraw completely.

Why should I take Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba?
The University of Manitoba’s Mechanical Engineering program is fully accredited by Manitoba logothe Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB).

A PC-based computer laboratory facility is available 24 hours a day to students in the department, as well as access to Sun workstations.

Well equipped, modern laboratory facilities enhance course work: biomechanics, wind tunnel, robotics and automation, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermal fluid sciences, and polymer composite processing.

University of Manitoba’s students are also involved in a number of student technical societies and participate in international events each year: SAE (Society of Manufacturing Engineers), ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Engineers), CASI (Canadian Aerospace Students Institute) and CSME (Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineers) build cars and gliders for international competitions. The SAE team has been very successful in competition and boasts the second largest team worldwide.
