The University’s School of Engineering offers comprehensive engineering programmes that are affordable yet with highly innovative training methods that rival some of the most prestigious foreign degrees. All these factors work towards enhancing the School’s reputation not just among Asian students but from across the world.

Taylor’s University School of Engineering is also an official collaborator in the ‘Conceiving – Designing – Implementing – Operating’ CDIO™ Initiative alongside famous institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California State University, the University of Sydney and University of Auckland. Taylor’s University is the first and only Malaysian University that has, thus far, been accepted into this initiative, which is an innovative education framework for producing the next generation of engineers.

Academics
Programmes at the School of Engineering implement a curriculum that combines both theory and practice, focussing on a project-based learning. Students are prepared for the job-market by following an academic module that concentrates on research and applications.
Students at this School are not just trained in the classroom or the lab but experience a hands-on approach to engineering, with the opportunity to turn their academic learning into applications.

Teamwork is a vital part of studying at Taylor’s University and programmes at the School of Engineering are no different. Working together allows graduates to take on industrial challenges in their careers, and further helps them in management and supervision roles.

Innovation is key to academics at Taylor’s University School of Engineering. Students are trained in innovation through a technique called ‘Design Thinking’. The chance to present research papers from the undergraduate level itself allow students to absorb and develop in application knowledge while keeping abreast of cutting-edge research in their field.

Further, strong collaborations both within the industry and with other educational institutes give students that extra edge in today’s job-market. University partnerships in Australia include the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales and in the UK, which include the University of Bath and the University of Warwick.

The Best Engineering Degree Programmes in Malaysia at Taylor’s University

A brief outline of some of the programmes on offer at the School of Engineering is listed below:

• Foundation in Engineering: Students after SPM who are sure of taking the engineering degree programme may go for the 1 year Foundation in Engineering at Taylor’s University. As part of their course of study, students will be exposed to an innovative and technologically-driven programme that employs digital tools to enhance teaching and learning. If you are unsure of whether engineering or other science programmes, you should go for the Foundation in Science.
• Foundation in Science: This is a flexible programme that exposes students to core principles in science, providing them with the knowledge and skills to pursue undergraduate programmes in engineering science or health science.
• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Chemical Engineering: This programme is aimed at students who are keen to learn about the design and operation of processes basic to human survival – such as food, fuel, medicines, plastic etc – and the professional engineering skills needed to turn these chemical, biological and physical processes into safe and sustainable industrial practice.
• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering: Concerned with solving

  

  practical problems using electrical science, Electronic Engineering is the handling of these electrical or optical signals while Electrical Engineering deals with the use of electricity as a source of energy. After completing one–two years of this 4-year programme at Taylor’s University, students have the option to transfer to several universities across the world, such as those in the UK or Australia.

• Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering: This field is the most broad-based of the engineering professions. Its exponents are involved at some stage in the conception, design, production, finance and marketing of all manufactured goods from the largest power station, space craft and car plant to the most delicate mechanisms required for scientific instruments; for example, heart valves and micro-surgery.
• Master of Science in Engineering (By Research): This one-year research programme prepares

  

  students to advance their careers in the industry and research – allowing for possible future PhD opportunities.  Concentrating on a wide range of key research areas such as Aeronautics, Airplane and Missile Design, Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Drying Technology, Separation Technology, Turbulence Modelling and Vibration, the programme aims to enhance industrial research. Students have the opportunity to apply relevant research techniques to their chosen field of study.

• PhD in Engineering: Scholars pursuing a PhD in Engineering at Taylor’s University are required to develop their independent thinking approach as well as bring their unique expertise to their area of research. All PhD students attend the Scientific Research Practices and Entrepreneurship modules in their first year of candidature. Taylor’s University launched its Ph.D. Fellowship Award in April 2010, for outstanding scholars pursuing a Ph.D. degree in several fields including Engineering – a great opportunity for research candidates.
