Government-Linked Universities (GLU)

Government Linked Universities comprising of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Multimedia University (MMU) and Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN).

Established in 2016, the alliance aims to synergise their strength for nation building, quality, sustainability and branding.

Referring to GLU’s logo, the capital letter ‘A’ is an abbreviation from the initial letter of Alliance. It signifies ‘quality’ in result oriented initiatives in improving higher education through industrial input. The ‘A’ is also designed to illustrate the numeric ‘4’ at a second glance, referring to the four initial members in the alliance; namely Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Multimedia University and Universiti Tenaga Nasional.

The outer circle emphasises or brings immediate attention to the letter ‘A’ or ‘Alliance’. It connotes a sense of ‘consensus’ and ‘completeness’ in the world of tertiary education. The logotype is also designed in the fusion of 3 colors; a reflection of the ‘house color’ of participating Universities. Blue reflects stability, confidence and intelligence of the alliance. Red symbolises pragmatism, strength and determination. Lastly, grey provides the effect of balance and composure to the overall logo design.

MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSES (MOOCS)

The Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) defines MOOCs within the following four terms :

Generally, massive is associated with the capacity of the course offered to serve a large number of learners. While the majority of MOOC has had only a few hundred participants, the number of registered participants in some courses have surpassed 150,000 people.
In the MOOC context, open refers to offering learning experience to a large number of participants globally regardless of their age, location, income, level of education, and ideology without any pre-requisite, or course entrance fees in order to have access to high quality education.
The term online is associated with the accessibility of MOOC from each location of the world through Internet connection to provide synchronous and/or asynchronous interactions between the participants (instructors and learners) and content of the course.
In higher education, the term course is referred to as a unit of teaching. In the context of MOOC, it refers to a structured curriculum which normally consists of the following:

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
Course Description/Synopsis

GLUMinor: Aviation Engineering

This minor is designed to introduce students to the field of aircraft structure, maintenance practices, avionics systems and aircraft turbine engine. The courses will introduce students to basic structural design and components, aircraft electrical system as well as understanding the constructions of aircraft turbine engines. The courses include theories, practical and practical demonstrations of each module with related aircraft engineering and operations especially in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul activities (MRO). The modules are developed from European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) input. Prior knowledge in basic electrical engineering, materials engineering and introduction to turbine powerplant systems are an advantage in order to have better understanding of the subjects.

Aircraft structures is a subject that covers all aspects of the aircraft construction features and components, analysis of structures, designing methods, classifications, assembling techniques, defect identification and inspection methods, repair methods and procedures in order to ensure structural integrity and hence maintain the airworthiness of the aircraft.

Aircraft Structure Repair is the core knowledge in the aviation industry, which relates to the scope of work of structural engineers. The knowledge is essential for the graduates to perform normal tasks, for example, aircraft structure design concept i.e. structural and loading deformation, damage characterisation and inspection requirement and design of repair.

This is an introductory course aimed at providing students with the fundamental concepts of aircraft composite repair. These concepts are essential since the students will encounter composite components damages in the aviation industries later.

The aim of this course is to provide students with the understanding of aircraft electrical system for a detailed operation inclusive of the function of aircraft electrical components. This is an essential requirement for aircraft engineers to comprehend in aircraft electrical system.

Turbine Engine and Indicating System is one of the major systems which is the requirement in the manufacturing of aircraft, hence the knowledge and understanding about this system is very important to the engineer in order to maintain the aircraft engine and its system in satisfactory condition which affects the aircraft airworthiness.

This is an introductory course aimed at providing students with the fundamental construction of turbine engine and its related components which forms the foundation for their later lessons in turbine engine 2 (systems).

This course is aimed at providing students with the various systems of turbine engine and their related components.

GLUMinor: Aviation Management

This minor is designed to introduce to students the expanse of air transport matters The courses cover in major air transportation issues and sustainable air transport policy, airport operation system, airport management system, air cargo operations and freight logistics. The modules will expose the students with knowledge on airport system, the fundamental aviation financial performance and measurement. The modules are developed from International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) input.

This course is to provide students with the understanding of major air transportation issues and also the concept of a sustainable air transport policy in terms of Energy, Economy, and Environment as well as the various funding mechanisms for Air Transportation

This course will prepare students / graduates going to an aircraft maintenance and repair organization (MRO) for OJT / practical / an appointment as a management trainee.

This course is to provide students with the understanding of the operational system in the airport according to ICAO rules and regulation.

This course prepares graduates with knowledge, critical skills and exposure to various topics in aviation, commercial and airfreight industry. An industry driven programme linking current practice with theoretical models.

Students will be exposed to airline and airport financials, both cost and revenue. They will also be exposed to all financial planning and statements significantly for the airline & airport operations.
