Introduction

Integrated Engineering  

UTP’s Bachelor of Integrated Engineering with Honours is a distinctive transdisciplinary engineering programme in Malaysia planned to be offered in 2025. With the growing recognition by the industry coupled with the rise of renewable energy demand, there is a need in the marketplace to offer a new kind of engineering that complements the existing single engineering disciplines. The transdisciplinary discipline can interconnect such opportunities in these marketplaces. Thus, both single and transdisciplinary disciplines are required to solve the current engineering problems and challenges.

Industries believe that an interdisciplinary programme is ideal and aligns with their goal of hiring more diverse people. Hiring all-rounded engineers supports the intention of career mobility and rotation for wider functions within a company. The industry further deems that an engineer who understands the needs of other disciplines with sufficient business knowledge would be able to seamlessly work with peers from other functions. Furthermore, industries prefer graduates to have diverse skills and knowledge.

Curriculum Design  

The curriculum design follows the required courses for these areas as outlined in the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)’s “Guideline for Topping-Up for Unrecognised Bachelor of Engineering Degree/Change of Branch.” The programme emphasises technical skills integrated with non-technical skills (e.g., business acumen, design thinking, agile project management, data analytics) contextualised to complex engineering problems using a project-based-learning (PBL) approach.

The PBL approach is consistently integrated into students’ educational experiences, with continuous iteration and scaffolding to guide them towards practical engineering solutions. The programme promotes a collaborative teaching model connecting academic professionals with industry practitioners to jointly deliver the course. Industry engagement involves collaborating on curriculum design, sharing real-world challenges, coaching students, and participating in evaluation and assessment processes. Students’ learning experience is further enhanced by their opportunity to go abroad for one dedicated semester.​
