Since its establishment in 1974, the Department of Electrical Engineering has been a leading provider of high-quality education in electrical engineering. Building upon the rich heritage of the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BEng. Electrical) program, which has been offered since 1959, we have continuously evolved to meet the demands of a rapidly changing technological landscape.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our global recognition. According to the QS Subject Rankings for 2023, we are proud to be ranked 61st globally in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This achievement is a testament to the exceptional quality of our undergraduate and postgraduate programs, which have consistently attracted top-tier candidates from Malaysia and around the world.
At the heart of our department are our dedicated and accomplished academic staff, who hold Ph.Ds from renowned universities worldwide. Their expertise and passion for teaching enable us to nurture the next generation of electrical engineers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in their careers.
The quality and relevance of our undergraduate programs are ensured through accreditation by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Furthermore, our status as signatories of the Washington Accord facilitates international recognition of our graduates' qualifications, enabling them to pursue careers in any member country.
To support our educational and research endeavors, we boast state-of-the-art facilities that provide an optimal environment for teaching and innovation. Our research focus areas encompass Power Systems, Renewable Energy, Image Processing, Telecommunications, Microelectronics, and Industrial Control. With access to cutting-edge equipment and engineering software, our students and faculty engage in groundbreaking research that contributes to advancements in the field.
Our department benefits from extensive resources, including the Engineering Library and University Library, which provide a vast array of references and research materials. We also leverage the facilities offered by the university and the faculty, such as workshops, computer laboratories, and CAD/CAM systems, to enhance the learning experience of our students.
We believe in the importance of industrial interaction and real-world exposure for our students. Through industrial training, visits, and guest lectures, we facilitate their immersion in the engineering environment. Many of our academic staff are Chartered or Professional Engineers, actively involved in industrial consultations and collaborations, further bridging the gap between academia and industry.
To stay at the forefront of engineering education, we continuously innovate our curriculum and foster collaborations with overseas universities. Through research activities and exchange programs, we cultivate a global perspective and enrich the learning journey of our students, who engage with peers from over 25 different countries.
