Program Overview

Unleash your creativity and design expertise with this cutting-edge Diploma of Engineering Technology (Industrial Design). This dynamic and innovative programme is specifically designed to equip you with the technical knowledge, design skills and industry insights needed to thrive in the fast-paced world of industrial design.

At the core of this programme are skills-based courses that allow you to operate computer-aided design systems, interact with computing technology, and explore the fourth industrial revolution. You'll learn how to ideate, prototype and refine designs using the latest technologies, including computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D printing. With a focus on practical, hands-on learning, you'll be immersed in a range of design projects that reflect real-world scenarios and challenges.

This programme offers a selection of exciting electives with coherent fundamentals to suit your interests and ensure you're ready for employment. Whether you're interested in product design, process engineering design, environmental process design, or electrical and electronics system design, you'll have the freedom to tailor your studies to your individual goals.

The Diploma of Engineering Technology (Industrial Design) programme combines engineering principles with creative design thinking, giving students a unique perspective on the design processes. This programme has obtained provisional accreditation from the Engineering Technology Accreditation Standard (ETAC) and the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA), ensuring its quality and recognition. With a total of 90 credit hours to complete, students will have the opportunity to work on real-world design projects both independently and in teams throughout the programme, allowing them to showcase their skills and knowledge in designing innovative solutions to real-world problems. In the final semester, students will engage in industrial training to hone their professional skills, promoting growth and development while gaining hands-on experience in industrial and technological skills.

The teaching and learning strategies and assessments are designed depending on and according to the nature of the course or topic being taught or investigated. The Faculty implements different methods and styles of teaching and learning and assessment to ensure the successful achievement of the learning outcomes of its programmes, which include:
