DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING
The department was established in
1958 and is one of the oldest
departments in the University of
Malaya. Many graduates from this
Department have moved on to
become successful individuals who
have contributed to the growth of
the nation.
MED
currently
offers
two
undergraduate courses, Bachelor of
Mechanical
Engineering
and
Bachelor of Materials Engineering,
both of which require a minimum of
four years to complete. The Bachelor
of Materials Engineering course has
commenced in the academic session
of 1996/1997.
In order to ensure that MED
continually strives to produce
successful engineers who are able to
excel on the global stage, MED
employs a series of continuous
quality improvement measures. Its
academic and support staff are also
supported in their careers through a
series of training courses. There are
stringent intake requirements for
the academic staff, whose numbers
are on the increase, in order to
comply with the EAC criteria of an
ideal staff to student ratio of 1:15.
Besides its emphasis on teaching,
academic staffs also form expert
research groups in line with our
university status as the research
university
.
