Welcome

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering postgraduate degree programs prepare students for both professional careers and advanced study, with a strong foundation of basic principles. The programs use formal classroom instruction, seminars, and self directed studies to prepare graduate students to develop both technically and contextually appropriate solutions. Research is an integral part of postgraduate degree programs, providing research areas and opportunities for graduate student interactions with expert academics and outside professionals. Some of these research areas includes electronics, microelectronics, computer engineering, information technology, telecommunications, mechatronics, robotics, control engineering, electrical power engineering and energy conversion.

Besides meeting the requirements of advanced academic study, the research projects are designed to enhance economic use of our material resources and to promote well-balanced industrial and professional development. The active research environment provides the academic staff, researchers and graduate students with the latest facilities and technology necessary for quality research work, relevant to today’s electrical engineering field. The graduate faculty, which currently consists of a total of 73 professors, associate professors and lecturers with PhDs, provides extensive research competence and engineering expertise, to perform applied research addressing problems of state, national and international importance. The Graduate Faculty is supported by 40 trained technicians. This staff strength, coupled with state-of-the-art research facilities in 40 computer and engineering laboratories, ensure the teaching, learning and research activities always maintain high academic standards and of world-class quality.

Researches are funded by grants from both the government and industry. For the past three years, the faculty has succeeded in securing, on the average, a total of RM 7 million a year in research grants. The faculty also provides important educational services to industries, professions, and the general public. Short courses, conferences and workshops taught by the faculty provide valuable interactions among professionals in the electrical engineering field. Currently, undergraduate enrollment is around 3000, while postgraduate student enrollment is about 600, which should reach a target of about 700 in 2010. The faculty is organized into eight departments and five centers of excellence, as listed below.
