PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

For the past few decades, industries have evolved and progressed rapidly. The Ninth Malaysia Plan was drawn in response to the current global needs and to enable Malaysia to stay competitive in the world market. Thus, to keep abreast with rapid technological advancements and evolving requirements in industries today, Department of Polytechnic Education (DPE) constantly collaborates with major industry players in the country in developing the respective curriculum. One of the most important factors driving the growth of productivity is by having a qualified and talented manpower in order for the industry to develop and remain competitive in the world market. This is equally true in industries where there is a rapidly growing demand for highly competent and technically savvy workforce. The activities of many industries require increasingly competent technician in engineering field, particularly in mechatronic engineering.

In response to these issues, Curriculum Development and Evaluation Division of the Department of Polytechnic Education has developed and introduced Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering for polytechnic. This programme aims to prepare students with knowledge, skills and abilities necessary in the mechanical engineering industries. To ensure the curriculum content fulfils the industrial requirement, several key players from related industries have been involved in the curriculum development process.

Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering for polytechnic is developed to give balanced emphasis on theoretical and practical aspects. The programme will take s ix semesters to complete, relatively three academic semesters at their respective polytechnics and one semester of industrial training at relevant industries during
