5 Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya Engineering is not simply an academic field that deals with technology, statistics and science. It is an exciting and rewarding discipline that has a much wider scope, ranging from basic science to applied technology. Engineers make a significant difference in the lives of millions of people. Through identifying problems and seeking new solutions, they create and design items that benefit the lives of everyone, from cars, computers and buildings, through to life-saving equipment, the generation of energy and medical procedures. Engineering is not about what the world is, it is about what the world can be. Here at the University of Malaya we offer advanced world-class facilities that cover a broad range of expertise. We encourage our students to explore subjects that sit outside the conventional constraints of engineering education, as well as those traditionally found in mainstream fields. At the heart of everything we do is the need to empower our students to think creatively and challenge existing practice. Research is a key activity within the faculty and we encourage large-scale studies and a flexible approach to inter-disciplinary collaborations with other academic institutions and members of the industry in order to tackle the wide range of issues facing our society and the natural world. The Faculty of Engineering has invested heavily in the student experience and places researchled teaching at the core of our program. We endeavor to fully support our students and researchers in their research activities and encourage them to accomplish their aims regardless of whether their studies focus on a single academic field, or address wider challenges that are shaped by the emerging needs of industry and society. In many areas, our students are clearly leading the world in their discoveries and developments. The system of education offered by the Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, is carefully structured to enable students to study both the basics of their selected field of engineering as well as mastering more specialist areas of expertise. We provide instruction in core engineering principles that are essential in any era, and compliment this with education on the latest developments. Engineering is a discipline that is perpetually advancing and, as such, we offer options for studying traditional and innovative engineering principles for interdisciplinary engineering fields, such as biomedical engineering and sustainable development. Within our postgraduate programs, individuals are encouraged to identify and organize issues within a wider research theme. Research plans are drawn up, and the faculty supports the students to develop the individual competence and character required to effectively implement them. The objective is not only to nurture researchers in specialist areas, but also to foster highly competent academics, who are capable of tackling issues across a multitude of fields and occupations in society. Given the current trend for cultivating international talent and exchanges, our international strategy acts as a centripetal force that attracts both students and researchers of the highest caliber from around the world. The Faculty of Engineering here at the University of Malaya is proud of our long-standing international reputation and we strive to create a learning environment that embodies a community of ideas, technical excellence and innovation. We hope to engender mutual understanding and respect for international culture and encourage the use of English as the common language. Above all, the engineering faculty at the University of Malaya is committed to producing the inventors and entrepreneurs of the future, and we aim to produce distinguished graduates who are capable of advancing the technological innovations that are required to adequately address global challenges. 5
