Overview
The Bachelor of Microelectronic Technology with Honours equips students with essential skills in electronics, semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) to meet the evolving demands of the microelectronics industry. This 3-year programme offers 2 years of on-campus learning and an optional 1-year Work-Based Learning pathway (2U1I), allowing students to undertake a one-year industry placement.... This structured internship enables students to earn academic credits while developing industry-specific skills and knowledge, enhancing their employability upon graduation.This programme is recognised by the Malaysian Board of Technologists (MBOT), providing graduates with professional recognition that boosts their credentials in the highly competitive field of microelectronics. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical training, it prepares graduates for careers in microelectronics, semiconductor manufacturing and AI-driven technologies. Intensify industry exposure to create workface ready graduates.
What is 2U1I?
2U1I stands for 2 years in University and 1 Year in Industry, a model designed to intensify industry exposure and produce workforce-ready graduates. Students have the option to pursue the Work-Based Learning (WBL) pathway, which includes a 1-year industry placement. This allows students to earn academic credits while gaining hands-on experience, developing industry-specific skills and enhancing their employability prospects.
Eligibility for WBL
- Completion of ALL Year 1 and 2 subjects, including MPU requirements.
- Fulfilment of any additional requirements specified by industry partners.
