Engineering is the practical application of science and math to solve problems, and it is everywhere in the world around you. From the start to the end of each day, engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves.
Engineers are problem-solvers who want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively. From computer chips and satellites to medical devices and renewable energy technologies, engineering makes our modern life possible.
In particular, electrical engineers and computer engineers have a wide range of study options and career paths that let them design, build, and manage those ideas into reality. Engineers are responsible for creating what never existed before, and have influenced every product and construction used by modern society.
Engineering is everywhere and shaping our world for the better Now and in the future, engineers will play a vital role in finding solutions to many of the important issues facing us today, such as global warming, energy supplies, clean water, food shortages, transport, obesity, healthcare and the ageing population.

Entry Requirements to Study Engineering in Malaysia
SPM students thinking of an engineering career should understand that study at Foundation or Pre-U level is essential to gain access to a professional engineering degree course in Malaysia. Additional Mathematics, physics and chemistry subjects are required for entry into the Pre-U for engineering degree courses in Malaysia.
Which Foundation in Engineering or Foundation in Science course to study in Malaysia?
Many students do not realize that not all Foundation courses are the same. Each university has its own Foundation course and the subjects are different from university to university. A student who went to study Foundation at a university in Kampar contacted me. He was planning to go for Civil Engineering but the problem was that he was weak in Biology and kept failing the subject, therefore not able to complete his Foundation.
Which engineering course to study in Malaysia?
The traditional engineering courses that students in Malaysia choose to study are:
UCSI University Chemical Engineering students Chong Jeunn Hao, Soh Wei Ming, Tan Kuan Leong and Ho Lup Fai bagged first runner-up and RM2,000 at the 9th Malaysia Chem-E-Car Competition 2014.
Students in Malaysia interested in engineering courses would be happy to know that there is job demand for most types of engineering courses. It is important to choose a course that has job demand after you graduate. Some students have asked me about Aerospace Engineering or Aircraft Engineering.
You may love planes but the question I ask students is, “Where in Malaysia are we making planes for you to find a job at?”
What is the average salary for engineers in Malaysia?
According to a survey by the Institute of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), engineers are earning an average of RM90,744 in 2010.
The salary can go up to RM250,000 a year depending on experience and the industry.
What are the skills needed to succeed as an engineer in Malaysia?
It takes more than having the right engineering skills to be able to move up the career path.

Engineering First Year (EFY) program at Curtin University Sarawak
The Engineering First Year (EFY) program prepares students to enter their second year in their chosen engineering discipline.
Curtin University Sarawak's Ling is honoured to be the first Malaysian to receive the IEEE Larry K. Wilson Award
EFY students learn mechanics, materials and electrical systems which provides a good physical understanding in order to design engineering solutions for the physical world. Engineering solutions also require a mathematical and logical mind. This aspect will be trained in the two engineering mathematics unit and one programming unit offered in the year. Even the best engineering mind does not work in isolation. Now, more important than ever, engineers are expected to perform in teams and communicate with technical and non-technical people. In semester one and semester two of EFY, we put students into multi-cultural groups to design, build and present engineering solutions. These Problem Based Learning (PBL) approaches simulate the engineer’s working environment and better prepares student for their studies and the rigours of the working world. One of the strengths of the EFY program is students have the chance to change their course before entering second year. From my own experience, many students enter the first year without a clear understanding of their chosen engineering discipline. With the EFY program, students have one year to meet with senior students, academics and industry partners who can give a clearer and accurate sense of the many engineering discipline offered in Curtin Sarawak. The student can then make the right choice in his or her career. Student engineers who complete the EFY have demonstrated competence in engineering knowledge, worked in teams and communicated engineering designs. They are ready and able to continue their second year studies and in a few years transition from student engineer to graduate engineer.
