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 mechanical engineering.
In response to these issues, Curriculum Development and Evaluation Division of
the Department of Polytechnic Education has developed and introduced Diploma in
Mechanical 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 Mechanical Engineering for polytechnic is developed to give balanced
emphasis on theoretical and practical aspects. The programme will take six semesters
to complete, relatively three academic semesters at their respective polytechnics
and one semester of industrial training at relevant industries during the fourth
semester. Students are required to return to their respective institutions for the
completion of the programme in the fifth and sixth semester.
