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.
